If it had not been soccer it would have been a four way stop. Destiny. Call it.

Just watched, "No Country for Old Men."

[dawgs]

Damn, you're coming off really petty and immature here coach.

[I seen it dawg]

Soccer is only boring to those ignorant on the sport, which in inherently a result of being closed minded.

Being ignorant on the sport does not necessarily mean they are close minded. It might just mean they took one look at it and decided they thought it was stupid so they chose to never like it. People do that with all sports.

[CadaverDawg]

no- I've always hated soccer because it is boring as shit. It went to a new level when it cost me my best Player because he is playing that stupid shit during football season. If we lost Prescott for 3 weeks because he was playing soccer on a Sunday before the LSU game- people would go apeshit.

The he kid playing that stupid shit got hurt, and selfishly cost his team a playoff berth. And his teammates won't ever forget that.

I always hate to open these threads because I know someone will piss and moan like you just slapped their mother over someone not liking soccer.

People just need to quit taking Coach not liking soccer so personal. Sack up. I know guys who don't like football and would rather watch soccer, but I don't friggen cry over it we bring it up.

People arent mad about that. At least I'm not. It had like 5 posts until he basically said this kid was selfish for playing soccer. That's what people are jumping on, not that he won't watch the World Cup.

I don't know about hating on the kid for playing soccer. I just don't care for soccer. I am cool with people wanting to watch it and enjoy it. Nothing wrong with that. I just don't dig it myself.

And I think most soccer fans feel the same. I do. If you don't like it that's great, but why try to piss people off that do. Which you aren't doing, and thank you for that.

But again, that's not why people are cursing coach34

This. It's pretty important to understand why the "pro soccer" crowd is talking shit here. It's not a "let's berate people that don't like soccer because we think we are better/smarter/more worldly/whatever", it's purely because he's being butthurt about a HS kid playing multiple sports and getting hurt playing a ***** sport.

I went to a 3A school and quit all sports other than basketball to focus on that sport in high school, mainly because I loved that sport the most. There were many other great athletes at my school (and schools in our league) who played multiple sports. Some even played soccer and football (oh the horror)!!! All this does is further prove Coach is the narcissist we all thought. The kid doesn't live for you, coach. It's his life. You, like every other high school coach in the country, should deal with injuries and personnel as they come. It just sounds to me like you didn't adjust well and need someone to blame it on. It's fine if you don't like soccer, but don't be a d-bag and have a lifetime full of hatred because a kid got hurt. But I'm sure you're convinced he hurt himself on purpose to prove a point, so I'm glad you're still mad 20 years later. **

He had November to July to play all the ******* soccer he wanted. You dont play another sport when you are involved in a major sport. It's stupid. You put your body at too much risk. This kid was was running the football 15 times per game on Friday nights and playing 60 plays on defense. He was getting hit and beat on- then going and playing soccer the next damn morning. And guess what? He got hurt because of it.

Sports shouldnt be about "play everything you can". Your body needs an offseason to rest and train. Shit, I loved shooting a basketball and was damn good at it- but there just wasnt time between playing football and baseball.

either way, if this is your story, this makes the kid stupid, not soccer

I don't agree that the kid is stupid, but that's like blaming the gun for a shooting.

Nobody cares that he doesn't like soccer. You don't like soccer either, and who cares? It's just the over the top crap he's posting that everyone is responding to. Which, I guess, makes us all suckers, because that's exactly the response he is trying to elicit.

You can not like a sport without rooting against your country and being a complete ****ing dickwad about it. Huge ****ing difference.

And to add, if one player cost you a spot in the playoffs, you were a shitty coach to begin with.

^^^^^ This is my thought exactly. My senior year in basketball, we lost our best post player to a torn ACL while he was still playing football. It was unfortunate for us, but our coach did a great job of hiding our weaknesses and playing to our strengths, and we won a division title because of his coaching.

If God has a sense of humor, Coach will have a son that plays soccer for Ole Miss one day
