You're awfully Americanized for an Austrian.

Relax "Alpenjodler".
Since America is becoming Britain without the sophisticated accent austroslavs have to keep the eagle's faith.  ;)

That's the impression I'm getting - it's like a Britain, mutated by even greater greed and multicultural allah-ism, is recolonizing the US to remove anything that's fun.
Only person who will fight for the US is Jesse Ventura firing his .45 from behind the meximerican border.

Yeah, I wouldn't argue that. Seems that anything that offends anyone (who is not white, its fine to offend whites) is on it's way to being banned... I get the distinct impression we're one mainstream shooting away from them trying to ban firearms...

Political correctness has taken over and its fucking stupid.

It will implode then explode anyways.
America and other larger countries will fragment and revitalize under permanent conflict as some distinct gentlemen always envisioned/worked towards it.
Basically a global Yugoslavia.

I'm only interested in this phenomenon to the extent that it will lead to a proliferation of soccer mom MILF's.

redundant.

and all the people bitching about soccer, lol, have never played it or watched it to any serious extent.  EVERY SPORT SEEMS BORING under these circumstances.

funny how people can claim soccer is too boring for americans when BASEBALL is the national pastime!  -- a sport that can only interest autistics and fat, wannabe athletes (much like golf).

Baseball isn't the National Pastime anymore. Football has taken that spot. I have played Soccer and I still think it's boring as shit.

Funny.

Jordan, one of the greatest athletes to ever lace em' up had dreams of playing in the majors. Couldn't even cut it in the minor leagues.

I don't think the way I put it communicates the same meaning as 'soccer MILF,' so I'm going to stick by my use of the expression 'soccer mom' as an adjective indicating the type of MILF I had in mind.

Yes, after dominating the nba and capturing multiple nba titles, who wouldn't want to test their mettle in the cut throat world of...darts.

and as far as the "gay" argument is concerned, perhaps people might spare a second for the history books.  sports used to involve groups of men chopping each other to bits -- with this in mind, american football, basketball, baseball, hockey, boxing, MMA, and soccer are indistinguishable blips on the queer scale.

let me spell it out for you:

that he failed at baseball is no testament to the "athleticism" of baseball athletes.  to the contrary, it further demonstrates the pathetic nature of the sport.

Your logic: baseball players are wannabe athletes - Implying baseball requires some semblance of athleticism to play and in your mind, very little.

Because we all know athletes who wouldn't cut it in other sports are taking their talents and playing poker. Not.

One of the greatest athletes ever falls flat on his face playing a game that is dominated by athletes who couldn't cut it in other sports.

/your ignorance on display for the enitire board to read.

It's a different KIND of althetic pursuit, but its still an althetic pursuit.

yes, it's a different kind.  darts, as mentioned, also is "a different kind." e-sports are also a different kind.

my point: a different kind, meaning a lower kind.

in the face of football, soccer, basketball, hockey, etc. baseball may as well not even be a sport, and yet it's HUGE in america.  so much for the the argument "soccer is too boring."

There is no althetics involved in Darts. There actually is in Baseball. You have to run. You have to hit. You have to catch. Your comparison is fail.

Id be happy to see soccer rise to the top.

Well now... if all those sports are high on the queer scale, then slap my ass and call me Suzy. :-*
