Find me a fat soccer player. I find the sport slow and boring, but it’s players are ATHLETES.

There is a soccer tournament going on in my town in NH this weekend. There will be over 300 teams participating. These are all soccer club teams from NH, MA, RI, CT, ME. Kids range in age from 6-16. All the local hotels in the Nashua area will be FULL this weekend because of this tournament. Plus the restaurants will be full. It is a huge economic benefit to the area on a weekend when many locals go away to their summer lake house/camp, etc.

There is not a thing on this earth more boring than soccer. I would rather have my fingernails pulled out than watch it

Soccer has become immensely popular in recent years because setting up a youth league is really cheap to do. And soccer games can be completed in less than two hours for the really organized games, including the stoppage time added to each half of a game. A baseball game? You'll be lucky to get in nine innings under 2.5 hours nowadays.

Indeed, NBC's decision to carry the English Premier League made it possible for Americans to enjoy soccer at the truly highest level (in fact, during the fall, it's been said many NFL football fans watch Premier League games on early Sunday mornings at tailgate parties at NFL stadiums).
