Want to know why soccer if for girls and girliemen?

Now don't get me wrong I love all sports. I've tried to watch this several times. Within 10 minutes, I'm looking for a checkers match.

i have no use for any PRO sports and soccer sucks as i see it as a WORLD Sport rather than an American sport. As a glimpse of my pro sports dislike the last Pro football game i glimpsed was a foot ball game in about 1962 or thereabouts on a Thanksgiving . Think it was Green Bay versus who ever . Unorganized sports or pickup type sports are fine though . -------------------- Any way , i was reading the other day that 'vince mchahon' may start an ' XFL' football league , ----- just making a comment PBinky

Good post Moe.

Believe it or not Pro womens tennis and golf are my favs. I really like those girls when they address a ball. I love the tennis especially when the wind is blowing skirts up. My fav spectator sports for sure.

Yeah, soccer's a kid's game.

Better training for kids in this day and age -

Got that right.

Don't get me wrong. Youth soccer is good. It gives less athletic kids a chance to be on a team. The more less athletic kids play athletics, the better athletes they become.

Soccer requires an extreme level of fitness. It is far less brutal, and thereby less damaging to the players.

I get not liking the sport. I find basketball and baseball to be very boring to watch. I liked playing, but watching them is terrible.

What I don't get is this need to denigrate a sport you don't like. Don't like it? Don't watch it.

I covered that. I gave it a chance, no can do. I do like the hoodlums in the stands beating the crap out of each other. I wish they would make that a pro sport.

So you make a thread about how it is for girls or girliemen? That is my point. Why?

Soccer isn't so much a kids game as it is a poor nations sport. It literally costs nothing to play after you buy a ball.

The NFL video you attached won't play. Here is a monster hit by Cornelius Bennett against Notre Dame in the 80s.

Lol. Hurts looking at it. Try the vid again. It is blocked by the NFL here, but will link to You tube.

The Big Picture is as follows.

The key question to ask is, what sports are a country's BEST ATHLETES playing? In Canada, it's hockey. For most of the world it's football (which we call "soccer").

In the US, our best athletes are mainly African Americans. That is to say the fastest runners, those with the quickest reflexes, and the ones with the best hand/foot - eye coordinatation. THOSE yoots are playing basketball, football, and to a lesser extent, baseball. Essentially no African American yoots play "soccer." The reasons for this are various, and include, few suitable soccer venues in the neighborhoods where African Americans tend to live, the time and money commitment to progress rapidly, and cultural disinterest.

Unless and until African American yoots take a serious interest in soccer, and as long as our BEST ATHLETES generally continue to have better sports options, "we" will continue to suck at soccer.

Fortunately, most Americans could not care less.
