I don't know when he said it, but him saying "American Sports Rewards Losers" is a bunch of bullshite.

Let's play Europe in basketball, baseball, American football, track and field, hockey, and so on, and see how they do.

They're good a soccer over there and have a long tradition. Good for the eurofags.

We don’t let our kids join soccer academies as 8 year olds where all they do is 4 hours of school and 12 of soccer a day. All the greats come from those academies, including Messi. Child labor laws here. We will never be good in soccer unless we start there.

We literally invented participation trophies, and are barely reversing that mentality now that those kids are growing. We made hard coaching synonymous with child abuse. Our pro athletes talk about how they would knock out grown coaches if they raise their voices or call them a bad word. We are soft.

As I pointed out, we are better than them in almost every sport besides soccer. So yeah, I do wonder why.

No..we just celebrate anything even decent in Men's Soccer.

We know it is very unliked in America as a whole, and our best athletes are def joining other sports..if the athletes like Jordan, Lebron, Jefferson, Harvin, J Jones, Moreno, Jerry Rice, Randy Moss, Derrick Brooks, The Honey Badger, etc played soccer their whole life, we would kill everyone..it would not even be remotely close at all. We would destory everyone very easily.

We don't reward losers in our first tier of sports. O wait, we do. Either way, soccer is like 5th tier behind football, basketball, baseball, and hockey.

“Rewards losers”


This means he cannot be honored in any way.

Go home and get better.

That’s a two week old comment, and Poch was talking about the lack of relegation in US pro leagues and the incentivizing of sucking through our draft system.

I like Mo, but we don't have developmental leagues available for the youngens that match Europe...

EPL is the SEC of soccer..... Iron sharpens Iron....

Home school travel baseball is where it's at. How else do you think little Braxtyn is going to get to the show?

I would love to see relegation in both college and professional sports. No one loves crapping on the Euros more than I do, but this is something they have right.

Think about college football with this system in-place. You go a couple of seasons without being competitive in the CFP eligible league, someone else gets their shot and you go down to the lower level.

Europeans want more socialism in life, but less in sports. Americans want less socialism in life, but more in sports. Interesting contrast
