The divide between Black Americans and Soccer [31min vid]

[intruder]

Hmm this was interesting. I played soccer when I was little, I don't even really remember why I stopped

It's also interesting how Soccer in America has become an upper middle class sport. In countries like Brazil u can see them poor kids in those favelas playing and everything

What's y'alls opinion on this?

You can always count on a racial angle to every discussion in America

Oh. You mean that game created by Europeans and dispersed throughout the world as a result of European Imperialism?


Naw, we good.

Arent white Americans and Canadians essentially European too? And didn't they invent baseball, basketball, and american football?
Oh.. and by the way if you wanna talk about Imerialism: Look at all the countries that produce a lot of baseball players:

• Dominican Republic
• Cuba
• Puerto Rico
• Venezuela
• Japan

Now, tell me what do all EXCEPT ONE of these countries have in common with regards to the United States? I'll give you a hint. The exception is NOT Japan

If black Americans played soccer like they do basketball USA would be the best in the world. I know I'd be good if I grew up playing it all day and night

If if if Your fantasy guarantees nothing. If blacks focused instead on sovereignty, then a black team would smash the cac team in all sports. Wouldn't you prefer that?

America was created on Racism

America was created on Racism

No it was not.

Built on racism, YES. Not created. Two different things.

These mofos used enslaved Africans to build up their economy for centuries and stacked up a lot of the country's wealth that way. YES. But from what I understand they decided to CREATE the new country over money (taxes without representation) and idealogical differences (including slavery) between the settlers here and the governing monarchy in England.

This is why when i hear random white dudes talking about 4th of July and "freedom" i can't help but laugh. These mofos act like the English had white americans enslaved and needed to be freed.

You know what's funny, in the football world this last World Cup was roundly criticized for its lack of scoring, and overall "boring" , overly tactical cautious group play.

You know it's tied for highest scoring World Cup ever right?!

171 goals in 3 weeks and you still talk out of your azz like that

The 2010 World Cup was what i was referring to chief. Follow the convo better before you come in guns blazing like that.

If your a coach at a school, you're not going to approach a black kid to play soccer, because you need his athletic abilities for the other sports

soccer was always the sport for kids who couldn't compete in the other sports, that's how it is growing up in America

as long as that doesnt change the usa will never compete for a world cup or produce a blue chip player

soccer will always be a gimmick sport in this country

Old azz thread my bad

I still don't understand how anyone can argue that football is slow paced n shxt when every governing body for the last 10-15 years have done evrything in their power to weaken defense and make rules easier for scoring.

Hence you get players like Messi, Ronaldo breaking scoring records at a young age than their counterparts in previous generations
