Did you know that Platypi are poisonous? It’s true.
Did you also know that it’s a scientifc fact that people who hate soccer smell bad?

There’s nothing wrong with hating soccer.

In the space of eleven years, the NHL version of the sport lost half a season — the first half — just as it was poised to make a great leap forward in popularity (despite the Rangers winning the Cup the previous year, it wasn’t the worst thing that could have happened to the sport), and it lost an entire season when it was bleeding popularity to a sport characterized by three hours of left turns and billiards on cable.
The sport is not a “duck-billed platypus,” but those who have run the sport — from both sides of the table — have more than a passable resemblance.

I don’t understand people with that ignorant attitude. I mean, really you can look at any sport and see its flaws and/or ridiculousness in some facet – football players celebrating even routine plays, both the NBA and NFL facing mounting legal woes, the attitude of NBA players when a dress code was implemented, the steroid problem in baseball, etc, but I’m not going to go out and mock people who follow those sports – to each their own.
I will say this though, if you’re going to try and say something relevant you’d better at least get the facts straight. The player didn’t strike, they were locked out/the CBA has expired and it last about 10 months, not 18.
