why do americans hate on foot-ball ?
Bomb-A®:
the reason american sports are fast paced and more active is
1. they are ad-friendly....you have a commercial every time there's a time-out....they play 2 minutes and rest for three
2. there are virtually two teams....one for offence, one for defence....unlimited subs
atleast football has continuity...when ur running around for 90 mins on a ground that large you cant expect the kind of pace u get in nefl, nba, nhl
peace
Trauma-san:
Americans hate on soccer for two reasons
1. Either they're ignorant, and just hate on anything different than themselves, or
2. They've seen europeans, defending others hating on soccer, talk about how much greater international Football is than American football, so it's a defensive backlash.
The sad truth of it is, most americans give fuck all whether or not you're playing soccer or whatever you want to do, Americans in general never even think about the rest of the world, we have our own world. Unlike the european nations where everybody lives pretty close to another country, We don't get movies from overseas, or watch television from overseas, or play sports from overseas, or buy products from overseas, or worry about threats from overseas, or any fucking thing. If you don't watch the news, you'd never even think about anything outside the U.S. because we've created our own world where if you WANT to be, you can be isolated from the rest of the world. So what I'm saying is, most people don't hate on soccer, they don't even think about it or give a fuck. We have lots of kids here who play soccer in school, nobody usually thinks about it as inferior or superior to any other sport, it's just a sport.
P.S., before the children with no mind come on and start talking about how wrong it is to say that blah blah blah, I'm just saying the truth, I'm not passing any judgement on whether or not it's a good thing or a bad thing, i'm just saying what I see, how I see it.
