why do americans hate on foot-ball ?
coola:
why is it americans call football (soccer) gay and all that ? when its in american football where they wear tights and stick eachothers asses in their faces ? dont mean to diss NFL, coz personally i think its kinda cool, but its pretty ignorant to call football gay and then enjoy NFL...
pS. just thought of that lookin at someones sig with hella soccer moves...
eS El Duque:
no idea...i just know NFL = BIG MONEY!...
wcsoldier:
I think because soccer ain't in people US cultures. Same things with Baseball and NFL for Europeans
Teddy Roosevelt:
For me, its because of those shorts. When I was like 8 and I played soccer they shorts were practically short shorts. That pretty much did it for me. :)
seriously...
From the outside looking in it's just because all they're doing is kicking a ball. I know there's a lot of strategy and skill involved in it, but from someone who hasn't grown up watching it, it just looks like some guys kicking a ball. And I don't really think it's gay... I watched the world cup. I even travelled from San Diego, CA to Minnieapolis, MN just to watch some soccer games (and chill with the family).
So basically is just what your exposed to. US=football Canada=hockey rest of the world=soccer.
