Grimm, I played my share of football, and basketball. Baseball was a sport that I was not able to play beyon 14... Once kids started throwing curve balls, I was lost.

I did play organized soccer for intramurals in college. I was friends with a bunch of guys on my floor in the dorm - they were very good - I was more of a body to spell people, or when others could not make it due to class. It was fun, especialy since the guys on my team were like you soccer fags.... so we actually got to the championship team.

Ironicly, the best player on our team was a girl. We had toget special permission to have her on the team - of course all the other teams said no problem, because they thought she was just a girl.

Turns out that she was olympic team and had blew our her knee, she was rehabbing at school. So she was awesome.... and the main reason we did so well.

But lets face it.... Soccer is NOT as violent as football, anyone who questions this shoudl watch the games today.

no not nearly as violent. never was my argument. my argument =is conditioning. Those guys out there holding their hips and sucking wind in the second half are in nowhere near the condition of a soccer player.
