Does anyone actually care or watch this crap. Hard to believe anyone considers soccer a sport. It was intended to be a respite for baby sitters. It requires little to no expenditures to equip a player. It will occupy a players time for hours. All kid’s can play it, as it requires little to no talent. Any game which does not allow the use of one’s hands is not a sport. If you can, stand, trot, and kick, you’re a natural. No wonder selfish soccer mom’s love it. Do parents actually think Rapinho is a great role model? Good grief.
Yes the barriers to entry are low, almost non-existant. That does not make it note worthy. Large numbers of people conduct many activities that require little talent, but are not true sports. Rugby, which requires about the same amount of equipment is a sport. You can use your hands. Maybe they could teach soccer players that it’s OK to use your hands and physicality (collision between players) is a great part of the game.

But by all means, different strokes.
