I'm mainly a baseball, soccer, and boxing fan. I still enjoy watching the NFL, occasional college football game, certain NBA playoff games, March Madness and a few other things. I don't watch hockey, it just never clicked with me. But I'm not gonna sit here and fucking diss the people that like it. Obviously some people are butthurt because their American sports are not the most popular in the world.More like laughing out asses off that you guys can't play any other sport. Look at it like this, if we pull off some crazy miracle in four years & win the World Cup, we still won't give a fuck, if that makes you feel any better lol. I never understood that, "we're not good, so we ignore it" thing. In the World Baseball Classic we didn't do that well at all, but for some reason it's still one of top sports in this country. When we lost like five years ago in Basketball, didn't even place in the World games, Basketball's popularity didn't plummet. When we made it the Finals, almost beating Canada (the king of Hockey) in the Olympics, Hockey didn't become increasingly popular.So why is it that we don't like Soccer because we don't win at it? Sounds more to me that you just can't cover up the fact that it's boring lol.& above all, if you're going to claim it's a "World" sport, why are you claiming it like it's European? Did America get removed off of the World map or something?

Soccer is based on "my country > your country", don't front.
I think Golf is a cool sport. Especially to be play. But you won't see me sitting here saying it's the best sport ever because my country can't play any other sports.Stop acting like your love for Soccer isn't PURELY based on some nationalistic shit. The entire country pulls for it, hence you follow your country. If Soccer was dominated by Americans & Europeans played Baseball or Football & your country still supported those sports like they did Soccer, you'd be in this very thread today shitting on Soccer & saying how Baseball is the best.Soccer is based on "my country > your country", don't front.
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.

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 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 ...
