It's like the basketball for the world. Poor Africans can play it because all you need is a ball and some homies. It's also far more interesting than every American sport besides lacrosse and basketball.

Baseball is the best sport ever.
The reason it never caught on in Europe is because you need decent weather to play it and its 20 degrees and raining in Europe for 14 months out of the year.

qft. Every year I give it a chance, and every year I lose interest one week in until it's playoff time. Although I must admit last year I paid more attention over the summer than usual. It's growing on me.

I used to ouright hate baseball, but it is also growing on me, though not so much in the summer. Also, my conscience can't let the MLB get aways with their roids bullshit.

You know the NFL players are on 10X the juice the MLB guys are.

Good news, USA is reluctant to do it because they want to focus on their own league.

Great just what I wanted to hear. Guess I'll stick to watching EPL games at 10 on Saturday mornings at bars. Or 3 when they're night games

I do watch them live. Just at bars instead of on my computer. Just got back from watching the Arsenal game. I don't like waking up at nine to watch them on Saturdays though

told ya.
as for the corporate named parks that hold MLS teams, they gots to make money somehow. most MLS team jerseys dont have corporate logos on them, except for LA, NY and i think Toronto. thats what kind of annoys me about european league jerseys. I would buy a few more but I dont like wearing a dumb looking giant corp logo like:



mister lady? crazy fucking germans.

If that's how you feel you could always root for FC Barcelona. They pay Unicef to have the logo on their shirt.
