Yeah, I agree. There’s an inherently fruity vibe coming off of a lot of them. Can’t stand the game, never could, though my wife, who is British, enjoys the big games - but only if Britain’s playing.
I hate the game as well. When the kids were young, everyone was doing the soccer thing....I insisted on baseball for them. It felt like way back when Canada went with the socialist European metric system rather than staying with our American friends and neighbors. To me, soccer is Europe, baseball is America!
