| StanGable said: I found it accurate and well written. Soccer is a worthless sport. I was born and raised in Mexico and was a soccer fanatic. However, after moving to the States, finding out what school spirit meant (because outside of this country, no fucking place in the world has any clue what school spirit is and it is essential to love the sport and then appreciate the NFL) and getting to truly understand American Football I found out that it is way better than soccer. Soccer is just a pointless sport where the same 4 teams in the world always win and its more about luck than precision. In American Football, you have to be a total badass to make plays happen and if you can pull it off and not loose the ball after being hit, then you truly are a badass. In soccer all they do is cry and play to be drama actors pretending they got hurt after being pushed a little. So in conclusion: If you haven't lived the American way of life, immerse yourself in the culture and give American Football the opportunity of understanding, you will never know why American feels the way they do about soccer and why it sucks. |
OK, let me know if I understood, so just because you don't like football then it's automatically a fact that football sucks? (when it's by far the most popular sport in the world and that IS a fact, so that means the most percentage of people think football is the best sport in the world).
And maybe there's a reason that american football is only popular in the US, maybe it's that people of other countries get bored with it (I know I do, for me it's the second most boring sport ever, after baseball). I don't know why you'd need an insight on a culture to enjoy a sport. I love the English Premier League and I've never been to England and felt the "culture". I love F1 since I was 9 and there has never been a race in my country since before that. What the hell does have culture to do with the enjoyment a sport is able to provide?
