Why? What's going on in your head that you think "hey, there's a specific thread about a very specific subject, likely filled with people who want to talk about that specific subject, so I'll wander in and explain to all of them that it's boring and I don't like it".

Really. Come on. It happens here. It happens on other forums. It happens in every blog that has written about soccer. It happens on soccer forums, where people like you are considered trolls. It happens in the comment sections of newspaper and magazine websites.

Why? I mean, really, what is wrong with you? Soccer fans don't go wandering into football or baseball forums and start acting like that, so why the hell do you do it to soccer stories?

Honestly, there's got to be a reason, lay it out for me. Make me understand. You guys aren't normally such jerks, why does the word "soccer" suddenly make you a flaming idiot?

The reasons people post negative responses is because it IS A BORING spectator sport compared to American football plain abd simple. On a side note, many small schools in our area that were once football powerhouses often turn into losing teams due to some of the athletes choosing to play soccer instead of football. The community who once supported the football teams could care less about soccer and the end result is no support for either sports.
