Do I think baseball is boring? Yes. Do I think golf is boring? Yes. Do I slam those who watch it? No.

Do baseball and golf fans write editorials criticizing people who are not fans of the sport? No. Do they criticize and belittle people who dont like the sport? No. Do they question the mental capacity and "culture" of those that don't like the sports? No.

Do soccer fans do all of the above and more? Yes.

Probably because their sports don't get attacked constantly. I'd bet you anything they would if people kept saying 'baseball sucks,' 'what a boring game it is,' etc.

Just making a point, friend.

Since you brought it up, please tell me where I, a soccer fan, am "criticizing people who are not fans of the sport," criticizing and belittling "people who dont like the sport," and questioning "the mental capacity and 'culture' of those that don't like the sports."
