So I'm sitting there watching some Sportscaster (Colin Cowherd) and he starts in with his usual crap about how football is "dying" because mothers won't let their kids play this "dangerous" game. And I suddenly realize how damn tired I am of Leftists on TV pushing Soccer just because the rest of the world likes it. These are the people who will tell you MLB is "boring", but they want you to watch a bunch of guys run around, maybe kick a ball and fall down pretending to be injured. And mothers won't let their kids play football? Where - in San Francisco? Damn sure not in the Texas or the rest of the South. And those MidWest farm boys aren't going to go pantywaist either. Just because something becomes a fad in the elite enclaves, doesn't mean the rest of us are paying any attention to it. I think the only reason MLS is surviving is because of all the illegals this country is importing.

That not even counting all the head concussions from the ball in soccer.

Pretty much agree, but if anything is killing football, it's the whiny players and the refs that let them get away with acting like spoiled brats.
I quit watching prof sports when money became the sole purpose behind the sport, it's no longer about the game.

Football is like going to war, your out to win.  Unless  your a liberal.

As I remember Teddy was the one that got the flying wedge stopped.  He was a Republican but also was a founder of the Progressive Party.  I think he way also part of the start of Progressive Movement.

I just judge the sports on which injuries were the worst...

Soccer, technically, 'cuz I ran straight into a guardrail.  -20 stitches, or sew... so.
Football; pulled hamstrings.
Baseball; black eye.
Basketball; dislocated finger.
Snow-skiing; concussion.
Hockey; puck in protected groin.

Money has ALWAYS been the only reason behind professional sports. That's why they're professionals - because they get paid. Actually money is the reason behind a lot of amateur sports - it's just that a different set of people get most of the money, and the talent that makes the sport possible, gets an attaboy/girl!

I prefer watching college sports for that reason..... although I am not naive enough to think they are totally clean.

But at least the players are only playing for scholarships..... not millions of dollars.

I was hearkening back to the days when a team was made of of local talent, long before the free agent BS.

The U.S. Women's Soccer team just beat Germany 2-0 in the Word Cup series Tues.  They will play in the final on Sunday afternoon/evening, against Japan. 



The danger to America is not Barack Obama but the citizens capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency.
