Yes, congrats. With no other words around those statements, it looks like you have something there...
Your first post made no sense. Then you tried to get away from it. Then you tried again. You were incorrect originally and have done nothing to show otherwise.
If you are done adding anything of value to this attempt at making a point, then I might as well stop at all. It is easy to see when someone is backed into a corner, and at this point I wont get anything of value out of you.

I don't care...... I do not care .......doesn't matter.
Facts are facts. And your dumb post is still a dumb post.
I do not care...... I do not care.......
Exactly.....you said it!!!
Is there ANYTHING you dont feel compelled to argue about?.......oy.....
nobody cares about any of this....nobody, nobody, nobody......

I apologize for choosing to argue this one topic.

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..
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...
The statistics say otherwise.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...
Baseball has the highest fatality rate in kids 5-14 in all major sports including football. And also a higher injury rate. So there goes that argument.
It boils down to the pussification of America and that not much skill is needed to lightly jog around and kick a ball back and forth. More specific mechanics are needed early on for baseball vs soccer. And parents anymore would rather stare at their phones then play catch with their kids.

was running 7 min miles my last 2 years in the army. a friend who was Ft. Devens soccer team goalie needed an emergency stand-in for a player who was running late to base so they didn't forfeit a playoff berth. i played for about 10 minutes and was dying. not as easy as you think.
And parents anymore would rather stare at their phones then play catch with their kids.
agree 100%. thanks you madden playing assholes.

Lets not over Die sect this (and every statement). KIDS 5-12. Ever accidently been hit By a Baseball that a young Kid usually can't control at that Age. Now try a Soccer ball, the physicality part usually comes at later years. When THEY drive Mini Vans with there own Kids or Jr. High
Some parents with YOUNG children Wussify there child's activities when it comes to sports.. Done and GO BROWNS. WOOF WOOF !! Browns & Buffett: Got to go fishin, Down to rock bottom again, with just a few Friends -
I was at a little league round robin(Tris Speaker league)...maybe 75-76ish.....at JCU ball fields(all dorms now)....and 10 yr pitcher takes one back straight to the chest...dead instantly....no shit....
Though...after 12 years of meets, touring and training with my daughter....I gotta say the most dangerous sport for kids is gymnastics....hands down....I watched her smash into wood beams, vaults and fall 10 to12 feet on a daily basis....regularly injured....and just get up and do it again......over and over and over.......brutal brutal shit and tons of pain just to learn this stuff and get through practice.....
She was way WAY tougher than her football playing boy friend....

well I'm talking about the kids not adults. Most kids can run for a long stretch and not even phase them... Especially mine.was running 7 min miles my last 2 years in the army. a friend who was Ft.

Highest fatality rate for youth sports seems like something based on a very small sample size. Enough kids with unknown heart conditions play and you could be leading.
Where is your data to say it has a higher injury rate? I would like to see that.
You clearly know nothing about playing soccer. "Lightly jog around and kick a ball"... haha ok. Whereas in baseball, when on offense, you're sitting down or standing at a base the majority of the time. On defense you're standing around the majority of the time. By "team sport" maybe 3 people work together on a given "play". Yep, baseball is much more "manly" and "intense". If only more kids played baseball, then there would be no "wussification"....

As far as injuries go (though I am not in the "youth group"), over the past 6 months or so I have fractured my thumb and separated my shoulder playing soccer. Not exactly the worst injuries ever, but I had to go get checked out. This is just a somewhat competitive level too. Oh, and I broke/tore something in a guy's ankle. Something to put him in a boot for awhile.
I've coached my cousin's soccer team for a few years now, and she has moved her way up to travel soccer. Between that and some club games, these girls get physical. It definitely isn't just prancing around, and they're only 11.
The idea that you just job around lightly for 60 to 90 minutes is pretty damn ignorant. You make contact, you play physical. Where, again, the vast majority of any contact in baseball is an accident.
Also, great MLS game on right now between LA and NE on Fox Sports

So how do you coach soccer Woodly?
How are the plays drawn up? Strategies used?
I was told that if soccer appears to you as a bunch of guys kicking a ball up and down the field, then you understand soccer.

Between the Men's WC last year, the Women's WC this year, the 2016 Copa America tourney being held in the US, (and potentially the 2022 WC), growing popularity of the EPL, growing popularity and expansion of the MLS, bringing older overseas stars to the MLS, shifting US demographics to ethnicities that watch soccer, etc etc etc
Among 12-24 year old in the US, Messi is their 4th favorite athlete and Ronaldo is their 7th.
Or this graphic from a few years ago, showing Pro Soccer as the 2nd favorite sport among 12-24 year olds
Soccer is growing in popularity in this country, whether some want to admit it or not.
On the other hand....
On the other hand Baseball is dying a slow death. The average fan is getting older and older as kids today become less interested in the sport. I find the sport incredibly boring, and look forward to it becoming much less relevant. Watching the same Top 10s all summer, a variation of maybe three different plays in baseball, gets incredibly old...

No doubt. I think a big part of that is baseball is a game of failure. Even when you do great, you fail around 60% of the time. Todays parents and kids can't deal with failure. Face it, any clumsey kid can manage to kick a ball. "Good job Johnny, you kicked a ball!"
If everybody had like minds, we would never learn. -

Exactly. I started playing little league in Brookside park when I was around 7 or so. Baseball is a game of skill. Soccer you need to be able to run and have aerobic endurance, plus kick, but that is about it.

Yes, I'm sure all of the fat kids love baseball...
If you think there is no skill involved with soccer, even at a young age, you again have no idea what you're talking about.
Yes, at a young age the "skill factor" plays less of a role as pure athleticism, but it still matters a good bit. If swinging a bat and throwing a ball are your gold standard for skill, I'm not sure how you couldn't give credit to dribbling, passing, shooting, defending, etc.
