A somewhat well written argument riddled with inaccuracyFootball is the most popular sport in the world. LOL.
Even in Southern Ontario/GTA, the two fastest growing sports are football (ie. soccer) and basketball.
Why? It’s cheaper and it’s purely based on skill. There’s no unwritten rule BS in either sport. You come, you play…
Hockey and baseball meanwhile still thinking like the Soviet Union still exists. Crying about bat flips and “answering the bell”.
PS: Ain’t called Saakar either.
Both Soccer and Basketball are growing in the GTA but they are NOT the two fastest growing sport.
Soccer have a looooooooooooooooooooooong list of what you call BS unwritten rule. I am not about to make an exhaustive list but there dozens of the like:
-If you score a goal against a former team where you played for a while, you never celebrate.
-If you score against your own country (dual citizenship) you also never celebrate
-If you score a goal, you need to go further away from the goal to celebrate
-If your team have a lead late in game the referee will have a hard time let you waist time, aka game management.
-If you commit a foul in the first 10 minutes, you rarely gonna receive a card for it.
-The referee literally decide when the game over
-A lot of people will say that kissing your team logo is a D move, especially if you are new to the team.
-A lot of people will say its perfectly honorable to do so.
-As a goalie, you never say a god damn thing about another goalie performance.
-If a guy having a great game, or its his last one with a club, you have to bring him out before the end so he can get his ovation
-Post game you are expected to accept another player sweaty jersey and smile about it.
-Don't f***ing celebrate the 8ish goal in qualification against Thailand, USA!
-If you get fouled, you need to rollover at the very least 3 time more than the physic would have dictated, you also need to put your hand in your face regardless where you get injured.
