I don't understand rugby, I could understand and appreicate if was the world's most popular sport. I don't understand cricket, but I could see if the world was into it. Hell, I could understand if world' most popular sport was polo, (especially considering how niggas love to wear the clothes,) but, (in an Iverson "practice," voice,) Soccer?
I understand that Pele did ill shit with a soccer ball, it's cool to watch. As the soccer Stans are going to point out, I understand for some fucking reason the World's Cup is the most viewed sporting event and soccer is the world's most widely played game. Hell, I can understand why kids enjoy playing it, what can be more fun than running around and kicking a ball and that's the thing and it hit's to the core of wackness that is soccer, it's grown men running around kicking a ball, IN A LOW SCORING GAME! Soccer fan will argue that we Americans (and the few sensible countries in the world don't embrace this bullshit,) as being wack, but Americans not liking soccer doesn't prove we're wack, it proves how fucking simple and easily entertained the rest of the world is. If you ask me, soccer is a "dumb downed," sport.
However, America did have it's equivalent to soccer, it was basketball before the shot clock. Before the shot clock, a team would get a basket, then pass the ball around, (or the team would foul to get the ball back,) this would go on until the other team stole the ball, they would score and did the same thing. The NBA (in their inifinite wisdom,) saw how weak this was and instituted the twenty-four second shot clock which dramtically increased scoring. In order for Americans to embrace soccer the field would have to be cut in half to increase scoring opportunities.
Also, there's those tacky ass ads emblazoned across the front of the jerseys like it's the name of the team and the acceptance of racism among soccer fanas. If there's are racial epithet being hurled at player from an opposing team, the fans from the home team might whoop his ass. So Stan Stan, explain to me and other Americans why we should embrace this bullshit sport?
