Nobody "dishes on the people" who don't watch. Nobody has a problem with people not watching it. I think the reason that some people get a backlash is because they can't simply not watch it, but have to tell everyone as loudly and obnoxiously as possible that they don't watch it, which is usually followed by some pathetic machismo reason (no hitting, girls sport etc). We aren't mocking you for not enjoying the game, we're mocking the insecurity that often accompanies the outspoken dislike of soccer.
Another reason is the xenophobia that often accompanies it. You can literally feel the hatred many Americans have towards much of the rest of the world by listening to them spit their dislike of soccer. Your own comment about being worldly and smug goes along with this too. Why is it "smug" to enjoy international things? Are you really that insecure about your nationality that you need to disrespect anything foreign? Get a fucking grip.
Mick..No one hates the rest of the world...We just like giving it to people like you who hate America and think Europe is better, yet live here
Oooh,and I almost forgot..We like giving it to the Canadians too. Theyre like our Special person cousin who drools down his chin, yet we have to eat with him on Thanksgiving
