Why is soccer the world's sport?

[MikeyC]

Alright ya'll need to stop


America is the richest nation in the world, with quite literally thousands upon thousands of sports/hobbies to watch and play. Why in the world do we have to be force fed a sport with people running back and forth that ends in a 0-0 tie? Fortunately for baseball, its 'America's Pastime', or that boring ass game would also be in the bushes.



Youre right- if rich and prospering nations like Brazil and Venezuela play soccer, something gotta be wrong with us right?Again, the expansion and popularity of soccer greatly coincides with the age of imperialism.

Look at Japan or China- which were largely independent during imperalism. While they enjoy soccer, it is certainly not their #1 sport.

Venezuela play soccer?

Japan and China independant during imperialism?

Get yo facts correct, and then come at us, breh

The weirdest thing about soccer to me is which countries its not popular in. Basically the larger British colonies. Sports distribution is always interesting to me. Like why are motorsports and basketball so popular in Spain. Its obvious in places like Italy or Germany, but why Spain with motorsports? Why Baseball in Japan and Korea? Yes, soccer is popular, but its not the most popular everywhere. Consider its lack of popularity in India, China and the US. That's a huge chunk of the world population.

I think it's partially to do with colonialism but (and not to sound racist or anything) mostly to with them not being physically strong enough, cos I know for a fact them Southeast Asian brehs absolutely love football, yet we have never had a a top level player come from those shores. I can only think of Raja Nianggolan, Giovanni Van Bronkhorst and David Alaba who are of southeast asian heritage.

The European Union is richer than the USA, and they have more physical superiority (in terms of weight / height) than USA and they play soccer.

haven't spent much time in the US or watching our sports as opposed to looking at a stat sheet. Guess I'm saying look at the people that play sports for any nation, not the overall population. There are so many factors.

And why do people compare a group of nations vs a nation?

slept-on post. Soccer is an artifact of monarch worship. The truth is, baseball, football, and basketball are far superior on a mathematical level. It takes a higher level of intelligence to understand why these 3 sports are superior to soccer in pretty much every technical category and metric of what constitutes competitive sports. Which is why it's no surprise that soccer appeals to the lowest common denominator


for people saying that means I'm saying soccer can't be fun: wrong. Fast food is extremely popular because it is cheap and tastes great to a lot of people (here, taste is an analogue to "fun"), but that doesn't stop clean eating (which can also taste great if done right) from being much more nutritious and biologically desirable body.

Typical why is this sport so popular we aren't the best at it thread

Murica

we are not the best at baseball or hockey but you will never see me agreeing with a thread lashing out at those 2 sports

First of all, Football is a p*ssy and boring copy of Rugby that was created in England... So you can apply that stupid fact of "Monarch worship" to it too... Baseball is a fat and more boring copy of cricket (It is eally hard to be more boring than cricket, but Baseball achieved it easily, congratulations)... So you can apply the same to it.

Basketball... Well basketball is so stupid that if Michael Jordan was 1.80 meters (5'11'') height, he would never had played Basketball because the sport is so stupid that you just need to be tall to play well, talent does not matter.
