    Women’s soccer players should be paid more than men

    I enjoy Soccer. But here are some things that annoy me about going to a game:

    1) drums. These should be outlawed. Very annoying. If the crowd can’t make enough noise, then so be it.

    2) Womens soccer league. For some reason, lesbians feel that flying rainbow colored flags are a must at all of their games. Why make it about your issues? No one cares anymore. If you are gay, the so be it. Do what you want. But waving rainbow flags at a universal sporting event just isn’t right. Wave your teams flag...that’s what should be waved. What would happen if someone waved a Nazi flag at a soccer game? There would be an issue there.

    Drums and Rainbow flags have no place at a soccer match

    Quoted from TheLaw:

    Annnd shithead post of the day goes to...

    EDIT: Week?

    How is that shithead post? It’s true. Why wave rainbow flags at a soccer match? It’s not team colors or logos. Not necessary.

    It’s a political flag. I couldn’t think of another flag to bring up.

    I am not homophonic. You people are brainwashed. Just because one doesn’t agree with you, you label them something?

    Briniging political issues into sporting events will not have positive outcomes. Watch the long term effects for the NFL.

    All I am saying is that an army of rainbow flags being waved at a woman’s soccer match, they are not being waved to support one team or another, but are being waved to support a social agenda. And that is not right.

    Back to actual Soccer talk..

    Quite possibly the next best soccer player in the world is an American. Christian Pulisic. He currently plays in the German league with Dortmund. Unfortunately, there’s not enough around him to see him on the world stage next year.

    Quoted from TheLaw:

    You're literally doing what you claim other people are doing by assuming people with rainbow flags are lesbians.

    Real smoooth

    Ok. What does a rainbow flag represent in your world?

    Quoted from Gov:

    The kid is great, but time will tell if he becomes as good as you say. Lets hope he does. He is exciting to watch, that is for sure.

    Gov gets it. Yes, only time will tell. But he’s gotta be the brightest spot in USMNT right now. They were hacking the crap out of him against Panama. Pulled early to avoid injury. Such a shame they couldn’t get past Trinidad and Tobago to see his more time with the team and what they could have done in the Cup.

    Quoted from 85vett:

    I don't get it... what is so complicated about the offside rule in soccer and hockey.
    Soccer - You can't be behind the second to last defender when the ball is passed to you.
    Hockey - The offensive player can't be passed the line prior to the puck.
    What's complicated about the above?

    Exactly
