    Because suburban mothers don't want their little kids playing with Negroes at the city park.

    12-24 as well... As we can see in the data I posted earlier.

    Even as a joke this really doesn't make sense. Based on demos in the suburbs, where these parks/fields exist, and who is playing what sport.

    And with Moms who own mini vans.....

    It's darn near replaced little league, thats for sure.

    Personally, I always loved playing baseball, but think it is boring a hell to watch......zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

    Are the Moms with the Mini Vans with Children from 5-12 also thinking, Less likely of injuries in soccer than Baseballs thrown by kids below age of 12?? Some Parents choose to wussify kids these days and possible flow chart has got to be out there..

    Well it isn't a joke and its not mean spirited. suburban moms don't want their kids competing and playing against tougher inner city school teams. soccer seems safer to them. football? It's a little rough.

    Well, that isn't what you said. You said suburban moms don't want their kids competing against black kids in the city park, as a response to a post saying soccer is popular for kids 5-`12.

    - Football was never mentioned originally. Of course football is more physical, no matter is who you're playing. I was only ever comparing soccer and baseball, which is why your comment made no sense to me. It seems like your whole comparison was meant to be football vs soccer, which is fine, but that wasn't how you stated it. You basically just said mom''s have their kids play soccer because they dont want them playing with black kids in a city park. Which is incorrect on multiple levels...

    Football is a collision sport

    Soccer is a contact sport

    Baseball is a "maybe there is some light contact, and anything big is generally an accident, like two outfielders running into each other, or a wild pitch"

    I am not sure how you could list baseball as more physical than soccer...

    I loved playing Olympics in gym. I know a kid that played travel Olympics. I wasn't bad at Olympics either....

    Now you are coming off as simply stupid. Is that your intent?

    You're confusing soccer growing and baseball dying with soccer being more popular than baseball, which I never said.

    I didn't confuse shit. I said you are just flat out wrong and you can't accept that.

    The graphs above show a sport with an aging fan base that isn't being replaced with a younger audience. That doesn't paint a good picture for MLB.

    And I have seen other graphs that show many young people just as interested in baseball.

    On the other hand soccer is growing in popularity, especially among the younger audience.

    Yet...many more of them go to baseball games than go to soccer games.

    I have/ younger kids. around your age. I have ever once ever heard them ask me to take them to a soccer game. But they did want to go to an Indians game on many occassions.

    Maybe if Cleveland had a team there would have been some interest. Not sure.

    My intent was to poke fun at your graph from earlier.

    What am I wrong about? What evidence do you have to show I am wrong?

    Show me those graphs that show young people just as interested in baseball...

    I hate baseball, but I have been to more Indians games than pro soccer matches (0 pro matches, but some college games and 1 international game). You know why? It is readily available and pretty cheap. I imagine if I lived in Cbus I would have gone to some crew games. My friends went, I was invited, and after the game we hung out downtown. Hardly anyone at a baseball game even watches the game anyway, based on my experience. Of course, there being more people attending baseball overall (more matches, more stadiums, more teams) which probably means more young kids (probably, you'd need to provide data) doesn't mean much in the context of what we were talking about. I have provided numerous pieces of evidence showing the decline in baseball and growth in soccer. What do you have...?

    ... the Gippper "old man" special, anecdotal evidence. Congrats, your kids didn't want to go to a soccer match for the pro team that didn't exist in Cleveland. That settles the debate then...

    Alright, it looks like you didn't follow along.

    Your comment made no sense. You said soccer is popular among 5-12 year olds because parents don't want them getting hurt by negroes in city parks.

    You then went on to mention football.

    1) this is soccer vs baseball, no football involved

    2) most 5-12 year olds aren't playing across multiple cities

    3) if they don't want them getting hurt (you later said compared to football), baseball would still be an option. Hell, it would be a safer option.

  • I'm sure there's one thing everyone can agree on...soccer is for kids and pussies.

  • Bullshit Woodrow. Look I don't begrudge your love of a sport that bores most of us shitless. It's the only one I can think of with as many girls playing but...

    If suburban kids are playing sports de los pro football and baseball will naturally fall to soccer.

    I don't care how you feel about the sport. I do not care what preconceived notions and biases you have. That doesn't matter.

    Facts are facts. And your dumb post is still a dumb post.

    Idk how many times I need to say this, I was never comparing football and soccer. Your stupid comment regarding suburban moms and black kids, which then morphed into comparing soccer to football, means nothing. This was soccer vs baseball. How you could see baseball as more physical/dangerous is beyond me.

    What comments are you making now? How will you continue to walk away from your original post. You just keep bringing up more and more statements that don't relate to your original post at all.

    I do not care if you do not like soccer. I do not care if your knowledge of the sport and those who play it is next to nothing. Just try to stay on topic with your original post, or admit you were wrong to begin with.
