Most Americans aren't threatened by soccer. And those that talk shit about it don't think 2x about soccer.

It's nothing more than spectator competition. not unlike my sports buddies that raze me for rooting for a certain team or sport. and I return the raze.
thing is, it's a bit different than banter between opposing, knowledgeable fans. Announcing football is boring/dumb/blahblah is like when markham used to say nobody knew what they were doing. He was too much of a stupid cunt, so 'trashed' those who actually understood their particular skill, saying it was nowhere as good as producing content - the 1 and only thing he DID understand.

PM: I don't understand traffic, but it's too easy, anyone can do it, but no-one has any anyway, ps mailing will halt the internet.

GFY: Soccer is boring, the rules are stupid, they only score a few goals per match

Honestly, good banter and razes are what make the world go round, but we're doing what people on boards tried to do for years with markham - attempting to speak with genuine knowledge, to the uneducated
