Not soon enough. Soccer is so fucking obnoxious.

@BlueMetalChick no it isn't
BlueMetalChick · 26-30, F
@Chimperator Yes, yes it is. Soccer is the ultimate pussy sport.
BlueMetalChick · 26-30, F
@Chimperator Actually I take that back, it's the penultimate pussy sport. The true ultimate is lacrosse. Fuuuuuuuuck lacrosse and anyone who plays it.
Chimperator · 26-30, M
No it isn't
BlueMetalChick · 26-30, F
@Chimperator Yes, yes it is. It's not even a real sport.

@BlueMetalChick do you have evidence to support such a claim?
Chimperator · 26-30, M
Lacrosse is pretty gay but soccer's alright
BlueMetalChick · 26-30, F
@SW-User Eh, kinda, but since this is an opinion-based conversation it's not as easy to determine what counts as "evidence." My opinion is still correct though.
Chimperator · 26-30, M
@BlueMetalChick yes it is a real sport
BlueMetalChick · 26-30, F
@Chimperator Soccer would be a lot more tolerable if the players weren't such drama queens. And if people didn't act as if it required the most athleticism of any sport.
Chimperator · 26-30, M
Soccer players run 10 kms a game, i agree with your point about the theatrical behaviour but saying it doesn't require athleticism? Preposterous
BlueMetalChick · 26-30, F
@Chimperator I said it doesn't require as much athleticism as most other sports. Or as many kinds of athleticism, too. Running...kicking? That's about it. And pretty much every sport requires running.
Chimperator · 26-30, M
Well you need to properly define athleticism first, because soccer player's have the most endurance after rugby and long distance runners

@BlueMetalChick Tiddlywinks doesn't 😂😂
BlueMetalChick · 26-30, F
@Chimperator The most endurance? Doubtful. If you open long distance running to the picture then sports like cross country skiing are gonna get involved and that shit is ridiculous.

Baseball, I think, has the most athletic skills required. Running, throwing, catching, and hitting are all essential. American football requires running, catching, and throwing, also tackling, and to a small extent kicking but that's usually only one guy on the team who does the kicking. Hockey is a bit different because you use a stick, so you need to be able to shoot, stick handle, pass, so on and so forth, and there's also skating ability, hitting because hockey is a full contact sport, and let's be honest, fighting is an essential hockey skill too. You need to know how to beat the shit out of someone.
Chimperator · 26-30, M
No it isn't.
BlueMetalChick · 26-30, F
@Chimperator That was the most vague reply ever. What are you saying "no it isn't" at?
Chimperator · 26-30, M
To your claim that soccer doesn't require much endurance, and that cross country skiing is more arduous than running around frantically for an hour and a half. And to mention the least physically demanding team sport which is baseball? Very cheeky indeed.
BlueMetalChick · 26-30, F
@Chimperator Well yeah, running around frantically for an hour and a half is not as arduous as trying to run through heavy snow while wearing four pound boots for over two hours.

I said baseball requires the most types of athleticism, not that it is the most physically demanding. Making up a false argument so you avoid the real one? Very cheeky indeed.
Chimperator · 26-30, M
Okay, let's set the athleticism issue aside. The reason soccer is the most widely played sport on the planet is partly due to how easily accessible it is, and the relative simplicity of the rules. What i'm trying to say is there is an obvious reason why it's so popular, calling it a pussy sport just because of your own personal opinion on the behaviour of some players is misleading and rather unwise.
BlueMetalChick · 26-30, F
@Chimperator Yes, now this is true. It's a pretty simple sport, it doesn't require a lot of specialized equipment like American football or hockey does, or even baseball. Two goals and a ball is about it.

I call it a pussy sport for two reasons, the first being the behavior of professional soccer players and their diving and pretending to be hurt. The second reason is because of the fans being drunken retards who talk about soccer as if it's some kind of testament to the highest tiers of human physical ability.
