    Literally nobody I know cares about this.

    Doesn't mean nobody will, but it's just not on the radar. All the soccer fans I know couldn't care less about the U.S. team and are more into teams from where either they or their ancestors were born.

    Quoted from Blitzburgh99:

    Prices on WCS94 will tank

    True, and Zidware's WCS '18 might be dead in the water.

    Quoted from cosmokramer:

    Almost nobody gives a shit...
    Soccer cannot be forced down the throat of the USA...neither can the WNBA, no matter how much people try...

    I think you miss the point of the WNBA. It's an extremely cheap night out for families and a great thing for parents to do with their daughters and lesbians to do on dates. I wasn't aware it was being forced down anybody's throat haven't seen an ad for it for ages.

    Quoted from Blitzburgh99:

    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

    LOL

    so really, all of the lesbians are keeping you away from the Women's Soccer League games you'd be going to otherwise?

    Quoted from Blitzburgh99:

    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.

    Why bring up a bunch of homophobic bullshit for absolutely no reason and make the unbelievably stupid comparison of rainbow flags to swatstikas? Not necessary.

    It's nuts to me how some seemingly innocuous threads bring out the idiots en masse. Like...you never see it coming!

    Oh, a thread called "My Wife is throwing a tupperware party," I think I'll click on it and see what...

    YIKES!!!
