Soccer, or Football as I accidently call it

So, I am a fan of Soccer. I went to almost half the home games this season for the Columbus Crew. This is the first time in my life I have actually had the money to go to sporting events of any sort, so it has been really nice. Some of you may ask, why soccer? Why "The Beautiful Game?"

Firstly, because I am never one to just like something because I should. I hate baseball, I don't like The Buckeyes and I think Basketball is kind of lame. I don't like soccer just because it's different, but it did attract my attention because of it. It's not the sports I don't like and often time the people that like those sports, don't like soccer. So I thought maybe it would be unique enough to keep my attention, and it did.

Another thing cool about soccer is that if you have the right channels, it's always on. It's also entertaining enough that I can pretty much watch any two teams play and enjoy myself. A well played game of football will pass the time regardless of if you have an invested interest into the teams playing.

Lastly, it's just plan down right fun. I took Ryan to a match last month and he got a taste of the good life. We drank beer, we ate hot dogs and we chanted and sang. Well more me singing and chanting than him, but I could see him getting into it by the end of the match. Don't believe me that this is a fun wild time. Well, we were sitting right next to the supporter's corner. The following video shows what it's like to be said "supporter."



So, in short, support your local soccer team. They will love you for it.
