re: Official List of Reasons Why Americans Hate Soccer

Literally none of those. Here’s a few real reasons.

-Literally every team flops and rolls on the ground like a little bitch, and while doing so they jeopardize their team. When the players flop they rarely stop play so they put their team at a disadvantage. Plus it goes against everything in sports, suck it the frick up and get back at it, don’t ever let the opponent see that weakness. If you are actually hurt that is different. It’s just such a beta bitch move. And yes, it is in American sports and I hate it in basketball and football too. fricking cucks.

- It’s even more boring than baseball which is really saying something. There are a few beautiful moments when it all comes together, just like in baseball, but it is largely extremely slow paced and boring as frick.

-Playing for a tie or draw is yet another bitch arse move. It’s championed and celebrated in soccer and I will never understand it

-Offsides is a stupid fricking rule and should be abolished, just like in Hockey

-The constant running clock is fricking stupid. The end of a game is absolutely ridiculous that there is not a specific set time ending and it can vary based off of one person’s opinion and stopwatch. When they are playing the 97th minute and only the official knows when he will stop the game is fricking absurd. Why even keep track of time at all if it can randomly end whenever one person wants? Can you imagine an official having that kind of control in the NFL and stopping play randomly without a running clock being displayed?

-it’s corrupt as frick. It’s by far the most corrupt sport in the world

I’m glad that some here are admitting that baseball is boring as well. I need an explanation from those that feel soccer is boring but baseball isn’t.

Baseball fans hating soccer and vice versa is pot vs kettle

Difference is the best of the best in baseball play here. MLS is basically AA baseball.

Then everyone just full kicks the length of the field and it no longer resembles a sport

Go to an offsides like ice hockey. Ball has to be in the offensive zone before a player.

Get rid of penalty kicks to decide important games. Play until someone scores and increase the number of players on the roster so a team can sub for every starter when the starters get too tired to keep playing.

Increase the width of the goal by 2.5 meters on each side.

Limit the number of players in the offensive zone to 6 on each team. This will prevent teams from just playing defense.

viewed as a 'foreign' sport and 'not meant for americans' - too many women play it - wearing high socks pulled up to the knees looks gay and ridiculous - can't play commercials since there are no timeouts so TV networks don't like it, thus americans don't get enough exposure to it. - lack of understanding of the game. everything looks like a backwards pass to the average american viewer so it looks like nothing is happening - cool kids in school play football and basketball...you get laughed at for playing soccer - LGBTQ+ in america trying hard to claim it as their own for some reason bringing their gay flags and agenda to games, and thus turning off straight americans to the sport

It’s boring as hell.

SteelerBravesDawg. Move to Europe. Or South America.

Without offsides it might be interesting.

That's akin to saying without holding penalties football would be better.
