I really hope this is just you stirring the pot, bc if you actually mean this then it's one of the most ignorant things ever posted on this board... And avatar and jboss post here.Soccer is what you play when you aren’t athletic enough to play a real sport.
As a wartime disabled Vet, I am far from being a communist or a wimp, and at least I can spell.Commiunist beta "male" wimp.
Why watch at all? Go outside and get some exercise. Kick the ole soccer ball around a bit.How about for the fact that it’s a freaking snooze fest? If I’m forced to watch a game with that style of play, I’d rather watch hockey.
Baseball can also be a snooze fest but at least it’s an American snooze fest.
Like every American boy raised in the 80’s, I played for 3 years. It’s a lot more fun to play than to watch.Why watch at all? Go outside and get some exercise. Kick the ole soccer ball around a bit.
...or two flies fornicate.
Seriously, I remember when it first became a high school sport and all the old coaches referred to it as a "communist" sport! By itself, the game provides a lot of cardiovascular exercise and skill development and it was always a good unit in PE. I can't say I'm enamored with it. International fans are a turn off for me, but some of the same can be said for US fans of the traditional sports as well. I usually only watch it when we eat at the local Mexican restaurant.
What does political ideology have to do with the sport?Yep....it's a socialist and communist sport. Boring as hell....about as exciting as a Doug Nussmeier offense!

Political ideology is relevant only when someone does not like your post. Then you are a "communist" or even worse, a "wimp."What does political ideology have to do with the sport?
Well I guess you’re right if you’re saying basically every other country on Earth is socialist or communist. Because it’s popular in basically every other country on Earth.I'm referring to the countries where it's popular.
Wouldn’t Big 12 football be more accurately described as the stereotypical “communist” sport? Nobody tries half the game and they still get touchdowns handed out like Halloween candy.Well, in soccer, you work extremely hard for 90 minutes(plus an arbitrary number of additional minutes decided on by the politburo), only to gain very few points, typically either winning by a very small margin, or losing by a very small margin...then politely shake hands with the opponent.
On the other hand, American capitalist football often ends in a complete rout, with the winner scoring 30-40 points in just 60 minutes, mercilessly crushing weaker teams, with numerous players being ejected for over the top aggression...then the players often meet up at a gentleman's club.
It's pretty clear cut.
No pee wee sports are...where the participation trophy is the same size as all the other trophiesWouldn’t Big 12 football be more accurately described as the stereotypical “communist” sport? Nobody tries half the game and they still get touchdowns handed out like Halloween candy.
This is true.Well I guess you’re right if you’re saying basically every other country on Earth is socialist or communist.
as is most games or ALL games. Golf and bowling are much fun. Not to watchLike every American boy raised in the 80’s, I played for 3 years. It’s a lot more fun to play than to watch.
I was also a kid of the 80's but I remember it being the kids that played soccer were made to by there moms who didn't want them to get hurt playing football because football was to rough! This is just my memory of soccer and why it was played other than PE at school.

Baseball IS a snooze fest. Period. Full stop. Don't care where it's from. "oh, it's drizzling.. STOP! cover the dirt part of the field!!! can't get mud on my knickers"
