Who is Bigsoccer?

[madhoman]

First of all, a quick thank you from all of us at Bigsoccer HQ. We know that the last couple of weeks have been a transition to the new boards, and we hope that you all like them. Judging from most of your encouraging comments, we think we're on the right track.

I had an interesting convesration today, when someone asked me...who is the average person on Bigsoccer? I told them the truth...there's no "type" of person that loves to talk about football. As I'm sure everyone has seen, we're surrounded by players, coaches, men, women, refs, administrators, parents, children, and well...from all walks of life.

So here's the question:
Who are you?

I'm a:
player
administrator
referee
supporter
fan
advocate
employee
and
lover of the game.

Juding by the posts that happen anytime a live game runs into an MLS broadcast, Tony Kornheiser makes fun of soccer, or ESPN fails to show a game, I'd say BigSoccer nation whines more than the Florida Democrats.
