Bursting with Pride

[Behshad]

To compare the physicality of soccer to football is laughable.

Let's see... Ray Lewis planting a helmet in my chest at full speed. Jean Pierre Flopalot bumping me to the ground. Hmmm.

It's like comparing a head on collision on a highway to that one might experience in a roundabout. There you go...soccer...the "roundabout of sports." They did come from Europe didn't they?

Lets see, a sport is more than JUST physical contact. The soccer players dont need to have a 5 minute break after every 35 second run . So when it comes to stamina , soccer players are miles ahead of football players.
The funny thing about FOOTBALL is that they stole the sport rugby, couldnt come up with an original american name for it, so they named it after what most of the world knows as the real football, where you use your feet to play/kick the ball ! I mean was it so hard to come up with an original name ?
American Football actually is 'rugby for wimps'. When the game was brought into the US it was decreed too violent, so they added padding

I was referring to the debate about the need for pads. I wasn't comparing American football to rugby. Wouldn't, as those suckers are tough. Soccer players, ehh? They may not be sissies, but they sure look like it when they get bumped, flop and roll around like they do. The man card idea is classic.

However, while their cardio may be good, there's plenty of opportunity for soccer players to stand or walk around when the action is on the other side of the field. They're not all running around non-stop, ala 5 year old, chase the ball in a herd, soccer. I would put the stamina of a good wide receiver up against them though.

I'll agree on one thing. Not sure why they named American Footbal, Football. Always wondered about that.

Rugby and Australian rules football are brutal. Whether it be a broken finger or nose, something is bound to get fucked up every game and woe to the player who refuses to play because of it.

[Melissa]

So when a soccer player breaks a leg and "rolls around in pain" that's sissy, but not when a football player does the same thing? Ok

Sorry but I think football players can be just as sissy as soccer players then I had to give flu shots to 2 teenage patients yesterday, both of them high school football players, both tall and heavy (over 200#) and both of them were the biggest babies to get a little needle in the arm! One of them, 6'2" and huge, sat there going "Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god" over and over while I got his little bandaid opened and freaked even when I just swabbed his arm with a fricken alcohol pad I was dying laughing by the time he left, and so was his mother

.....I am so very happy today. Tears of joy are literally streaming down my face at this glorious moment. Why, you ask? Why are yopu so elated Dean? Let me tell you all why. I turned on the television this morning, and the first words I hear are, "Russis will host the world Cup in 2014." Awesome! I think I tore a ligament jumping up and down for joy. I was so proud that America would NOT be hosting this bullshit. I was so happy to know if that crap was on my TV, it would be on at 315AM and wouldn't interfere with ESPN's regular programming, like, Around the Horn, or PTI. However, the good news didn't stop there. About 15 minutes later, ESPN also announced that Qatar, that 1st world country in the friendly Middle East would be hosting the World Cup after Russia! Is this my lucky day, or what?! I am literally break dancing on the living room floor. This day will go down as one of the best in American sports.

Thank you Jesus!

I never thought US would have world cup till 2026 the earliest. and Soccer is the most popular American sport in schools now

[/b] Wanna know why? It doesn't take much skill at all to run up and down a field to kick a ball thru a 10 ft. wide goal, then line up

do the same thing over and over. It's why in PE it's one of the first games you play, very simple to do. But, when kids get up to middle school age they

realize what the "REAL" sports are, and suffice to say, soccer isn't one of them. Amen! Thank you Jesus!

Everyone has played soccer in Elementary for as long as I can remember (which for me was the early '70s). An easy game that boys and girls could both partcipate in and required no special equipment.
However, once High School rolls around, the only ones really playing soccer have usually been the guys that are exchange students or those too small/light to play Football.
We didn't have Latinos in the schools I went to back in the day so I can't say how that might have changed the stigma with the sport with todays students.

Did you go to school in CA? I lived in PA, and soccer wasn't really around until the 90's there. Not in the schools! We didn't have an option for that at any grade level! Here in FL they do. But Im not sure how long it's been that way.

I lived in Chester, PA during Elementary and then moved to the suburbs of Wilmington, Delaware where I finished High School. Not very far apart. There was a little bit of Soccer news back then, with NASL and Pele, but for the most part everything centered around the Philadelphia Eagles when it came to Fall sports. Soccer was okay for recess at school but at home during Autumn, everyone was playing football or Smear The Queer.

We only played kick ball and soft ball and in my gym classes in my grade schools! We had no soccer nets. It started snowing in Erie in Ocotober though, and stopped in maybe May? Back in the 70s! So maybe THAT'S why??

A lot of kids didn't even have sneakers, so there were plenty of tears when someone got whacked in the shins accidentally by someone's clodhoppers. '70s were great.

However, we played -o- that is zeeero soccer!! In PE we played
DODGEBALL, We had rope climbing races, ran for miles and the girls had
gymnastics, while the boys got to play football ...

Soccer is big in the boot, Lynny!!

Maybe THAT'S why I'm a bully now.... Athletics were NOT for me!!! I couldn't even do gymnastics!! Im not kidding! I have never been able to do a cart wheel my whole life!! I got a "C" in PE that quarter!! Ok, enough about me... I don't wanna get yelled at again by the board POT!!

Dodgeball. Always one person sitting on the pullout bleachers, not paying attention and wham - ball hits head, head hits bleacher and off to the nurse's office with a mild concussion.
