To: Right Wing Assault

Soccer's unpredictability means that the better team is less likely to win than in other sports. In other words, soccer punishes the strong and lifts the downtrodden. What perfect social justice!

If unpredictability makes sports more interesting, why don't we just put the players from the two teams in a hat and pick sides at random?

Why do you think there are soccer leagues for 5 year old girls?

It's a self-esteem sport.

"Oh look, my little Shitney kicked the ball!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Never mind that she kicked it out of bounds or to an opposing player ... EVERYONE in soccer gets to kick the ball in some random direction. And really, isn't that all that matters?
