Default I dare you all...

to go through this forum and look for threads containing "Soccer Bashers". This is ridiculous. Every time a writer criticizes soccer, I can always count on coming here to see "Tony Kornheiser bashes soccer" and "The New York Post hates soccer" threads. Why do we really car every time someone bashes soccer? Do you all have to immediatly flock here to let everyone know what you just heard or read. It enough.
The media always will bash soccer and we dont need to talk about it in 50 threads.

I dont intend on being rude here. I just think this is stupid.

People are way too sensitive these days I guess. I remember when people never talked about the sport wether for good or bad.

Those threads actually belong in the "Articles and Links" (or is it v-v?) subforum, but apparently no one knows it's there or realizes what it's for.

Ok, I'll take this bait.

It's simple. MLS is a business. It's not about sports, it's not about fun, it's about business. If you want to watch MLS soccer for much longer, it has to be a successful BUSINESS. The talking dogs that rip soccer are HURTING THE BUSINESS INTERESTS OF MLS. For that reason alone, I usually go after the anti-soccer dogs to cut them down and make them think twice about hurting THE BUSINESS INTERESTS OF MLS through their media outlet. Do I care about them personally? No. Will I ever care that they like soccer? NO. But I am determined to help MLS succeed AS A BUSINESS and so I attack the anti-soccer heads because they are anti-competitive IN A BUSINESS SENSE and they use their lucrative positions TO DAMAGE THE LEGITIMATE BUSINESS INTERESTS OF MLS.

Every time an antisoccer dog vents his spleen in a way that HURTS THE IMAGE OF SOCCER, MLS, OR OTHERWISE MAKES IT LESS DESIRABLE FOR ANYONE TO GIVE MLS MONEY, I'm going after them with my pen and ink. After all, it's all fair game, it's just business. I can say whatever I want, it's just business.

Get the picture now?

Why dont we just have official one thread for all soccer bashing stories. It will probably help the bigsoccer servers in some way at least. And we wont need to see 50 threads of it every day.

Because we feel hurt that our tastes have been insulted yet again, and since there are no other soccer fans around us to whom to seek comfort, we all go on BS and start whining about it, but also making ourselves feel better so we can go productively jerk around once again.

No, they are hurting themselves. Every time they point their fingers at soccer, they are pointing three fingers back at themselves. The same holds true for people who point at soccer bashers.

If the thread is identified appropriately by its title, and you feel that way, skip it. No one is holding a gun to your head and requiring you to read it.
