Belligerance, in any form, is immoral and wrong. BTW, I used to like to watch television. I don't like soccer (or any form of professional sports) because inevitably, indirectly or otherwise,

Unlike American football where the ball is somewhere under a huge pile of huge men who continue to pile on after the ball carrier has been totally mashed. It is amazing to see how accurately the players direct the ball with a foot to the place they want the ball to go. I only cringe when someone uses his head, literally, to hit the ball.

It is actually quite interesting to watch and one thing always amazes me - these people run ALOT and do so while jumping over each other, jumping as high as physically possible, and trying to break a defense and goalie. Now I'm a fan. I didn't like soccer until about two months ago when I got a job at a sports complex as a sports photographer.

French-bashing has also become quite predictable and tedious. Over a billion people around the world enjoy soccer. Don't watch it if you don't like it. There's many other sports to enjoy.
