This just isn't true. The amount of flopping you see at the end of a soccer game is worse than you will see in 15 NBA games combined.

You start running at your top speed, which I assume is a fast walk, and then let me kick or step on your foot with cleats.. Let's see how you react and how long you stay on the ground.
You do know they wear cleats in football right? How many guys are rolling in around on the ground after getting stepped on in the NFL?

Not unless they ban football or all the baseball fans die off.
The MLS has similar ratings to the damn WNBA

No flop rule but there is a unique feature called advantage where if a player is fouled ref won't call it because victims team is still in possession of the ball and there is a scoring opportunity. Calling the foul would be back tracking.

No. The first goal was due to an own goal, the second was a shot from the top of the box. The third was a penalty where a player flopped.
But thanks for talking about a match you obviously didn't watch.
I've watched all 4 matches, but apparently have shite memory. It doesn't change the fact that the guy flopped like a damn fish out of water for a controversial goal.

Okay it still doesn't really change how soccer is appreciated in America.

No, but it does show how out of touch you are with what the younger generation of today is watching, sports wise. Soccer is HUGELY popular with teenage kids, especially BPL and La Liga. I see that you live in Memphis so I doubt you are seeing much of this.

Dear Soccer Fans,
I really do enjoy you defending your product; however, attacking fans of other sports and saying OMG IT'S GONNA HE HUGGEEEEE, really turns everyone off.
Thanks,

Okay it is still far and away less supported than any of the other major sports in America.

I can't imagine what standard you could possibly be using.

Dear Jcorye1,
I really appreciate your thoughts, but attacking soccer leads to defensive posts.
Thanks,

The correlation between that and supporting the game at a professional level isn't what you assume. I don't know why, but it's not.

Exactly. Getting studded on top of the foot is excruciating for about 45 seconds. Literally excruciating. Granted, I've never acted as Mich of a bitch as some of these guys do, but it hurrs a lot worse than you think of you've never played.
+1 And you've gotta do some theatrics to maybe gain a foul advantage. When I play with friends I don't do the theatrics cause it won't do me any good. In that way, the bitching by pros is awful, but I can see a method to the madness. Unless it's blatantly not a foul.

They're the best leagues in the world.
I watch MLS too, as do most.
