Whiny girly men?
That would be American Football where they wear butt hugging spandex and shoulder pads, makeup on their faces, have to wear helmets to protect their looks, and carry little towelettes to keep their fingernails clean.
Soccer is played in EVERY country worldwide, it’s not a “socialist” sport. In fact, in soccer, they have competitive leagues where if you come bottom of the league there are consequences - you get relegated, Unlike American football that practices socialism through draft pick equalisation and not keeping score.
That’s right, American Football doesn’t keep score, no team ever gets demoted, you can even win their “World Championship” after having a losing season!
Oh, and ever wondered how you can be WORLD Champions of the NATIONAL Football League ???
American Football is a scam, it’s an entertainment, not a sport.
Excuse me, but I believe the entire point of spectator sports is to be entertaining. You can claim by some twisted definition that leagues that don't kick out bad teams don’t play a real sport. But what you will never be able to claim with a strait face is that soccer is entertainment. It’s just not, unless watching hooligans brawl is your idea of entertainment.
For some reason large masses of Europeans, Asians, and Latins like to sing in unison for ninety some minutes while absolutely nothing happens in front of them. The fact that the entire rest of the world loves this ridiculously slow and eventless game, and we don’t, is proof positive that we’ve got something on them. It’s part of the reason people wish to leave their homeland and come here.
I’ve given this sport a chance. It’s regularity on a Fox channel I get. I sometimes leave it on when I’m doing other things to see if something happens. Once I recall a game, between Germany and Italy, I believe in the World Cup. One or the other team actually scored a late goal to win the game. A rare event like that probably happens once a year or so worldwide.
I saw some English league game the other day where the play-by-play guy mentioned that one of the teams had tied something like 17 out of 21 games this season, most of them scoreless ties. And American football isn’t a sport?
