A sport centered around kicking and balls leaves me sick and unable to watch.

wrong. A 21-14 football game has 5 TDs, and 5 extra points. A 3-2 soccer game only has five goals:)

So much fun to be had with this post....
Because it can be play for 3 hours and end in a 1-1 tie.
45 minute halfs ... 1.5 hours total.
Because girls can play.
Don't like getting your arse kicked by a girl, eh?
Because the foreign aka "rabid" fans, dare call it football.
All over the world soccer is known as football. The term soccer comes from "Association Football" (don't ask me how that happened, though). Besides, for the most part all you can use is your foot, so the term fits the game of soccer better than it does (as an Irish friend of mine once put it) American "throw & catch"

Cyclists are very gay. They shave. They wear spandex. They are also some of the greatest athletes on earth. They ride six hours in freezing cold and boiling hot weather at speeds up to 70 miles an hour, and on long climes with grades of 15 percent

A lot of players hold hands in the huddle and I've even seen linemen hold hands as they break from the huddle and walk to the line of scrimmage. How queer is that?!!!

Soccer is for sissies! Rugby football kicks a$$! Saw a bumper sticker once that said "Rugby - A ruffian sport played by gentlemen
Soccer - A gentlemen sport played by ruffians"
Not sure what to make of that.

Because it can be play for 3 hours and end in a 1-1 tie. Same could be said for hockey. But as a hockey fan, some of the most exciting games are 2-1 or 1-0 games. Now the MLS is pretty boring stuff compared to International matches, when there are higher quality of players and more is at stake. I find it hard to be enthusiastic about the MLS because it lacks a sense of rivalry, unlike most of the other countries. But the World Cup is exciting to watch, and when the US inevitably makes it to the Finals, the ratings in this country will rival the Super Bowl.

Soccer; How do I hate thee? Let me count the ways.
1. It's terminally boring
2. It's European in origin
3. Refer to #s 1 & 2.

Baseball is just a modified version of Cricket. And "American" Football is just a modified version of Rugby. Both are European in origin as well.
To: al_c; Asphalt
I enjoy American football too, but there's so many annoying things about it (especially the idiot dances for simply doing what they're (over)paid to do
I would rather see TO sign a football or Joe Horn talk on his cell phone than see some skinny soccer hippie rip his shirt off....
