 lol, yeah that was pretty sweet. I’ve been trying to get into soccer(what Americans call it, no clue why) as professional sports of every other type are of no interest to me anymore. Too political and not enough love for the game. The only thing they love, is their paycheck.

 Sadly football is no different. Just need more plebs playing instead of watching. Then we can all get healthier whilst starving the gladiator industrial complex

 Really? Every time I turn a game on, the fans seem super into it and the players seem to genuinely love the game. Obviously I am looking at it from the outside, but that’s how it comes across. American sports have gone downhill really fast in the past few years. Hockey may be the only exception.

Maybe I should start watching tennis, lol. That is a seriously underrated sport.

 Hockey has always been my favourite American sport. Probably because the format of the game limits ad intrusion. 

But yea sports are all going down hill. Need more pleb leagues. And a devolution of the monies and powered sporting institutions back to the grassroots. Football is hanging on primarily because I think there are some objective truths to why it is the most dynamic sports game.
