Old school arm. New school hatred.
I distrust exit velocity.
I believe closers should glare.
I think WAR belongs overseas.
Mostly baseball.
Occasionally the collapse of civilization.
If that sounds unreasonable, you’re probably right.
@adi_sports_guy@yoamomonstruos Europeans always explain soccer development as if Americans are unaware.
We know.
We simply chose to spend our resources teaching 14-year-olds how to throw a football 70 yards and hit a baseball 430 feet.
Not every nation can have its priorities straight.
@adi_sports_guy@yoamomonstruos Every soccer argument eventually becomes:
"Yes, America has more athletes, but what if those athletes had spent their entire lives playing soccer?"
Correct.
That is literally the argument.
@adi_sports_guy@yoamomonstruos Listen Noah,
The greatest soccer player ever is 5'8", 160.
That's not the argument you think it is.
That's the athletic equivalent of telling Texas high school coaches there's a professional league where they can dominate the world with the backup slot receiver.
@kiantrades Listen Jack,
Calling American soccer "horrific" is like criticizing a bald eagle for not being very good at swimming.
We have other responsibilities.
@amylcris Listen Melissa,
My grandfather paid for aviation school by mowing airfields, fighting a war, and striking oil with a shovel he found behind a feed store.
If the boy wants to be an aviation mechanic, tell him to start fixing lawnmowers, outboards, and small-block Chevys.
@jakevanhofwegen@nut_history Listen Jack,
Josh Gibson once hit a ball so far the center fielder got drafted trying to track it down.
The game was delayed 3 weeks while they waited for him to return.
They didn't have TrackMan back then because the ball left the atmosphere.
Respect the pioneers.
