Who is the "archer" in baseball? I find soccer fans amusing because they mistake "failure" even more statistically profound than baseball batting, for "action."

Only in soccer is so much super slo-mo camera work devoted to things that didn't happen, or even come close to happening, such as a shot on goal that misses everything by several feet, a corner kick that misses everyone, or contact between players that never occurred.

American football may meet its demise, but soccer will never fill the void left behind because its ethos is un-American.

Dang autocorrect. That was supposed to be "catcher", obviously.

I have never seen anyone fully explain this thought. What about sport is un-American?
