These kids actually had the nerve to act tough around campus. I could understand it if they just had some fun with it and realized that it's just a game. Perhaps there is a stereotype in this country that pins soccer as being a sport for children of upper middle-class parents who cart their little weiner brats all over town to play a game and show off in front of other families. The whole soccer mom thing is seen here in two different perspectives, one positive, one negative. Depends if one is claiming to be a soccer mom, or is being accused of being a soccer mom. It also bugs me that a player can roll around on the ground after being bumped so that a penalty can be drawn against the opposing team. If you're really hurt, take it like a man and wait to be carted off the field. Otherwise, get your ass back in the game and get angry. After all, the only true sports are mountain climbing, bull fighting, and auto racing. Everything else is just a game. Happy to have checked off one of these in my 23 years. Care to guess which one? ;-) Soccer fans and players worldwide have ruined the chances of soccer being accepted in America. Get over it. Rational people do not need to have unanimous agreement of opinions (or even correct spelling) to feel complacent. </rant> WE ARE!!! PENN STATE!!! Here's to another great year of Nittany Lion football!

Mountain climbing is not a sport! Who's the world champion? What's the world record? It's just going for a walk with added equipment - as much a sport as running for a bus! >>Walking up a hill is not mountain climbing. Having a couple toes fall off while attempting to make it to camp. That's sport. Bull fighting is animal cruelty dressed up as a cultural experience. >>A dressed up Spaniard running the hell away from a pissed off bull. That's sport. Auto racing is just getting sponsors to pay for R&D for the car companies. >>Me taking the car that I have owned for five years and driven every day to one of the worlds most historic road courses and beating the pants off BMWs and Porsches. That's sport.

Add all of that, and that means that you have to sit on your couch for 3-4 hours straight just waiting for the game to start only to hear that whistle being blown just and wait for everything to start over again. I guess the average obese NFL fan doesn't mind because it gives enough time to go to the kitchen and grab some more Doritos and beer. Technically it's a sport (if it can be called a sport) made for commercialism rather than entertainment and competitiveness.

Yes, "soccer" is sooooooo much better. Guys running around in faggity shorts for God knows how long. Sometimes falling down on their own. And after all that, 1-0 is the final. David Beckham finally saw the light. He wasn't going to get any $$$$ or any more popular on the "world stage". So he's come to America and in that short time has made 3X what he previously earned. AND HE DOESN'T EVEN HAVE TO SUIT UP!!!! Soccer fans & soccer players are just frustrated with the outrageous salaries you can earn in US Major sport. The money is there, the owners just choose to keep it all. What's wrong with commercials? You still come here to Queenzone even though you're slapped with one on every single page!!!

Ah yes, the pinball principle: high scoring = great game

Rugby is equally high contact, played year round with minimal padding. And your last sentence applies to any sport and many other careers too.
