Soccer is inherently Un-American

Your just not smart enough to follow a soccer game

Dear Lord, British hooligan drunks can follow it. It can't be that hard.

You're.

Soccer fans know this as well, and that's why soccer riots are such a popular distraction at the events. I was reading about a match in the Tremendous Nation of Brazil a few years back. Fans literally decapitated a referee's head off because they didn't like the call.

Once I was with my wife in the town where she grew up in Peru. It happened to be the same day as the World Cup. At one point I was standing on the sidewalk in front of our hotel in the evening, gazing at the ocean. Suddenly I felt the sidewalk literally shaking under me, and I felt an incredible amount of energy coming up from the ground into my body. I thought, WTF is this an earthquake?? I had actually experienced a few tremors in Peru during some of my stays. But it turned out that it was actually a goal and apparently most of the people in the town were stomping their feet and beating on things. A few seconds later I heard the voices of the fans cheering throughout the town and I knew what it was. Freaking insane.

Soccer isn`t chess.

I did too as a kid, but I got tired of getting kicked in the shins. I wasn't good at baseball, football, or basketball. I did play tennis in high school but my hand-eye coordination wasn't very good so I was mediocre at best at that. What I excelled in was swimming as no one I ever raced could beat me. However, I later witnessed some really good swimmers that would have left me in their wake. My only claim to fame, even after some pretty good bumps and bruises, is that I am pretty healthy and active for my age.

I`m 72 years old and I still go to the YMCA once or twice a week to shoot hoops and once in a while the ball goes in the basket. It`s all about moving and being a little bit active.

Soccer is a great sport.

Faking injuries is "off the scale" in soccer but not unique to it. Hockey players fake injuries. Claude LeMieux was notorious for it. One time Claude lay on the ice for minutes as the refs and the fans laughed, no call was made, and eventually Claude got up and skated off on his own power.

Football is not a good sport for youth. It encourages steroid use, causes traumatic life changing injuries, and gets too many young men hooked on pain killers. Clay Matthews SR didn't let Clay Matthews JR play football until Soph year of high school. I am for that, eliminating football below high school. If you aren't a good football prospect with the chance to get a college scholarship, don't play it. Don't ban football, but we need to see the whole "social good equation" here. I know dozens of young men who are ruined by high school football injuries, addicted to pain killers, limping in their 20s, that is NOT GOOD for AMERICA.







Apparently that is the "Spanberger Republican" take, and a reason why they didn't vote for Winsome, who was born in Jamaica...

CTE begins with those knocks in the head at an early age and by now, most responsible parents should know that. Doctors don`t let their kids play football.

I'll be 86 in April, and very active without doing any exercises. I have little time as I'm still working a physical job. However, I hope to get back to light weights and walking this spring, when the spirit (and longer days) usually moves me.

Our YMCA has all of the latest exercising machines like treadmills and weights, but that stuff bores the hell out of me in 5 minutes..or less. I get a lot of running by chasing down my missed shots which are plentiful.

A lot of stadium sports are outlets for mass insanity. Same with music concerts.

We played it during gym in the 5th and 6th grade. In the 7th we advanced to flag football.

That was one thing I really loved about the pandemic. No sports, especially football! I live near Pittsburgh and it almost made me cream my jeans to see them "inerrant" Stillers fans suffer.

Same year that baseball went political, and I quit watching.

Soccer is the metric system of sports. The professionals are crybabies who fake injuries and just generally act gay as a required part of the sport.

While we should encourage this effeminate sport in the rest of the world in order to weaken them, we should not look at its spread into our great nation as anything other than an embodiment of failure.

It is a boring game with Budlite written all over it. The sport should be boycotted throughout our land and perhaps banned for the good of the children. Maybe let girls play as they seem more dogged.

American boys should grow up playing football for toughness and baseball for hand eye coordination. I suppose basketball should be there as well. Soccer...never. It is for foreigners.

Let's face it....Any sport that can go for 90 minutes and end in a 0-0 tie is, well, just odd.

On average, approximately 20-30% of professional soccer matches end in a tie.

Americans want a winner at the end of a contest and we don't even like NFL games ending in a tie.

You are an idiot. Tens of millions of American children play soccer.

You wouldnt last 5 minutes in a soccer game. Its the most popular game in the world.

I thought "grab ass" was.

Anything that gets butts off couches and doing something healthy is a good thing. Leave soccer alone.

The one match I attended, I'd guess that everyone attending was at least halfway sauced when they arrived, and most of what I observed in my vicinity was a bunch of Brits screaming "F**K YOU" over and over, while displaying the English version of the one-finger salute. Literally.

I couldn't have guessed the total of the IQ's of any ten people in arm's length, but it might have added up to any three Americans I knew. We went because the son of my hosts was a minor league coach. His passion for the game was admirable but not intellectually displayed.

Soccer is worse for the head, the player literally use the heads to hit the ball around.

And soccer players don't wear helmets like they do with real football.

It's more an expression of nationalism.

Italy has missed THE PAST 2 WORLD CUPS and have to win a playoff next month to qualify

That’s an entire career gone for most players
