Don't Hate

I have stated before that I am a soccer fanatic. I hate it when all these sports personalities bash it and say that it is not a "real man's sport," like Mark Schlereth suggested one day while hosting Jim Rome's show. My only comeback to that is the reason you were so good is because you have been praised since you were little on how overweight you were, Congrats by the way!...not to mention being an expert at the cut block. The only problem with this country is that we think that we are better than everyone and rather not embrace the world's game, we berate it. Soccer combines fitness, strength, and raw skill to excel at it. In my bias opinion, it is the ultimate sport in combining the three along with intelligence. America prides themselves in being big. Soccer does not require one to be 6'3, 210 lbs. to be good at it. Honestly how many people can run a 4.4 40 yd. dash, 6'5 and weight 220? Those are few and far between. I hate all these people that say soccer sucks. Those that do have never set foot on a soccer field and probably could not play even if they tried to. You think that anyone outside the United States cares about the upcoming NFL Draft? No! They are talking about the next draw in the Champions League. GO BLUES! Soccer is not only the world's game but rather the game's world!
