Foreign people and weak timid boys make me upset.
They don’t get hot girls.

I’m cool. I played football. I got hot girls.

Eyeroll out of my skull.

“ When I was a kid, the only people who played soccer were foreign exchange students and guys who were too weak and timid to go out for football. Not a good way to get girls to go out with you. ”

But I doubt it.

Your previous words ring out from my time playing as a youth (not so much as I kept playing into my 30s).

People that phrased things like you, especially in regards to getting girls, would call those of us that played the sport, ‘Soccer Fags’. Not saying you hold such a viewpoint (especially in 2023), but know that what you said could be quoted from Americans as far back as any of us can remember. It’s just a bad take, IMO.

Shirley isn’t all wrong about faking injuries, but much of that has left the game (not completely, it’s still part of the gamesmanship too often).

Oh, and back to the soccer fags mentality. The best part of that was in our second year, the football team had a down year and we went to the state semis. We had no problem with the ladies.

But carry on, unfortunately, enough people still feel the way you do about the sport, so you can validate your takes in reading similar short-sighted viewpoints (IMO).

Mouth breathers = people who see the world differently than you. See also: ignoramuses; idiots; Trumpers; nutjobs.

Got it.

I used to hate Brussels sprouts too, but not since I started roasting them.

Wash, cut in half, toss in two-parts olive oil & one-part balsamic vinegar, salt, and minced garlic. Heat oven to 425 and place on a rimmed cookie sheet covered with foil and cook for ~ 20 -30 minutes stirring half-way thru, until the sugars in the Brussels sprouts begins to caramelize. Sprinkle with shredded parmesan cheese straight out of the oven, if you like. And don't spare the salt.

You can thank me later.

Thanks Feral. A big part of it for me is the smell. Really don't like that smell.
