Face it. Soccer sucks.

So you don't like soccer, that's fine, you are entitled to your opinion, but the statistics don't support your premise.

Soccer is the most popular sport in the World. It is apolitical, it is not "socialist" or fascist" or "Republican" or "communist". It transcends politics and pre-dates most political ideologies.

Over 200 countries compete against each other at at national level for "The Word Cup". There are tens of thousands of professional teams worldwide, there is international club competition, there are hundreds of domestic professional leagues, there are more professional soccer matches every day of the year than there are game in an entire NFL season.

there are at least three Dedicated , full time soccer channels on US TV, plus ESPN carries extensive soccer coverage including all of the Champions' League from Europe.

So the product is obviously popular and is growing in popularity.

So how do you think that is happening if the product sucks?

The real question is why do you feel the need to rail against it when you clearly have no interest in, or knowledge of, the game? Especially when the claims you make are non-specific, patently ludicrous, and emotionally charged.

Why don't you just live and let live. it's a free country, we are allowed the pursuit of happiness.
