Soccer is not meant to be frat, it’s meant to be a simple game where anybody, any race, gender and belief can play it and have fun without ignorance involved. I know I’m going to get shit because of this but who cares, American football is only for America only, and ONLY America. Nobody else gives a shit about handegg, the actual name to the american football. And it’s a fact, watch the world cup and premier league.
Also, “without ignorance involved?” You really just went there? FIFA has an active “say no to racism” campaign that was started largely because of racism is international soccer. Just the other week, English captain John Terry was accused of uttering racial slurs at other players. And don’t even get me started on “any gender,” either- women’s soccer, on the global scale, is still a joke to all but a handful of countries (that’s why the women’s world cup has so many fewer teams competing) and doesn’t get anywhere near the investment or attention that men’s soccer does. You post rambles about an idealistic Kumbaya-ian world that doesn’t actually exist. People don’t start riots over American football. People don’t kill American football players who fucked up in a big game. American football fans aren’t hooligans (Philadelphia and Oakland aside). I can go to an away game at any stadium in the US (except again Philly and Oakland) and don’t have to worry about getting beaten up, stabbed, or otherwise hurt because I’m wearing my team’s colors. You know who does do all of those things? Soccer fans. Shut the fuck up. And soccer is a good sport that I sometimes enjoy, by the way, but I can’t fucking stand the elitist bullshit culture that goes with it.
I agree with the riots, it sometimes gets out of control. But this fans are crazy about their team colors because they go way back, even soccer is involved in some of the country’s history. Specially in England, where the sport started NOT Brazil or Mexico, they did have riots back in the 70s 80s era of the game, it has all changed now. Watch a match of Tottenham at White Heart lane on a Saturday or Sunday morning or Manchester Utd match and trust me, you will want to keep watching these teams. I guarantee you that.
Or throwing a ball around. Or bouncing a ball around. Or swinging a club at a ball. Or tackling other grown men carrying a ball. If a significant part of your life isn’t devoted to enjoying doing childish things with a ball you’re in the wrong fucking country, man. I hear France is nice this time of year. Idiot.

13 years ago at 8:04 pmBetter yet, go to a soccer match live, even if it’s only your local MLS team. Get drunk, get in the supporters section, and have a great ass time.
