Soccer gets picked on on the MSB quite a bit by the hardcore football crowd who feel the need to post "OMG I clicked the soccer board, am I gay?!". Lot of baseball hate over there too.
Soccer and baseball are my two favorite sports, for vastly different reasons. Soccer for the reasons stated here previously - 90+ minutes, no commercial, non-stop action - baseball because there is no time limit, it could go on and on and on, but there is a definite ebb and flow of a baseball game. I do agree with the general sentiment that most people do not like soccer because it is not an "American" sport. Seems like everyone sure does get excited when World Cup comes around though. Too bad, it is their loss. Always like to bring up to soccer haters the fact that football has only about 11-12 minutes of action in a game.

And yes I am a football fan, along with F1, golf and cycling. "European" sports - I'll take them.

Same thing with the Olympics. HUGE international event. American pride. Doesn't have much to do with the sports themselves.
