Will Seahawk Mania Steal Attention from Husky Stadium's New Era Season?

The irony in the paragraph made me LOL and ROTFLMAO!!

"And your suggestion that soccer is for people that like "orange slices and juice boxes" is yet another example of ignorance. Basically you're saying that soccer is not a competitive sport. Frankly, I don't really like watching soccer (except for the World Cup), nor do I like it when players pretend to be hurt by falling on the ground and writhing in pain."

Euro soccer is incredibly racist. Passion likes soccer. Is this causation? Where's causation superiority guy?

In general, Europe, in general is more racist that the US at this point. Euro loving libs like to forget this....

"Your posts just get more and more ignorant. I don't know what part of northern idaho you call home, but if you're going to say things like "soccer is for euro wannabe hipster douchebags," then you should expect a response that points out that it is fast becoming a mainstream sport in the United States.

But that is different than saying it's not competitive, or physically demanding.

Try to think a little more before posting. Just a suggestion"

Your posts just get more and more indicative that this site may just not be for you.

Try lightening up a little bit before posting. Just a suggestion.

Simply not true. You need to check the facts.

The Seahawks will get attention if they are winning.

The Huskies will get attention if they are winning.

The Sounders will get attention if they are winning.

Shit, I'm sure even the Mariners could pull 30K to their games if they were winning.

People like winners. They want to pay to see winners play. It's a simple formula.

And yes, some people like to watch more than one sport. I loved watching my Blackhawks take Lord Stanley's Cup this year.

Of course. If any of our sports teams wins, attendance won't be a problem.

I was arguing with the assertion by man boobs that soccer and football draw a completely different group of people, and that soccer is limited to some fringe segment of society.

However, if UW football remains mired in mediocrity, people will consider other options for their entertainment dollars.

And I'd like to see figures for Damone's assertion that Portland has a "larger per capita soccer loving population than Seattle." Besides, per capita doesn't matter. It's sheer numbers that matter.

Your stupid ass took my generalization way too seriously. Of course there is some crossover...just look at pussies like The Glove, millcreekcoug, and MelloDawg for details.

Sadly, soccer is no longer a fringe sport because more and more of our society loves orange slices and juice boxes.

Newsflash: As long as soccer players act like little bitches, it's not a REAL sport. It may as well be figure skating on grass because choreography matters as much as actual athletic skill does.

Bonus newsflash: Soccer is gaining in popularity in the US because of demographic changes and because of the continuing pussification of this country, not because it's actually a great sport.

Extra newsflash: Water is wet.

Is there anything else I can clarify for you?

Yeah, but still.

Some people have a hard time explaining soccer. I don't think anyone can really explain soccer. Maybe Pele, but that's okay. Soccer is a lifestyle and a way of thinking... and it's not about money and popularity. Although, some money would be nice. But it's a voice that says, "Here I am... and fuck you if you can't understand me." And one of these people is gonna save the world. And that means that soccer can save the world... all of us together. And the chicks are great. But what it all comes down to is that thing. The indefinable thing when people catch something in your ability to kick the ball.

The night of the Boise game will generate such fresh excitement and nostalgia that the Huskies will enjoy a huge home field advantage. I feel confident the Dawgs will prevail by 10-14 points.

Derek, enjoyed your article but I'm not as confident as you are.

Look at Sark's track record, when has he ever defeated a decent opponent by more than two scores? I can only think of one time which was the Holiday Bowl against a team who obviously didn't want to be there.
