GET LOSE, YOU CAN'T COMPARE WITH MY POWERS
So in response to your "LOL U JUST A DRUNK FRAT BOY U NOT SMART ENUFF FOR DA HARDCORE GAMES LIKE BASEBALL!" or whatever the gently caress I have this to say in return: gently caress you in your stupid loving rear end, you whiny little bitch. If you hate soccer and the people who play it so much, get the gently caress out of the thread. You don't see us going into the baseball thread and calling everyone anime faggots or something. So just shut your stupid loving mouth, if you can do that even. I know it's hard cause you've usually got a million cocks in it.

By the way, much like DOTA, at least soccer has never turned my city into a cluster gently caress of rear end in a top hat tourists driving and walking poorly. But that's because this is America and the majority of us are smart enough to realize how loving stupid soccer is so we don't have to worry about that. But it seems like we aren't smart enough to realize how lovely baseball is, so gently caress America, I guess?

E: I stand by every word of that original post, Jeffrey.

THB I think baseball is just a reason to get drunk.

Watch or go to a baseball game and the first thing everyone says is "let's get drunk as gently caress so this incredibly slow and boring game seems interesting!" Then they precede to ignore the game entirely except to drunkenly yell on the off chance that something exciting actually happens.

Why would anyone go to a sport they don't really like to pay ridiculous prices for beer when they could watch something they do like and drink cheaper beer elsewhere?

I really don't know. I mean, I get being a "fan" and living through professional athletes vicariously. But seriously, how many baseball fans (who aren't children) actually play baseball themselves or can watch an entire game sober? Not many I bet.

Yeah, the baseball itself is cheap, I know that. But the prices for beer and poo poo at stadiums is loving insane. Like $8 for a little loving cup of beer. Who would pay that?

Maybe at your scumbag stadium.

Or quit whining and go to a AA/AAA game where the beers are like 3 bucks and it's more chilled out anyway.

Hockey is just ice soccer, but I would be ok with it if fights were encouraged instead of looked down on. That one time the dude got his throat cut by the other guys skate was pretty loving metal, though.

I played baseball when I was a kid. Left field. It was boring as gently caress because none of those pussy rear end kids couldn't hit it out far enough for me to actually have something to do. I spent most of my time making sure the 3rd and 2nd basemen didn't gently caress up.

My job involves driving, and having to get around down there was hell. Luckily I ended up out in the suburbs for most of today. This thread was posted while I was sitting in traffic, at a dead stop, for 15 minutes, though.
