Would I Get Shot If I Say I Don't Like Soccer?

[Dinger]

Hockey either.:hide:

1. You're my kind of man!

Or woman or whatever.

[JonLP24]

2. I don't see the point of saying that here

If I wanted to read about sports that I like, being bashed, I'd go talk sports in GD. I already deal with plenty of bashing of a sports league that I like which bothers me a little. I come here to the Sports Forum as a friendly place where sports that I like are not being bashed.

[Condem]

3. No worries, Jon. Dinger is just expressing an opinion.

Not much different than me weighing in on heinous figure skating.

[madinmaryland]

15. or your 40 brazilian posts about Notre Dame joining the Big 10.

:wtf:

[El Supremo]

4. Aww, you got me...

:blush:

[Condem]

5. BTW, El. Dinger's a woman. n/t

[El Supremo]

7. But was she really hatched at Coors Field?

[Dinger]

8. True (nt)

[petronius]

11. You come to the sports forum because it's friendly?

Geez, I have clearly misread an awful lot of posts around here in that case... ;)

(Also, which league is it that you feel is mistreated?)

[flvegan]

6. Nah. Calling it soccer pretty much sums up your opinion of it anyway.

:hide:

[MrSlayer]

9. Not for soccer.

But for hockey I might have to cross-check you in the face.

10. Where's my gun?

:D

[Auggie]

12. It's growing on me

[GaYellowDawg]

13. Not by me.

I hate soccer. And remember when hockey went on strike for an entire season? It made me so happy.

[qazplm]

14. I agree with you on both BUT

I actually watch soccer and hockey when the US team is playing and root for them. What can I say, go USA :)

[Mojambo]

16. I hate any sport where you can tie.

Such a waste of effing time.

[cherokeeprogressive]

18. What is it that they say about ties? Oh yeah... A tie is like kissing your sister. n/t

[HuckleB]

21. It's all just entertainment.

I'm not sure why a possible third outcome in the mix of possible outcomes is bad. It makes it all a bit more of a mystery.

[Mojambo]

22. The way I look at it if a game can end in a tie there's no need to keep score in the 1st place.

So either don't keep score, which I'm fine with, or play to a winner.

[HuckleB]

23. Where's the logic in that?

Perhaps you should look into how soccer standings occur.

[Mojambo]

24. I understand them. I just think they are stupid. n/t

[HuckleB]

25. Great.

So don't pay attention to it.

[Mojambo]

27. That's not a problem.

I live in the U.S

:P

[hughee99]

29. You don't like the NFL? n/t

[KamaAina]

17. Depends where you are.

Brazil? Italy? Canada? Hell yeah.

[cherokeeprogressive]

19. If someone shoots you, they might as well shoot me too. Don't like it. Never have, never will.

I'm not militant about not liking it though; I just can't get into it. I didn't see a single minute of todays game because I worked, but even if I didn't, the most attention it would have gotten from me is an occasional peek at the channel it was on.

[HuckleB]

20. No.

But what's the point? Why do you need to say it?

[rep the dems]

26. I can't agree with you on hockey.

But right there with you on soccer. Can't stand it and I really don't care who wins the World Cup.

[Poiuyt]

28. What's wrong with me?

If the rest of the world likes soccer, why don't I? ESPN keeps telling us how exciting it is, why do I find it boring?
