I'm not talking about religion, well not really. Its about my biggest short coming, my addiction to soccer. I guess it is a religion for me seeing how I am not a religious person, I mean I was never christened and in Christianities eyes am already going to hell. (might as well enjoy the ride, thats neither here nor there...)
Getting back on topic, I was out with my friends watching some ball games, be more exact Arizona vs Nebraska and the announcers were talking about this defensive linebacker who was really talented and how he played soccer a lot when he was a kid. One announcer then decides to share his ultimate wisdom with the rest of the world and says "He wouldnt be making millions playing soccer." As if the highest paid soccer player makes less then a million dollars. This is on ESPN, the network that will be hosting the biggest sporting event in the world and commentators dont even know how big soccer is worldwide. If anything its the other way around with players making more in soccer especially with no salary cap. It just annoys me when people are extremely ignorant and it also pisses me off when they try to spread their ignorance to other people who will easily believe what they hear....say like the everyday American. No wonder Americans hate the game of soccer...Also on that note, ESPN (again) had a new years special where they looked back at what happened over the year/decade. ESPN thought a good idea to have someone say what he believes would happen over the next 10 years and one of them were "Fifa finally realizes why soccer is not popular and raises the crossbar a foot to make it more entertaining because there will be more goals. Close to 1,000 goals were scored in the EPL alone. That is not enough goals for you? Really? you want more? Maybe we should just make the goals be like 7 points, then you would be happy? you would watch it? ARE YOU THAT STUPID? Yeah, NFL games finish 28-26 or something like that, but realistically all that is is 4-3 if touchdowns were one point. Its completely idiotic and just goes to prove that ESPN/most of America do not actually watch the game. More ignorance, also, the USA only makes up 4.52% of the world, why would FIFA change the rules for 4.52%??? Everybody else thinks the game is entertaining. The entire world does, except the USA....I bet its because of the revolutionary war or some stupid thing like that. No wonder everyone hates the USA. Its ignorant.
One more fun quote from ESPN: "Now its time for the Wolverhampton Wanders to take on The Manchester City Premiership." The US media is crap and it rubs off on its people, now i know why I keep my British passport next to my heart and my American one in a drawer. I am embarrassed to be part of the close minded ignorance.
Rant over.
