i dont see how my comment was nonsensical at all.  in this country soccer among non immgrant families is generally seen as a childrens game.  thats likely still popular as a childrens game because of the low cost for parents... meaning even the children of poorer families can still participate in sports.  all you need is a ball (or ball like object ie rolls when you kick it) and an open space.


I agree with you.. It's a girls game and a chidlrens game in the U.S... Takes almost as much skill as hop skotch.




That is such a horrible word. Yet, people wont call people out who use words like this. I think people here need to stop thinking outside the cliques they have with each other and stop being biased towards other members. Just because I think soccer doesn't require talent or is a girls game doesn't make me stupid.

But it makes you ignorant, since it does require talent, and thats a fact, actually, the fact that is the most played sport in the world means the competition is way bigger than other sports, and the sport is played mostly by males and thats what everyone wants to see, not female football.

You're not alone. I like many other sports, but i find soccer extremely boring to watch and not fun to play.


Thank you. I'm glad some people agree with me. Sadly, the people with the bigger amount of peoples will win in the end, because they are in the clique.

I like other sports, but soccer to me just doesn't strike as a talent. I didn't want to post this in the soccer thread because I didn't want to upset the fans. So can this thread be here for the people who have a different opinion on soccer, for the americas who know soccer still isn't popular here and will never be. Thanks!

Taylor Swift avatar.

Excuse me? Taylor's talent is light years beyond anyone who has ever played soccer in their life. She is this generations John Lennon.

I wasn't talking about Soccer, I just thought it was ironic you having a Taylor Swift avatar and questioning the talent of anything.

Taylor swift is not very talented, she is very bland and boring and only sounds half-decent because she abuses the auto-tune. Comparing her to John Lennon is an insult.

Listen to her live. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eoMF3TsNWFA OUCH! What would Simon say to that? :P

Anyway, sorry to de-rail the thread but that needed saying.

In terms of international popularity: Soccer > all other sports.

I notice how upset people get when past legends get compared to women.. We live in such a sexist world. I get yelled at when I call soccer for girls.. So what if it was for girls?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Is that all you got? The gender card?

It's not because she's female, it's because she isn't a good singer.

If I dislike 50 Cent does that make me racist?

You know what else is cheap? McDonalds. And I guess you're right. That's only eaten by Africans and poor immigrant families.

Now, this I don't agree with.

What I don't like about soccer are the fans. Gosh they're annoying.

It's ok to play soccer and I really like it once in a while but watching soccer on TV and rooting for a team and then crying if they loose or kill people is just way too much. One must remember it's just a game after all.

I mean even the governement gets involved.

That happens in every major sport, when there's a large enough of concentration of fans to create a mob mentality. In Venezuela, I've seen a couple of people dying in a Baseball match, after a field invasion when the Caracas team lost. Is Baseball to blame for what the fans do?

But many people are racists simply because of soccer. Now that's wrong.

You wanna know what's wrong? Starting a fucking war over a sport.
Sure, it only lasted 4 days, but still, what the fuck?

lol

You know what, it's actually funny.

That's what happens when the governement gets involved.

neither were any of the beatles, but they could play instruments and write songs. except taylor has a pretty voice, but this thread is NOT about Taylor. So please stop this nonsense.

 

 

Anyways. I didn't mean to offend.. I just think soccer is for kids and isn't very talented. Thank you to the people who did agree.

I urge a mod to check this thread out and ban the OP... he is clearly looking to cause a row.

If the topic of this was a game or a console and not a sport... and the arguments were the same from the Op then he would be looking at a ban.


why ban the op?

because it's anit-soccer?

No. If he was supporting his opinion with valid arguments, then there would be nothing to complain about.

"Soccer is for girls and kids" is not a valid argument.

Like kowenicki already said, he's obviously just trying to cause a ruckus. While I wouldn't go as far as banning the OP, I would lock the thread.

No, it makes you ignorant. Which is far worse, because stupidity is something you're born with, while ignorance is something you choose.

Look, it's fine for you to have an opinion, if you justify that opinion. You can't just say "SOCCER SUCKS TAYLOR SWIFT ROCKS AND I HATE YOU ALL AND I CAN HAVE AN OPINION LALALALALALA I CAN'T HEAR YOU!", without people looking down on you.

Again, try playing football, and tell me if it's as simple as kicking a ball across a field. And if it's a girl's game, why is it the most popular sport among men in 90% of the countries of the world?

Your attitude gives a bad name to Americans, because it's the stereotypical American "everything we do is awesome" attitude which I know most people from the USA don't hold. It's fine if you don't like football. Saying it requires no skill is asinine. It's fine if you like Taylor Swift. Saying she is better than the Beatles is asinine. You'd better have some evidence if you want your opinion to be taken seriously.

And for the record, I don't even particularly like football. It's more violent than it has any right to be, and nothing of any interest happens in about 80% of each football match (especially between lousy teams). I really only find it watchable if two fantastic teams are playing, or if a fantastic team is playing a lousy team, or alternatively if I am actively supporting one of the teams. But I don't pretend that it requires no skill. It requires just as much skill as any sport.
