Chris, as I am sure that you expected this, I will deliver. You are a complete and total babbling lunatic. Americans hate soccer for one, and one reason only: The tie. Well, they might also hate it because it is the only sport played in the US (aside from basketball, which Americans should hate) that does not have any fat people on the field. I personally love sports like baseball, football and golf, where even the borderline obese are allowed to play a role, but the average American fatass (is that one word? I am never sure) cannot stand to see too many fit people in one room at a time, as it makes them uneasy. So once the nuclear scientist figure out how to eliminate the tie and create some drug that give fat people endurance, soccer will be not only the most-watched sport in the world, but in the U.S. also.
Christopher the Pyro commented
Ahh I see your back from one of those “war-torn” countries 
Christine the Lioness added
I personally have seen fat people play soccer… not well, but they did play. It wasn’t a pretty sight.
Christopher the Pyro added
Maybe the fat thing is ture.. I think watching marathons is pretty fucking boring also.. and swimming.. and diving..
Christopher the Pyro up'n wrote this
Rob is right about the tie.. it’s only a sport if somebody wins…
Christopher the Pyro chimed in with
This is a test
Christine the Lioness scribbled
Marathons are boring… yet you got up at 4am every morning to fucking watch Lance Armstrong and a bunch of other people bike eight zillion miles across Europe in the Tour de France. I mean… I agree… I am bored after two seconds of a marathon… or Nascar… or any other thing where we watch people do “laps” of the same shit… but how is bicycling any different?
aJ the Zen Master asserted
Can you believe scientists conducted a study to determine that polar bears are left handed?
That’s where your tax dollars are going 
Christine the Lioness spake, and sayeth
That’s excellent news. Because I’m really hoping to get a grant to do a study and find out if more people visit blogs at night or in the morning. It will be very beneficial for the world to know this. I think a couple mill will be enough… the government can go ahead and send me a check or money order.
Christopher the Pyro asserted
hahah… ya good idea.
Haas the Addict asserted
I would say night but wtf will wait for your reports on that one Christine. Hey btw is there any funding for double checking these studies… I would like a piece of that action . Considering they have already spent tax dollars they might as well be certian of the study results.
Christine the Lioness hunt n' pecked this
With an issue as important as this, I’m sure we will need to hire someone to double check the facts… after all, the media is very good about double-checking before they release news that the trapped miners are alive… and our CIA likes to double-check facts before telling the President that weapons of mass destruction have definitely been found in Iraq. I’d hate to be the first one to (1) waste money, or (2) jump the gun and report something that isn’t true.
No tax dollars where used in that study. It was all done on time off.
I wish people would have a better understading of what science is and
how it works.
Christine the Lioness spake, and sayeth
And I wish people had a better understanding of spelling and grammar, but I don’t think that’s going to happen any time soon either.
Christopher the Pyro added
Not with people like you fucking it up all the time Christine.
Matt the Groupie stated
It’s almost as ridiculous as NASA spending millions and millions of dollars on a pen that would write in space, and the Russians solved the problem by using a pencil…
But I guess that’s of little interest to you, since those bloody Russians probably enjoy “soccer”, right?
I enjoy watching football (it’s correct name, not fookin’ soccer) now and then, but the only reason Americans think it’s boring is because you’re shit at it. For chrissakes, your four major sports, in which you place the title of World Champion on the best team each year are barely played anywhere else in the world…
But what do I know… I think cricket is exciting (for the Americans reading, that’s the cultured/skilled version of baseball, which incidentally is yawntastic).
Christopher the Pyro spake, and sayeth
Ya.. know.. if Americans decide to change a name of a sport from football to soccer then it is then soccer not football.. afterall we are the kings of maniplulative marketing. I don’t think we are that bad at soccer anymore either, it’s only a matter of time before we are the best in the world at this sport also..we just have a good infrastrure for excelling at sports. I think basically our univeristy system eventually creates the best athletes in sports… and oh by the way.. maybe you havn’t checked the latest FIFA rankings…

Rob the Soldier commented
Hey guys, you might be interested in this article. It is about the supposed -and totally false- story that NASA spent million on the space pen. http://www.snopes.com/business/genius/spacepen.asp Anyone else who is interested in the validity of many of the urban legends that are thrown around as common knowledge will find that this site is a great place to start their quest for knowledge, and it won’t cost them any tax dollars at all; much like the development of the space pen.
Christopher the Pyro penned this
Good point Rob.
Christine the Lioness remarked
Dammit… I really wanted to believe that space pen story… I thought Finally! Something worthwhile to spend tax dollars on.
eric the Lil' Devil remarked
soccer? are you fucking joking? listen, if i wanted to watch an event where there are droughts in scoring that may last weeks i’ll go to a local dive bar and follow around the fattest slob and watch him approach drunk fat chicks! sure there’s an off chance he’ll actually find a helen keller look-alike and score!
Keith the Director spake, and sayeth
Hey to all those who did give a shit when this was popular…I too played soccer in high school, and play when i can now. i even still like to watch the world cup, and english premier league. But to say its the most exciting is ri-god-damn-diculous! i agree with some points I hate the tie as well, but can deal with it. Yes to not too many fat ppl can play it (well) I played hockey growing up, in college, and still play now. And i find it hard to compare anything to the intensity, and unpredictability of the NHL playoffs!
Christine the Lioness scribbled
Sorry Keith… too bad only the Canadians agree with you. If you don’t play football or hoops, you ain’t shit in this country.
Christopher the Pyro penned this
lol.. omg… giving the beat down.. of course keith is use to this.. eric and I have given him shit about this a million times
Christine the Lioness spake, and sayeth
And I “find it hard to compare anything to the intensity, and unpredictablilty” of dealing with Christopher… that doesn’t mean I think it would make a good sport. Sorry, Keith…
Keith the Director spake, and sayeth
Yeah i’ve received too much shit over the years from too many ppl lazy enough to appreciate the game of hockey :\”> The only reason it gets dissed in the us is ppl don’t understand it b/c they can’t go out an play it to learn it. It’s too complicated for the simple minded indiviuals. Thats why hoops appeals to the lowest common denomenator. Any poor, dumbass can go out and play it. If u can walk u can play basketball…it’s the easiest damn sport to play. It takes absolutely no brain power and barely any team organization (i.e. i give you the entire floating joke a of the nba. There are so many one man teams its fucking pathetic. As is the fact there is no contact. if you flick someone u get a foul and they get to shoot 2 free throws. And shit the ultimate lowlight…if your double teamed and stuck with no shot or outlet pass you simply can call a time out and start over. That shit isn’t gonna fly in hockey at all. if your gonna get hit you are gonna get fucking hit regardless. there is no timeout saftey valve to call if your stuck in the corner boards or about to get drilled or can’t simply make a pass to one of the other 4 guys on your team. Any sport where you can come right out of high school and play is wack. At least in hockey you have to play at the junior level which is the nhl’s breeding ground and very similar. Or play in college. The nba is a waste of time an money, and you would have to pay me to even watch that shit on tv let alone take time out of my life to actually go to a game live. I’d rather watch tennis than basketball and I hate watching tennis!
Keith the Director mentioned
let me also elaborate for the record…the reason why hockey is so under appreciated b/c it’s too difficult and takes the most skill to play out of the 4 major sports. There is no other sport in this universe that requires a pre-requisite to be able to even play the game at the meekest level. If you cannot stand let alone be able to skate efficeiently on a 1/8 wide piece of stainless steel on ice stopping on a dime, turning without losing speed or falling…guess what ladies and gentlemen you can’t fucking play in the game at all. Not even a recreational pick-up game would allow you to play. Now combine that with necessary skills, needing excellent hand-eye coordination to try and catch a pass and or make a pass, and on top of that be able to shoot at a 4′x6′ goal with a person in front of it actually blocking 90-95% of that 4′x6′ net and “try” to score. I have played every sport on this earth witht the exception of cricket, celtic games, and unless some 3rd world country has shit no one knows about, and nothing compares to the skills and time needed to play and excell at hockey. Lacrosse ranks up there in difficulty as well, but once again if you have the pre-conceived ability to walk and run it’s just like the rest.
Christopher the Pyro chimed in with
I don’t know.. I think Golf is much harder the hockey.. requiring you to learn how to skate.. really isn’t any different then knowing how to dribble.. or run backwards in football.. or ride a horse in horse racing… or swim in swimming.. to actually excel at any sport you have to be able to do something good.. I don’t know.. you didn’t sell me keith.
Keith the Director stated
how can u say running backwards is a skill. a monkey can do it. i know I’ve seen mentally challenged individuals run backwards..it’s no skill. dribbling the ball is no skill once again M.R. individuals learn how to dribble. but they can’t skate. A 4 yr old can dribble a ball without prior knowledge. yes i agree u have to do something good to excel but you can work on an facet of any sport while at practice, but you cannot practice hockey until you an skate. You can practice baseball, fotball, and basketball from the time can walk. But if you can’t skate at all you cannot practice the other fundamentals of the sport. I can go out and practice dribbling anytime and god forbid if i had to practice running backwards I would quit sport altogether if i had to work on running and direction.
Christopher the Pyro uttered
Come on man.. it’s not like fucking ice skating is hard.. havn’t you seen all the faggots on the olympics doing a find job at it..?
Keith the Director added
*Bah* I’ve been debating this issue with you for years, and I know its a waste of my time to go any further with you. So I pose this can u skate effeciently enough to go to an ice rink right now and play a game of hockey? Or would you be more comfortable going down to a local park and hooping it up with some ppl. NOW THINK about the question…I DIDN’T SAY what would you rather do? I said based on your skills what do you feel comfortable doing? Also I do agree that golf is very compicated and a hard game to aquire skills and succeed at.
eric the Lil' Devil chimed in with
LISTEN UP FELLA’S EVERY FUCKING SPORT IS HARD EVERY ONE REQUIRES SKILL THIS ARGUMENT COMES DOWN TO WHICH SPORTS HAVE THE BEST ATHLETES, HOW MANY HOCKEY PLAYERS EVER PLAYED TWO PRO SPORTS? RIGHT AND SOCCER PLAYERS, THOSE PUSSIES WOULD NEVER PLAY FOOTBALL BUT BO, DEION, LOOK AT ALOT OF THE RECEIVERS AND TE’S THAT PLAYED HOOPS IN COLLEGE, HOCKEY IS DIFFICULT, SOCCER IS A BITCH, BUT THEY WILL NEVER BE ON THE SAME LEVEL AS FOOTBALL OR BASEBALL
Christopher the Pyro hunt n' pecked this
I think you are really overstating the difficulty of skating.. here’s the gig. Hockey is a dying sport because there isn’t ice in most of the country most of the time. It costs a bunch of money.. it’ really not very easy to watch unless you have an HD TV because the fucking puck is so small.. and mostly the worst athletes play it.. (no offense keith, your a good athlete, but your not seeing Lavaar play hockey).
Keith the Director quibbed this
yeah but deon sucked at baseball and so did jordan. they should have stuck with what they were good at. Bo was the only person who I know that could play both affectively at the pro level. I agree that sports are difficult to play and require skills, but I just don’t think, and no one will convince me otherwise that it takes as much or more skill to play basketball or football than it does hockey. football by most standards is one dimensional now. You don’t see any 2 way players, or players playing at multiple positions. You learn one position and thats it (i.e. 1 dimensional). You need to play both offense and defense in hockey and we all know defense doesn’t exist in basketball which is why i didn’t mention it! Also there was once a study conducted on what the hardest thing to do in any sport was hit a moving (fastpitch) baseball. You have less than 3 seconds to decide what type of pitch it is, where its going, and if it’s going in the strike zone, then swing and make good contact.
Keith the Director remarked
you don’t need HD to see the puck I’ve been watchng hockey for years before hd and fox existed, and the rest of the world was watching it fine on black and white tvs back in the day. But I see you point, and it is dying for many reasons, yes you hit a couple it is expensive so it deters a lot of parents from letting theor kids play, and yes the ice is also an issue in the summer for most places who once again don’t want to foot the bill to keep ice up all year. And the lack of premier american athletes playing in the nhl is a factor. I think though if college hockey got more airtime than its versin of march madness ppl might have more respect for it but that will never happen. I’ve accepted that fact and I know it will never compare with the popularity of football baseball, and unfortunately basketball. It’s just the way of things. It wasn’t ever an american sport so we never accepted it into our culture. It was and never will be popular with the general public b/c they don’t get teh chance to experience it for themselves. If more ppl were to try and lay it they would be more of a fan and more liely to watch it. Just like soccer…noone but soccer players watch soccer. Oh and than for th ecompliment bro I appreciate it!

Maybe Americans arn’t so bored with soccer anymore… hrmm?
The United States’ 3-0 loss to the Czech Republic was watched by 2.14 million households, the most to see a soccer game on ESPN2.
Monday’s match received a 2.4 cable rating. It was the most-watched program on the network. No so shabby considering it was in the middle of the word day and it was group play….

James the Virgin said this
LMFAOOOO!!!
Football/soccer is by FAR the most exciting sport in the world, its no wonder that its the most watched/important/richest/popular/loved/discussed sport on the planet.
And LMFAO @ you thinking that “other countries have no other choice”. They have rugby, basketball, volleyball, handball, baseball, cricket, F1, Australian football and a shitload of other sports and soccer still wins BY FAR. Also all american sports are widely available (The NFL even built a entire NFL Europe league that failed miserably because no one in Europe wanted to watch pussified rugby), yet STILL soccer wins the most eyeballs. Face it FOOTBALL >>>> all american sports.
James the Virgin scribbled
BTW, LMFAO @ you thinking Canadians hate soccer like threatened Americans. Go to a Toronto FC game and ask the 20,000 screaming fans how much they “hate soccer”. LMFAOOOO!!!! 
ProphetJoe the Irreverent spake, and sayeth
Wow… 20 thousand fans! Really???
In my little town of 100,000 people, we still fill the stadium with 70,000+ fans for a lousy college football game… I guess Toronto isn’t as soccer crazy as you think, James.
I have nothing against soccer. I loved Pele back when soccer was not big in the US. Unfortunately, soccer *seems* to headed toward baseball, basketball and football, etc. — a bunch of over-paid and over-marketed athletes who have passed their prime… can you say Beckham?
Christine the Lioness spake, and sayeth
If we’re touting the popularity of soccer among Canadians, I think we’ve picked the wrong sport. From my experience, hockey is much closer to the Canadian heart than soccer… just like football (and yes, the general term refers to American Football) is to Americans.
BTW, McGill University (speaking of Canada) is credited with playing the first ‘real’ football game (in which the ball could be carried, setting it apart from the Rugby-esque versions) against Harvard, so at least at one time, Canadians (well, at least those in Quebec) were enthusiastic about our “pussified game” too.
I don’t think you can possibly have a concept, James, of how popular football is in the U.S. (NCAA and NFL) until you’ve been here long enough to understand how ingrained it is in our culture. It’s very similar, I’ve found, to how hockey permeates Canadian culture.
And again, there’s nothing wrong with soccer but if the majority of Americans are more enthusiastic about football than soccer, there might actually be a reason for it.
Cesar the Virgin up'n wrote this
i don’t think that James the Virgin meant to say that soccer was the most popular sport in canada, he just said that it was popular but not the most popular sport there.
And to those who think that soccer is only popular because their isn’t many sport to choice, pardon my french but are you an idiot.
There are many sport to choice in europe and you can also see the american sport like basketball, american football and baseball but not many poeple like those sport.
Well basketball is pretty popular in europe but not in the same league as soccer.
