[quote=funcoot;24350249]most of america doesn't care about soccer. Sure, most you guys on facepunch do, but that's because most of the people here are wanna be brits or were emasculated by football players in high school and just resent the sport because of it.
Sure, america finally got excited about the world cup.. But only because america was actually doing good in it at a point. If we fell out of the runnings early on.. You wouldn't have heard much about it.
Football is a sport that is growing in popularity, just not as fast as soccer did.
Soccer spread fast because of the global influence britain had at the time and lets face it.. It's cheap. Any 3rd world country can set up a soccer team. All you need is a ball.
It just sounds like you have something against football to be honest.[/quote]

Funny how you seem to think it's wrong that a private institution gets to decide how much it pays it's employees.
[QUOTE=analrapist;24346986]Most human animals are painfully stupid and needs something to occupy their time that doesn't require much thought.
Watching other people play games that have simple rules, and being able to root for "their" team gives slow-witted people pleasure and prevents them from having to contemplate the deeper meanings of life or develop skills or hobbies.[/QUOTE]
Did the football players make fun of your penis size in the locker room or something?
