Soccer is the most popular sport because its cheap to play. You need a ball. That's it.
This is such a bullshite statement. You can say that about every sport but ice hockey.
Baseball? A stick and a ball
Football? An oblong ball.
Basketball? A ball that bounces and a some type of hoop.
Field Hockey? A stick and a ball.
Rugby? An oblong ball.
Wrestling? NOTHING.
Cricket? A stick and a ball.
Etc.
I don't see anyone in the backyard playing football in full pads.

It seems like a guy with a polisci degree would be able to see the rise of soccer came about during the imperial age of Europe. Oddly enough the former British colonies all have a different sport as their favorite.
America has our version of football.
Australia has Aussie Rules Football
New Zealand is all about that Rugby. South Africa too.
India loves cricket.
It's the places that Spain and France got a hold off that took to soccer.

Actually the most popular sport in Australia is Cricket as well. South Africa is tricky because all of the whites love rugby, but soccer is by far more popular with the blacks (bofana bofana). But yeah its pretty hilarious how soccer is England's most beloved sport, yet not really in any of the former colonies

I agree with all but this, unless you're referring to the male sort. The female ones should be in the stands jumping up and down, doing handstands, etc.

all 'fishing' aside.
We hear less and less about soccer hate with each passing year.
How long until the hold outs just give up bitching about it?

is that better or worse than not watching something and bitching about it...or watching something you know you dislike so you can bitch about it?

Or logging on to an obviously anti-soccer thread and bitching about it; I've not been posting on the soccer thread.
