Our soccer, your football...

I realize that this is my first post in over a month. Much has happened and I will comment on all of it. But I MUST get this out first.

In light of the World Cup, a few observations:

You want to KNOW why soccer can't catch on in the United States? Diving. I haven't seen that much diving since the Summer Olympics! Seriously, how can you get into a sport where the players keep throwing themselves into the ground whenever an opponent breathes near them and are rewarded with the ball, a penalty against their opponent, and pop right back up after rolling around on the ground for five minutes. Its like taking a trip with your family, your sibling making a smacking sound withTHEIR hand on THEIR leg, they bust into tears wailing that YOU hit them, your dad pulls the car into the next rest area, and you can't sit on your rear end for the rest of Missouri. Now, how is that fun to WATCH? And anyways, how manly is that? In football the whole point is to stay on YOUR feet and knock the other guy on HIS butt. What if diving caught on in baseball? Can you imagine the scene? Every time a guy hit a routine grounder he runs into the first basemen, flies through the air and writhes around in "pain", and then he's safe. Yeah, sounds like a real winner. Be a man, throw a couple elbows and put the ball in the goal.

Oh and while I am on it...a large grassy area, whether used for sport or not, is commonly known as a field. A pitch is the musical tone a sound makes in correlation to agreed upon musical note measurments. STICK TO THE FORMULA PEOPLE!
