Lessons from World Cup
- Thread starter optidiscic
- Start date
Soccer is followed closely by billions of people world wide, and known by billions more. 100,000 people have heard of disc golf.
Considering the public's fascination with reality shows and their scripted, fake crisises and drama, you'd think 'Murica would glom onto soccer, what with its flopping, finger-pointing, jingoistic national fervor, hooliganism, and the occasional stadium riot.
I seem to be one of the exceptions---I like soccer, but you can't get me to watch any reality show at all.

I don't have cable.

The future of "TV" coverage is going to be on demand streaming. Improved online coverage is what should be strived for.

There are over 4,000 courses, so 25 people for course. Yeah, that seems about right.
7,000,000 and 10,000,000* have played, and even more have heard of the game.

Eh, to each his own.
Most of it is strategy. Gives players a chance to rest and adds to bonus time.

Maybe if more of our top world class players tried this, it would grow the sport. Just look how big Fooootbol is.

True fact: In 2012 average attendance at MLS games was higher than both the NBA and NHL.
As for the flopping... yea, many soccer players are drama queens, but when your sport doesn't stop the clock every 4 seconds and lets you rest depending on whether or not your team has the ball, than yea, you'll be looking for any reason to stop and catch your breath as well. Also, it helps draw fouls.
You mean like rugby? Now that is a real sport right there.

And I was hoping this thread would be about how I could improve my disc golf game by not being so stinking defensive for hundreds of minutes on end, blow golden opportunities, and call it good effort after loosing. When it comes to Disc Golf I want my game to be more like whatever team wins the stinking World Cup. Now if only I could get all my body parts to play together as a team.
So is this the thread where we get to gospelize our opinions which sports are legit and which aren't?
Well if so, soccer does indeed suck, but so do all our established American sports, especially the ones where the teams have $50+ million payrolls, but need taxpayer funded assistance to build a new luxury box enhanced playpen every 25 years.
