You don't have to put down one sport to elevate another.
“You don’t have to put down one sport to elevate another.”
You’re too sensitive. I didn’t try to elevate anything. I don’t like soccer, I don’t like the culture that supports it, (in general), and I resent constantly being told what a great sport soccer is. Since I was in school in the 1970s, the teachers always told us how great soccer was. It was as if, since Europeans liked it, and Europeans were so cultured, Americans who didn’t like soccer must be very uncultured, and uncool.
The metric system and soccer. Two things that were constantly presented to Americans, and two things we completely rejected. (Ok, so the metric system is useful, I’ll give you that).
You can enjoy soccer, I have no problem with that, but I won’t, ever.
BTW, The New York Yankees ARE the world champion of baseball, if you can find another team to beat them, let me know.
The New Orleans Saints ARE the world champion of football, if you can find another team to beat them, let me know.
Either the Boston Celtics or the Los Angeles Lakers will be the world champion of basketball, if you can find another team to beat them...
