The Problem with Futbol
Posted June 19th, 2009 @ 11:38am by Erik J. Barzeski
I used to love soccer. Played it for a long, long time when I was a kid - from age 4 or so right on through into high school.
There's a tournament going on, and I could only manage to watch a few minutes before turning it off. Though I still think soccer requires as much physical conditioning as virtually any other sport, I'm more than disgusted with - for lack of a better term - how pussied the modern futbol player is. Cripes - they fake injuries any time another player is near 'em. Half the time the opponent doesn't even or barely touches them. Disgusting.
