I dunno, there's a few really bad sports out there.
I like that it's international. I think it's a really cool way to embrace other cultures and see how humans from all over the world are much better athletes than me.

I think the sport itself is okay. Its just... paying someone millions of dollars to fake an injury while playing a schoolyard game is not cool IMO. Like any "Pro" sport for that matter...

Ya, not after you ruined it for Americans! Now calling football "soccer" is the one thing that makes Americans look really dumb to the rest of the world!

My personal take is that sports are a lot more fun to play than to watch. Like I actually enjoy fucking around on a field playing Soccer/Football, but watching it on TV? Good God I'm so bored lol

Definitely not the only thing, but ok.

I actually agree with the money part there. It's not right how they get paid more than doctors or nurses who save lives.

Apparently it was a slang term originally. "Association Football" vs "Rugby Football" became "'ssoc-er" and "rugby". The term "soccer" became interchangeable with football in England around the time the US became more interested in the sport, and then the term became less popular and eventually not used at all in England.
America, however, established it as the "American Soccer Football Association", eventually dropping the Football term to avoid confusion with the already then established sport of American Football.
In conclusion, the British ruin everything they touch.

I took a shot at sarcasm on reddit without a /s. This usually results in downvotes. Let's see how it plays out.

American Football is just effeminate Rugby and Soccer is just homoerotic edging running around playing grabass to charge up for orgies.

Soccer is literally the worst sport.
