Is their something wrong with "sissies" in sport? Are you perhaps masking some kind of closet sissyness yourself?
Hmmm, I remember saying Soccer is a sissy sport... but I don't remember attacking you over it.
Listen, I get it. Footies the worlds most popular sport. I can live with that, but remember the mass is not always right.
I'm also willing to bet I've watched tons more soccer then you've watched any MLB or NFL. I understand how the game is played, off sides and legal tackles.
The field is way too big, the action is way too slow. Many say the same about baseball, but only because they don't get why it's worth the wait.
In baseball you have things going on all the time and you wouldn't even notice. Head games, thinking, plans.... When a pitcher is getting ready he might have runners on base to think about. Perhaps a big bat is coming up. He hunkers into the box where he might get hit in the skull or rump by a ball going twice as fast as most of us drive.
Even the fans get into the game, they often will show replays of fans catching balls in the crowd.
I understand your sport, and there is a reason the US doesn't like it. They've got better games. I don't even really care much for Hockey and basketball, and they are played very similar to soccer. I just don't like it, and after watching several hair pulling and slap fights in this sport I really do feel they are sissies. Sorry if I’ve insulted your favorite sport, but why can’t you understand why the US DOESN’T and never will like it? If we don’t get it, we don’t want to get it. We’ve got better things to do than run around tripping each other and having a hair pulling fight.
P-
