Lightbulb Here's the real reason.......

It's true that the vast majority of Americans don't give a rat's patoot about soccer (and, no - it's not football no matter what you say). Why?

1) it wasn't invented by an American or Canadian
2) it's boring
3) all the players whine like Rasheed Wallace whenever someone even thinks about touching them
4) there's not enough violence (on the field, er, excuse me all to heck - on the pitch)
5) no one ever scores
6) there's not enough equipment associated with the game to make endorsements worthwhile
7) they use the word "nil"
8) the shorts they wear look like they come from the "Richard Simmons" collection at Wal-Mart
9 and 10) it's totally "Euro" and that sucks

You knew I'd get that last one in somehow.
