I don't really get the extreme soccer hate/fear. Yes, there are pussies who flop. A lot. Yes, some of the American fans are hipster fags and/or guys named Caleb who drive Subarus and will probably have one of those baby carrier things If they don't already.
Every sport has annoying aspects. Beisbol is just flatout fucking boring. I don't think I've set through a full baseball game in way over ten yrs.
Basketball has tons of selfish prima donnas, can be really lame, and scoring is still way down from the 80's, & college basketball is horrible.
Football is still pretty exciting, but who knows how it will be in 15 years with all the head injuries. Plus every year it becomes more like some corporate concept some a******s in suits planned.
Every sport has its drawbacks.
