5. Soccer appeals to Joe Sixpack, since soccer doesn't require athletic talent or advanced motor skills. Soccer appeals to the average and to the below average. Thus, it has an instant constituency for its popularity. Too weak or slow to play football? Participate in soccer. Too short or slow to play basketball? Participate in soccer. Lack the hand-eye coordination necessary to hit a baseball or the agility to stickhandle thru traffic? Participate in soccer. Lack basic motor skills? Participate in soccer.

What a dumb ass

Yeah in zAmerica nfl is popular , but not in Europe

50 cent is popular in Americxa but not in Europe

That shows the taste of the American public

funny thing is that Americans hate on soccer and get offended when we call it football, but the Soccer came from the word association football.
And if it soccer then why every damn team is a football club and not soccer club?

NFL= Pussy version of rugby

*shrug* Yea not many Americans appreciate soccer (myself included, but I really don't like any sports for that matter), but I used to play it in grade school to middle school. And yea, most of the "real" athletes that play American football, basketball, etc. would do horrible in soccer, and most soccer athletes world-wide wouldn't know what they're doing in basketball or American football either. It goes both ways.

I wouldn't go that far though :/ and the NFL is probably the biggest athletic enterprise of any sport, so I don't know why you're hating on it so much when there are plenty of people that like it.


And I don't like 50 cent or nfl, but what exactly does the European (or anywhere else) public like thats so great? Which musicians, etc?

Ok NFL isnt a biggest athletic enterprise, FIFA is , im not sure if you know what FIFA is

And Europiens like music such as :

Phil Collins
Sting
Elton John
Ozzy Osbourne
etc , they much better then the America music such as :
Britney Spears
50 Cent
N'Sink

i didnt say regionally popular, i was getting at overall popular. i agree with you that Phil collins, sting, maybe elton, ozzy, the beatles, zeppelin are all FAR superior to the shit nowadays. but your line of thought suggesting that because 'football' is the most popular sport in the world means it is the best is faulty logic.

and besides, man, let him have his regional stupidity. i agree he's an asshole, but you're just as big of one, if not worse, for making a big deal out of it. if you were the cultured, sophisticated european you'd like us to believe you were, i dont think you would have even brought this shit up. let him be an idiot. it makes him happy let him fucking be.
