It's the only way that Interpol can keep up with the whereabouts of known hooligans, and I'm not talking about the teams, just the fans.
Because NOTHING like that happens in other sports here, right?

Sidewalks should be banned because a fall on them could break your neck.
Microwaves should be banned as well because they can easily be made into a bomb with a bowl of gasoline with some aluminum foil in it!
And the list could go on for weeks on all the things that need to be banned that can possible hurt you!
#^*%'@ Wilkie, if the government reads your post they'll slap a fuel tax on beans, make you sign a waiver before using sidewalks, and make you clear gasoline purchases through Homeland Security. And all of that doesn't include that you'll have to sign for most kitchen appliances as well.

But what about the kitchen appliances already in our possession? we're good there, right??

TV is ok. Noone watches it when its on.
Incorrect. Soccer is going to become bigger and bigger whether people like it or not because so many kids have played it in the last decade. Already starting next year all of the EPL games iwll be broadcast in the US, and even all of Mexico's National Team games and some league games are shown now. The US national team games have been getting big ratings. Soccer is growing in popularity because it's such an easy sport to get your kids involved in.
They have been saying this since the mid 70's. Simply isn't going to happen.
People in this country want to see some goals scored every now and then. I don't see soccer ever catching on to the extent of any of the current major sports in the US. It's one thing to watch your kid play, it's another to travel and pay a bunch of money to see a game.

Yes, it is slower than four corner basketball a shot clock in basketball. However, baseball can be almost as slow as soccer at times.
Yep, I use to coach Little League and girl's youth softball.
I used to umpire Little League games. You think you had it bad? Just try being an umpire. Those kids mothers cussed me out worse than any of the fathers...

SI just asked about the slow pace of baseball games. And I love baseball too (my Dodgers WILL come back!)

Did you wear a bullet proof vest?
If he was in the Bay Area, maybe. There was a shooting at a Little League game in Vallejo this year.
Sad, I do not even remember any scores from the youth games. I do remember some kids building and improving their character, however. And kids having fun and building character is what it should be about.

Ban soccer, seriously???
