Both my kids play select soccer. A year round commitment requiring thousands of dollars and thousands of hours. They each play another sport as well. But they like it, it keeps them occupied and in great shape.
The deadliest boring sport my kids played (thank goodness they’ve both moved on) was baseball/softball. Especially when they were younger and no one knew how to play—it was hours of sheer torture.
Sit down and watch USA vs. England tomorrow if for no other reason than to get your patriotism on. I think you’ll be amazed at the athleticism. Hopefully someone will do a bicycle kick :-)
I can't imagine an American kid not knowing how to play baseball.
