Ummm, no. It's players too. You would know that if you took 2 seconds to read.TheGlove said:

You said European Soccer, which would include the clubs, leagues and governing bodies. Next time if you mean fans, type fans.

Point taken. I respect those guys because they don't flop either. They take pride in being a tough team, same with the Brits.PurpleJ said:
I should have said, soccer in America is for pussies. The fans are pathetic too. If I wanted to sing, I would join an acapella group, not watch a soccer game.

That's because soccer in America is geared towards a political agenda. Obama once said that having another World Cup here would be a "diplomatic coup" (https://youtube.com/watch?v=ZeCZOTFfOcA). The President of the USSF wasn't even a professional player. He was a fucking economics professor. Maybe that is where some of that perception comes from.RoadDawg55 said:

It isn't supposed to be a full-fledged collision sport, otherwise it would be a complete shit show. Some of the rules in the game were made to stop it from being a mob of 22 players kicking the shit out of each other. They decided that it wouldn't be very fun to watch like that, and I agree.
America is about 100 years behind the rest of the world in their understanding of the game, but look what happened when we actually got an ex-pro as our coach. All of a sudden we are beating teams like Germany and Italy, and crushing the shit-tier nations in our confederation by scores of 6-1.
As for the fans in America, well fuck. You got a bunch of wannabe Euros that try to fit in by singing and wearing scarves. Why are they wearing a scarf when the MLS plays in the summertime? Do they know that most major European clubs sing and chant horribly politically incorrect things on a regular basis? Or that the most of the songs they sing have been around for years and are ingrained in the culture of the club/township? And don't even get me started on the salary cap nonsense in MLS. The Euro teams don't have time for that shit. It is full-fledged market capitalism and the rich teams are rich for a reason.
So yeah, American soccer is a joke to most other countries. That doesn't make it a pussy sport by any means. Otherwise you would have to stop watching baseball, basketball, golf, etc. Pretty much any sport besides football and hockey would be a pussy sport by that definition. -
The first link was about racism within UEFA (the European governing body).TheGlove said:
and neither of those links support Damone's statement.TierbsHsotBoobs said:

http://espnfc.com/blog/_/name/espnfcunited/id/6247?cc=5901
do you guys even read the shit you type? do you even read the shit you link?
forget it, rhetorical questions.
The second link was about the tolerance of racism by European club owners.
You wanted links about the racism within the clubs, leagues (Serie A anyone?), and governing bodies. I gave you links, and now you are whining that the links didn't support Damone's statement that Euro divegrass is incredibly racist?
Even Passion fucking stupid thinks you're missing the point. -
Any sport were players are regularly taken off the field on a stretcher and then reenter the game is by definition full of pussies. If you get hauled off on a stretcher you should be lucky to show up in the next game. Let alone the same game.PurpleJ said:

But there is something to be said for someone who will fake an injury to gain a competitive advantage (i.e. getting an opposing ejected or to get a free kick).
I'm guessing you didn't know that FIFA started handing out cards and suspensions for diving. Either way, a lot of players still do it because the competitive advantage outweighs the potential punishments. Just like in the NBA.
