Vanity - Shouldn't we ban Soccer?

[theyreallthesame]

If 27 people were killed due to a soccer event and/or ruling, shouldn't there be a ban on the game? Oh wait, Soccer balls don't kill people, people kill people.

No, but I’m all for banning multiple posts of threads!!!

If you ban soccer then people will die for no reason.

[Vendome]

Don’t know but, you should post it 3 or 4 times....

[bigheadfred]

Yes, but my premise is applicable to the stupid responses our own government comes up to situations like these.

There have been an estimated 54,559,615 abortions since the Supreme Court handed down its 1973 Roe vs. Wade decision allowing virtually unlimited abortions.

Sex preceded and lead to each and every one of those pregnancies, ultimately resulting in the brutal killing of those babies.

A few years ago, Rush Limbaugh, concerns about the dangers posed to children by soccer, started an organization called Keep Our Own Kids Safe (KOOKS). The group's immediate goal was to make the game safer, and they began by pushing for a ban on head shots. However, he frankly admitted that its ultimate goal was to ban the sport altogether. Rush said he expected opposition from Addidas, Nike, Manchester United, and other outfits that he labeled Big Soccer.

I haven't heard of any activity from KOOKS for several years, so Big Soccer must have succeeded in stymieing its efforts.

I have an acquaintance from Colombia...he has a long time foot injury. Has a drooped foot from a soccer injury and wears a little brace. People get soccer injuries all the time.

But if we can save one life, isn’t worth the try...
