Rant: Soccer

[thrill]

Third I think people filming themselves reacting to something is as douchy as it gets.

Right. When did this become a thing? Why?

Two girls, one cup, I think.

Soccer is so stupid. I will never ever go to a soccer game. All they do is kick a ball around and kick each other's shins.

I love Soccer

It's so great. Its fast, slow, powerful, graceful, compelling, boring, relentless, plodding, huge, communal, gives you delayed gratification, instant gratification, rewards patience, punishes patience and most of all, it never has an offseason, it never stops and it can show you the world. It's one giant, wonderful contradiction full of the worst of humanity and the best.

[expletive] soccer. Fix the field now.

[IndyCards13]

They run up and down a field for 90 minutes and sometimes its a waste of time cause they never score.

Soccer is great

So there are lots of vids of people's reactions to 2g1c? And since then people have been filming themselves watching sporting events?

Exactly! You're making my case for me, Jim! Those teams are in like the 7th division of the english league system. They're store clerks, construction workers and bankers keeping their dream alive. And if, IF! they get hot, keep building and keep getting better, that team could someday make it all the way to the premier league! This team that plays in front of crowds of dozens and who's players have to go to day jobs during the week could conceivably someday be playing in front of hundreds of millions of viewers worldwide! That's a beautiful thing.
