Dear John: When will the US understand that the universal sport of soccer cannot exist in our country? It is a poor man’s sport where no equipment is needed, only a ball and a field in which to kick it.
It cannot survive in the US for three reasons: Boring, boring, boring.
The most excitement is among the spectators who burn or stampede the stadiums or kill the goalie or referee — which is where the term “fan” was derived: “Fanatic.”

No. Soccer is bulls*si*it.
Funny, I share the sentiment.
To top it off this most boring (next to curling) “sport” gives you brain damage both from heading the ball and from watching the “sport”.
Who cares? Of course that’s it in a nutshell.
One of my sons and a couple of grandsons love it.

Soccer does exist and will continue to exist. And yes, the ‘I hate soccer’ people will continue to bit** and whine.
Sitting at soccer match right now. Eating sunflower seeds and surfing FR.
Aren’t most soccer players illegal aliens from Mexico and central America. Americans do not play soccer.
But never understood the hostility towards soccer. People have the right to not watch it but let it exist for those who do.
I do think soccer is boring compared to American football. They hardly ever score (in soccer)! But if others like it, let them watch it. Also, most people that like soccer like also to drink beer so that is one thing they have going for them.
Seems to be a high correlation between the mainlining of LGTB yada yada and the rise of popularity of soccer.
It will continue the upward trajectory of participation, but the U.S. Sadly won’t be competitive until we stop with all the silly rules meant to try and protect the kids.
Don’t knock curling, laddie!
It is a great past time for the participant who has a designated driver to take them home after the game!
3rd world kickball
Rugby!!!!!!
Soccer a gentlemen’s watched by hooligans!
Rugby a hooligan’s game watched by gentlemen!
My personal battle cry!
“Ruck over them!”
Obviously your son is “involved.” Here in the Northeast soccer mom usually means single mother. You can drop your kid off at soccer and go the store, and be back to see enough of the game it for it to count.
Soccer is like Chimp Smith getting in a bitch slap fight with Anderson Pooper. Pathetic. It is a sport like playing bathroom battleship. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6xLmJVEByA

What, not riveted by the action on the field?
Um...or so I've been told...(hic!)
