HOLIDAY WEEKEND

[Donovan]

Cricket lol. The game every slob can play. Your four-post novel length rebuttal epitomizes exactly what is wrong with soccer, cricket, English television and the Brits in general: it takes for fucking ever and you STILL never get to the point. It's just endless bla bla bla and nothing, ever, happens. OF COURSE it's popular in East Bumfuckistan, have you SEEN those countries? They think goat-tripping is quality entertainment.
Americans require a little more stimulation in our sports than some genteel twats running around aimlessly or a bunch of nobodies whacking a ball with a ceiling fan blade, who have names nobody can pronounce and who make so little that they'll probably be answering our telephone service calls tomorrow and pretending their names are "Dave". Elite athletes get paid. Period. Your Becks wanted to get paid kicking a ball. Know what he did? He came to fucking America. Unfortunately for him, he discovered the only reason we put shit like cricket and soccer on TV at all is because people like naps and there are only so many infomercials one can slot into 4am cable TV. It was either cricket or reruns of poker. And guess which gets higher ratings? That's right...fat guys playing cards is more entertaining than cricket.

That's gotta suck for you...
