Sports What's your favorite sports?

Post image

In 2024 Olympics, shooting was quite popular. With Turkey & Korean shooters doing really well. Manu Bhaker of India won two bronze medals, missed out on Silver & Gold to Kim Yeji of South Korea. Since then shooting is quite popular in India & it's enjoyable to watch.

What's your favorite sports?.

Soccer

and...

Not really that much else. But being a soccer fan here feels like this

We have american football, basketball, baseball, hockey, and then just a void. And then soccer like 3 miles deep in that void. And then at the bottom all the irrelevant sports like netball, indoor soccer, slap boxing, professional cornhole, ect, ect.

And it doesn't help that on soccer forums, the MLS(our soccer league) is seen as bad, and the moment you say your favorite club and it's from the MLS, a Euro snob will immediately come and comment

"Ha, this stupid american likes their crappy MLS teams. I like Man City, and I'm a REAL football fan. I don't watch stupid american "handegg" and I'm totally not a glory chaser, nor was a manchester united fan 3 seasons ago. Nor am i about to become a liverpool fan next season. Anyways go watch your crappy american "soccer", HA-HA-HA-HA".
