Why can't people enjoy both? Why do disparate sports need to be "ranked?" I mean, I watch horse-racing more than I watch basketball, but I don't claim one is "better" than the other.

Because soccer except at the highest levels is for athletically non gifted or cowardly sailboat shirt children. Its the personification of the wimpification of the US and the world in general. Kids in the US who wash out at baseball beyond 8 or are too frightened to play a contact sport like football, lacrosse , or hockey gravitate towards soccer. You can run around and act like you are in an organized sport but you are actually doing nothing but jogging around in a disorganized mess. The sport is just plain boring, just like tennis(which is in tailspin worldwide). Funny you never see an athlete in any US pro sport woof about soccer, hell even David Beckham has to hang around his emaciated wife's friends for that celbutard factor. Only people defending the sport are former wimpy kids who played that pansy sport.

What a pantload. I don’t know who’s worse, some guy who thinks he is a he-man because he played football in H.S., or some guy who pretends that he played football on the internet.
