--- Quote from: Chamillitary Click, literally. on April 19, 2011, 01:47:14 PM ---lol @ acting like "club play" isn't just the city inside the country.
Like I root for the USA in the World Baseball Classic, but I root for New York over Boston in MLB. There are obviously in-state rivals & you rep your city over another one.

It's not driven by pride of the country thoughHere's an example. If Barcelona were to go to the Champions League Final vs Manchester United, then Real Madrid fans would rather see Manchester United win. The only pride that I see being mentioned sometimes is the strength of the league. It's similar to how people react to the different conferences in college sports. SEC vs Pac 10 etc blah blah.

Just like I'd rather see the Rays win a World Series over the Mets, despite the Mets being from New York. Or how I root my ass off for basically any team that plays the Giants, in Football.
You never want to see your neighbor win because you have to deal with those fans more often than somebody from a country hundreds of miles away.
Javier:
So how does that disprove that fans prefer club play over international play from a soccer fan?
Makaveli's Food & Liquor:
So Cricket, despite being bigger than Baseball and NFL, is irrelevant because Europe and Asians play it, that's like me saying well NFL/NBA is irrelevant because its mainly played by black Americans ::) And Golf/Tennis is irrelevant because the people who play it, invented it and aren't poor ? LOL What?
So if we're shit at all these irrelevant sports, what is America good at? Not counting Baseball/NFL since you invented it and Basketball/Ice Hockey/Tennis/ Golf doesn't count since they were invented by white people who aren't poor, so obviously they're all irrelevant by your logic

Just because something is not part of your culture doesn't mean it sucks ... it's called not being narrow-minded and aware of the culture diversity around the world ...

Son, don't put words in my mouth for the sake of your argument. I love plenty of things from other cultures. I don't like Soccer, period. It's boring. That's all I said. You're the ones who took it to heart.
