Ebola,

Soccer is by far the most popular sport for children in the US. It is not popular with US TV networks because they can't stop the game for advertising.

Ebola,

Are you in the Bay Area? I play soccer in Mountain View quite often. The sissies are waiting to kick your ass.

Dear e, you are obviously quite ignorant of the game of futbol. There are no rules in playing the game of futbol or soccer as you call it.

A common misunderstanding of those 100% ignorant of the beautiful game. I also consider it stupid to evaluate the good in anything by in some way bringing up the fact that stupid people do stupid things all the time.

A major legacy of mr bill and the democrat party has been a never ending movement of the society to an in your face uncivility and all sports for youth have had to deal with the truly stupid parents who don't know what a game is.
These parents suck the joy out of the game and cheat all children.

In general baseball for example is somewhat immune to this as all the parents are usually sleeping while the grass grows, I mean during the game. I think baseball is the only game where half the player who are playing are still sitting on the bench for most of the game. Football is about dummies butting heads and a child getting a cheap shot is part of the game.
