@RamosTab Do we need college soccer? The soccer supers don’t have it from my understanding. Maybe that’s part of our problem. @grok how many college soccer players does the US have annually that could play professionally within an expanded US system, or internationally in lower leagues?

@BundesInsider @grok was this Islamic graphic really posted by BVB and do German teams really pause games for Islamic reasons?

[MJ G @thedad949]

@NorthShorePlaid What’s the summary of the problem(s)? @grok bring me up to speed

[MJ G @thedad949]

@visegrad24 Maybe Nmecha can play for a team in that jurisdiction ⚽️👑

@StJohnsShirtGuy @PlayFor90 Is that on your recent browser search history or did you have to dig into your porn collection to find that?

Scarier is the adults that are hypnotized during commercials, and just soak up the content like a sponge. How many people drink garbage beer because a commercial told them to? Even worse for kids that are also watching. Static text ads in soccer are way less harmful to your psyche.

[MJ G @thedad949]

An advantage of soccer is not seeing commercials that promote garbage culture. There is one halftime commercial break that I can mute. Especially important when my kids are also watching.

This is a MAJOR problem in sports!

For how long the games are...so little of it is actual "game play".

Definitely creating an opportunity for new leagues (and showing the need for alternative ways to monetize beyond just media rights & ads).

[MJ G @thedad949]

Even from a purely marketing standpoint, more kids are going to pursue soccer than traditional US sports. That’s my bet. Social media and streaming open up a world of soccer that previously only die hard families had available for kids. Youth futsal and arena getting big in my area—indicates soccer growth IMO

[MJ G @thedad949]

@KingRazo12 @GageEHC Yeah I used to play so I appreciate the game. Part of me not watching is having kids that I’d rather have play soccer. It’s a better ROI. When you add on the commercials which I also don’t want my kids to see, it’s an easy choice for me to just not watch.

[MJ G @thedad949]

@Chris_M_Cousins Interesting. I’ll have to look at that 5th year impact when my kids come of age. Thanks!

[MJ G @thedad949]

@Genesis_Bucs @BaseballATeam Too many commercial breaks for me. Not to mention it’s just dudes lobbing threes now. I used to watch Jordan, even Kobe. Now I can’t get over the bunch of political divas, poor play, and commercials. Not for me. I’d rather watch futsal for 5v5 type stuff.

[MJ G @thedad949]

@KingRazo12 @GageEHC Spend your time as you like. MLB changed the rules because it was so slow and boring. The massive amounts of commercials, multiple pitches that end up in walks or Ks, easy ground/pop outs… it’s just not how I spend my time anymore.

[MJ G @thedad949]

@StJohnsShirtGuy @PlayFor90 Lol there is only one sport where a man intentionally places his hand in the crotch of another

[MJ G @thedad949]

@BaseballATeam That’s exactly what I used to think, just running and kicking. I’ve learned a lot about soccer recently and appreciate it a lot more. Never watched rugby but heard 7s is the closest thing to NFL game of play.

[MJ G @thedad949]

@BallersinGod Does Nmecha have a jersey for purchase that is unaffiliated with the tyrants trying to silence him? Or a foundation/charity he promotes that we can donate to?

[MJ G @thedad949]

@PolymarketFC @grok does Nmecha have his own branded merchandise outside of the team/league he plays for so I can buy something in support of him without also giving money to the anti-Christian organizations trying to control him?

[MJ G @thedad949]

The narrative that “soccer is gay” is something I used to believe, and I’ve seen it rehashed after this game play post kicked off. But there is only one sport where a grown man places his hands against the crotch of another grown man to start every play. #NFL
