I've been puzzled for a long time about this hatred of soccer and some other sports as well, which is probably why I tend to interpret and over-interpret this phenomenon. I mean what is there to hate? It's all a spectacle and as a spectacle professional wrestling is (or at least was before it went prime time,) is great theater. I can dig them all and not long ago I even found myself fascinated by some Strongest Man in The Universe contest shown at my local tavern every week on some cable channel with lumberjacks carrying odd shape boulders and then attempting to toss them over some obstacle. Sport? Who cares, it's a freaking drama!

But futbol, man? If they're really sports fans, they don't know what they're missing. There is a good reason why the world loves it. Go find out what it is and then decide, is my advice to them.

But we don't want to be the rest of the world.

We love hating a sport that everyone loves, conflict is in our everyday lives you can hear it on every radio talk show in the nation.

I'm not even sure a 'Tiger Woods' figure could get us to like soccer. Winning the World Cup mike spark some interest but then it is back to NFL..we love all kinds of sports Stanley Cup, NBA Finals, Wimbleton, Tour of France, World Series, Augusta National Masters, Indy 500, Daytona.

Not just impoverished nations playing soccer.

That is the real agenda here that the liberals want to make us euqal with Costa Rica when we are clearly not.
