re: Why do Soccer Haters Hate Soccer so much?

No shite. But again, the level of exposure Americans have for soccer does not explain the level of vitriol. The fact this board exists on a site like this is testament to that, as no one wanted us posting on the MSB, not for any particular reason.

The vitriol doesn't bother me, as often it's ridiculous, with people saying its a sissy sport or it's a communist sport, but there is absolutely nothing to indicate that such statements are "teasing."

Please elaborate on the vitriol? It's not like you're a segregated class in society. There are dozens of soccer organizations in S.E.LA. for children and adults that have matches in the various parks on almost every weekend. The parking lots are filled and their are hundreds involved.

I was under the impression that having the Soccer Board was a good thing, not akin to being forced to sit in the back of the bus. With so many topics started on this board, soccer would likely dominate the More Sports Board if this didn't exist. The Soccer Board seems to have been earned and in order.

Some really seem to post as if they have developed a victimization complex when perhaps thicker skin is in order.
