Keep enjoying NASCAR, and Football with 6'5" freaks of nature crush each other with pads. And as much as people here think football players are real athletes, hate to break it to you guys, just because someone is huge with ripped muscles it doesnt make them a great athlete. They take breaks every 15 seconds. Soccer players run 8 miles a game.....
Like I said, keep enjoying your NASCAR, Football, and ever so exciting golf.
Chente, you don't surprise me -- at all. I know of a book that you should read, you might enlighten yourself. Sal Paolantonio's "How Football Explains America".
Amazon.com: How Football Explains America (9781600780462): Sal Paolantonio: Books
After reading it, you might better appreciate why some of us enjoy football instead of soccer.
A previous poster jogged something in my memory. I was on a military trip flying through England during World Cup season. We went to Cambridge, hit a couple of pubs, and watched the soccer game. Near the end of the game, the police swarmed into all of the pubs with video cameras and batons in hand. Many of the locals ran from the pubs. Near the end of the game, the locals turned extremely rowdy and violent. We decided to leave and went back to the base. The following day, there were riots, several Americans were beaten up, and some cars were set on fire. Good times.
