how many times has the "high scoring" shite been mentioned? haven't read a lick of the thread....people that mention this are giving proof that they simply dont know jack shite about the sport.
Even people who don't know the sport realize that at the last seconds of a 102-102 basketball game the score is still zero. People find soccer boring b/c of the size of the field, the lack of violence
, because America hasn't taken it over, and b/c it's kinda, uh, boring....

people hate soccer bc they are bad at it and they aren't smart enough to play it.

Ummmm, no, you are asking Americans here. They love football/hockey b/c of more violence, which I stated. And football, which is more loved by Americans has a smaller field, so more scoring "potential". Come back with an argument (I'm just stating why 
I played, and I don't care to watch team sports because frankly I find individual sports more stimulating for competition; "smart enough to play it", that's a really fricking funny statement)

now that is just fricking stupid. The sport is boring, get over it. Soccer fans get more upset than any other sports fan when they talk about their sport. You love it, isnt that enough? As far as the pussy soccer players, I think that comes from people that you see playing soccer in the high school/ college level are the people who couldnt play football/baseball/ basketball because they were not good enough. The people I know that like soccer are the most non-athletic and goofy people I know so that influences my decision.

False. A 20-17 American Football game has the same amount of scoring as a 3-2 soccer game.

If you truly think that baseball players are better atheletes than soccer players you truly have no hope. The best atheletes in the world(sans Americans) play soccer. How many people in Europe, Africa or Asia even know who Peyton Manning, Labron James or Derek Jeter are? There are atleast fifteen soccer players that are more recognized on a world-wide basis than the biggest American sports stars. Get your head out of your arse.

Soccer > American football, and no amount of denying it changes the simple fact.

you are fricking stupid. Oh, and I dont give a shite if some frick in Nigeria knows who P. Manning is. Soccer will always be second and maybe third rate in this country.

It's a good thing people don't judge American football based on their perception of you.

when i say 2nd rate I mean second tier. Football, baseball and basketball are first level. Nascar, hockey, golf are 2nd tier to me and soccer is fourth maybe third tier.

So is baseball. We would just like people to understand that soccer/futbol is here to stay and that they can tolerate its existence.

Appearances are deceiving. Example, I, a lanky, skinny guy, played rugby. Don't let your eyes stop you from enjoying a game.

As far as the pussy soccer players,
I think this comes from the media's obsession with diving. Of course, diving is much more prevalent in basketball.
