  • I only watched the Olympic version and whIle it can be an amusing diversion I wasn't vested in it at all. I do expect it to pick up steam here in light of the concussion concerns in football but that's for my kids to deal with.

    I happened to google arsenal because it was only one of two English soccer teams I've ever heard of. The other was Manchester united. Upon googling them I noticed they were the tenth ranked team in the world. Nothing more than that.

    I kind of like the name though: Arsenal. Sounds "tough". You know: this is where we keep stuff that blows shit up. How did they get the name?

    FYI.....I heard the statistic: more kids here get concussions playing soccer than do playing football. I don't know if kids are kicking each other in the head a lot or what. In football at least they wear a helmet for protection.

    They were originally workers from the woolwich arsenal 'guns n shit' factory.

    That's one thing I like about soccer, the teams have organic roots, like west ham as we talked about before.

  • I like their nickname..... "The Gunners" but I don't like them as a team though

  • I didn't realize Columbus had a team. If they do, and you didn't just make that up, I hope they win.

    is that considered Support?

    They do have a team, I did not make it up....they played for the MLS title, but lost to Portland.

  • Well, with this move....and the move of the Rams also to LA.....guess who may be in line to fill the void in those cities: yes, the "gay" sport. The MLS is looking at being at 28 teams by around 2020-2022.

    Prime MLS expansion targets are: St. Louis, which the NFL abandoned, Sacramento...which, if the Raiders move to LV, it along with Oakland which constitutes the "East Bay" fan base of the Raiders. San Antonio/Austin, Raleigh, Tampa, Detroit....and now, I suspect San Diego could easily be high on the list to put an MLS team in. Huge Hispanic, soccer oriented population....no competing "real" football team.

    The MLS is already in the largest 3-4 non NFL markets: Portland, Orlando, Columbus, Salt Lake

    Going into Sacramento and San Diego and San Antonio and St. Louis and Raleigh would put them into like 8 of the 30-32 largest Metropolitan areas in the US....with no NFL competition in those markets (plus they are in Toronto and Montreal)

    The largest metro area in the country that an MLS team is not in is Detroit (#10 largest metro area)...and Detroit is also on the target list for MLS expansion.

    If an MLS team went into Detroit, guess which metropolitan area would be the largest without an MLS team? Answer: Cleveland/Akron/Canton.

  • Couldn't resist?

  • Is "soccer" gay? Is this a trick question? 😆

    Soccer, recess for big kids.

    GO BUCKEYES, BROWNS, INDIANS, CAVS, YSU, NAVY and yes I like ND!

  • The point of my post above is that I think it is unjustifiable for the NFL to cede those markets mentioned above to the "gay" sport.

    Of the 25 largest metropolitan areas in the USA, the NFL is absent from 6 of them.

    After proposed expansion, the MLS will be absent only from at most 2-3, including Cleveland

  • Yea soccer's pretty gay

    Seriously? Have you been paying any attention at all? Baseball had perhaps its finest moment in decades just now. It had basically unprecedented ratings. It had record attendance. It had 5 million people show up for a victory parade.

    Do you think 5 million people would have shown up for a soccer team championship parade?

    Soccer is growing.

    I am the one that pointed out that soccer could/should perhaps fill the void in places that the NFL is abandoning/ignoring....like San Diego, East Bay, San Antonio, St. Louis, etc.

    But beyond that, your statement is what is ignorant.

    MLB Baseball and even NFL football has had issues with TV viewership and Gameday attendance particularly with the younger groups in particular the Millenials who have around a 10 second attention span and go crazy while the teams go into the dugout between innings or the pitcher shakes off a pitch. 😆

    Plus they can't manage at all unless they have their cell phone to take selfies and text talk to someone....maybe try a pacifier? All not great for selling tickets.

    However there has been some improvement in MLB attendance as of late but we'll have to see if that continues.

    Oh and why are more kids going into "soccer".... mommy won't let them play football. 😉
