It’s socialism in the form of a sport.

I’ll watch golf (muted) before I’d ever watch soccer.

The real problem in America is that they took dodge ball out of public schools and gave them soccer instead. That’s the thinking shift that took over with the people in charge of teaching most of the kids here.

I suppose that a sport in which you can have children running around in circles for three hours without ever scoring a point is a good way to teach children the futility of competition.

If nobody scores, then everyone wins!

What would the sport equivalent of capitalism and free enterprise be?

There is NOTHING "feminine" nor "metrosexual" about getting kicked hard, in the b*lls, during a soccer match, I'll tell ya what.

(Well maybe in the aftermath of it....)

Socialism is sharing all of the revenues equally like the NFL does. In the English Premier League, bad teams get relegated, and good teams get promoted.
