Here’s what I love about every soccer post: That people have to come on it and tell everyone how much they hate it. It’s funny because it only ever happens with soccer.
For example, I suspect most of us don’t really like figure skating (I know I don’t). But if someone started a post about figure skating, we would all just ignore it. You wouldn’t see a post saying “figure skating blows…there’s no contact and the music is stupid and the outfits are stupid and the judges are corrupt.” You only ever see this kind of response with soccer. Why is that?
I suspect it’s because soccer is massively growing in popularity in the U.S. and some people feel it’s threatening the established status quo of the big 3 American sports, so they get defensive, and it is manifest by lashing out about how much they don’t like it. Figure skating is threatening anything so the traditionalists leave it alone. Can anyone confirm that my suspicion is correct?
