Kings and Monopolies are some of the most un American things you can have. Kings are why we fought Britain. A monopoly is the complete opposite of a free market.

Most people on the soccer board understand this. Maybe I should ask the OT?

I'm struggling to remember when "soccer is gay" would have been funny. I guess when I was around 13 or 14. How old are you?

Why isn't rugby the most American sport?


You are trying to make a point but you don't know what you were arguing. Football is American rugby. We've changed many rules in 150 years.

Im not to familiar with Cricket, so no, but that's pretty cool.

I do know that the scores are high so maybe that means its actually a better sport than baseball too. Because we all know Americans hate low scoring sports because they are boring.

Which goes back to my argument that no it doesn't, the sport is just as violent and the rules have nothing to do with it. I don't see how a sport with a bunch of metro's running around flopping is more American.
