"please don't just say "soccer sux, its so gay."

I don't have to, you already have. One thing is for sure with OUR American sports....People are not stabbed, beaten to death, or crushed to death!!!! The sport simply will never match the popularity of Football, Baseball or Basketball. We have too many years and years of sports stars and legends. And your comment about "medicinally enhanced guys" is laughable. Oh, and soccer is steroid free?? Yeah right!! You belong in England, I'm sure they would appreciate your enthusiasm for such a sucky and gay sport over there!!

You think a sport is "gay" because people are beaten over the outcome of a game, or who they support? I can understand calling it dangerous, and saying you don't want a part in it because of what happens after the games, but who said I condone that anyway? I'm talking about the game itself. I also never said anything about thinking that soccer will be popular here. I can see that it won't ever meet the level of American football, where good plays are rewarded with pats on the butt. I re-read my post, and I failed to see where I implied that soccer was steroid free. I believe I mentioned baseball as an example, because that's where a lot of steroid publicity comes from. Steroids are in every sport, whether we hear about them or not. There. I admit that some soccer players take steroids. I only wish I could go to England. That's a country where they appreciate REAL sports.
