Any activity where the "stars" are known by only one name is not a sport. Yes, RonaldoPeleAlexei Chastahamm, I am talking about you. Any activity where you can sustain a "painful injury," only to stand up and say "hey, I'm ok" after 30 seconds of Oscar-winning acting, is not a sport. Any activity where grown-up men run around in very short shorts for hours, chasing a ball they're not allowed to touch, and where one of the "team members" can dress completely different from the rest of the "team", is not a sport. Any activity where the fans bring gigantic phallic symbols to the stadium in order to taunt the other "team's" fans, is not a sport. Any activity where you have to mobilize the police to prevent a riot inside the stadium on any given game, is not a sport.

And finally, any activity that has fans hell-bent on convincing the unconvinced that it is indeed a sport...isn't. Succer reminds me of the old saying, "if you have to keep telling people how rich, sexy, smart, or cool you are...you aren't."

'Any activity where the "stars" are known by only one name is not a sport.'

Sorry that makes no sense...what has the 'superiority' of two names as opposed to one got to do with anything?..surely the fact that the whole world(except your nation) knows a person by one moniker shows both the worldwide love of football and also the respect for their talent..

Any activity where the 'stars' are full of steroids isnt a real sport.

Any activity where most of the team spend the game in the dugout isnt a real sport.

Any activity where the 'athletes' barely move or stand still for most of the game isnt a real sport.

Any activity where its 'grestest hero' was an overweight man isnt a real sport.

Any activity where players 'pad up' UNLIKE RUGBY isnt a real sport...

Any activity where you HAVE to be a genetic freak who HAS to be a certain height(unlike 'soccer' where some greats were small,some average height and some tall)before you are allowed to play isnt a real sport.

ACTUALLY,I am not a football fan.but I DID want to show that your argument can be easily turned on your sports...
