We're talking about the WORLD, maaaaaaan.

Who wants to watch track and CC on TV? No one. I mean, my favorite sport, futbol has no commercials. WIN! Track has commercials between each event.

LOL those numbers prove soccer is MUCH more popular than CC. CC adds both male and female together and counts it as 1 team. Also, my HS CC team had like 5 people on it. Im sure its like that at a TON of small schools.

lol derp, CC doesn't understand math. Not only does the link show there are more soccer teams in Ohio, but it is also doesn't reflect the amount of club teams in Ohio as well. Club soccer is big in Ohio and all over the country.

Im sure you will respond in the same manner, since you are well into full retard mode, but I don't even get the point you're trying to make. You enjoy commercials? lol ok.

Anyway, just like Laley I have been a soccer fan roughly since 1994 and I have heard it all. Your comments are nothing new, even though you think it is lol. I am not trying to change your opinion (along with ccrunner/deadbeat/thavoice) on soccer. I realize you think its soooooo stoooopppppiiddd!!! I am not going to change that view, nor do I give a fuck to change that view. I just find it funny that you think your view is shared by the majority of this country. That might have been true years ago, but unfortunately for you it is not any more and the facts are on my side. As I said earlier, you guys are a dying breed. You will become the very silent minority by the time the 2022 World Cup rolls around (hopefully they take it away from Qatar and give it to the US). It's hilarious that you guys are so concerned with this country's interest in soccer. Hell you have failed so hard with your trolling, that you even watched the US play on tuesday LOLFAIL. Hopefully you will be able to live with yourselves in 8 years.

I don't know the point you are trying to make. I love soccer.

These haters just can't understand the pure athleticism it takes to play futbol at a high level, right like_that?

These losers just continue to LOLFAIL day after day. At least I saw the light and now I don't LOLFAIL.

ccrunner609;1632906 wrote:wrong. The OHSAA numbers represent the number of schools that host those sports, there are less schools that have soccer teams then CC and track and its not close. There are also more kids participating in CC and track than soccer if you look at the "individual" number of kids. Track and field ranks as the number 2 sport in the country in HS participation.

Again, you're forgetting the fact there is club soccer. Also LOL at citing the amount of participants on a CC team. 90% of those teams consist of non athletic fat girls/boys who use the team as their own personal weight loss/exercise club.

In Ohio, I would place football, basketball, wrestling, baseball, soccer, swimming, and softball well before any type of long distance running.

LOL ccrunner is LOLFAILING all over the place. LOL lulz

emirite, like_that?

lol butt hurt.

So your saying two sports put together (track and cc) have more participants then one sport. Of course two sports that take part in different seasons have more participants then soccer. I would bet that almost all the cc kids run track as well so your even doubling up those numbers. Your also counting kids who play soccer in the fall and run track in the spring because soccer isn't offered. If you want to look at participants your going to have to compare just cc to soccer.

lol, I know. lulz, CC and track more popular than the greatest sport in the world? LOLFAIL

You might be able to place wrestling before distance running but theirs been quite a few elite national caliber distance runners from SW Ohio recently. The Nike national champ a couple years ago was from Tipp City and one of the rising underclassmen for the Oregon Ducks distance running team is from Versailles. Look at a few of the national HS T&F meets (New Balance for example) and you'll see Ohio runners placing high.

Granted for the average fan distance running is boring, no doubt about it.

Sorry I missed a few days...I've been fishing off the Keys for a few days. BTW...fishing actually might be the most popular sport in the world if you soccer tools judge by the number of participants. And I'm most likely one of the 100 best on the world at it. Making me a "world class athlete".

One benefit to distance running is the eye candy.

I wasn't arguing the quality of running. Ohio in general is successful at many sports and produce many athletes, because it is a hard working state.

Yeah, to add on to that, I don't think anyone disputes the base CCRtard-style argument that running is tough or this area has as many/more elite runners as it has elite anything else. We just dispute the full retard lengths he goes with his shit.

1. Running is the toughest sport. As far as pure running, yes. He doesn't seem to grasp minor details such as how other sports involve skill sets that runners don't use, which is why so many of the better runners are CC/track specialists and aren't seen anywhere near other sports. Other sports require large amounts of physical strength and hand-eye coordination to go with any (from very little to a lot) of cardio conditioning for one to be good.

2. Participation numbers? There is one reason why there might be more overall participation is the running sports and it isn't CC's pathetic attempt at math. Soccer is a newer sport at most high schools and a lot of rural ones haven't implemented it because small towns are all about Friday Night Football and with soccer being a fall sport, schools are reluctant to start up a new program that will cut into FB numbers.

3. And just the simple fact that CC makes fun of soccer for being a boring third-world sport when he champions arguably worst sport for spectator viewing...which just happens to be dominated by residents of third-world countries.

The issue here isn't really anything to do with running. That is useful at the least for cardio even if you're not a fan of it in general. It has more to do with CC's arguments, which are about at the same intellectual level as slamming your hands over your ears and yelling "NANANANA I CAN'T HEAR YOU!!!!"

OK. Thanks. When I read "I would place" I thought you meant caliber of athlete.

At add to #2, you have to try out for the soccer team (club or HS) and make the team. CC everyone is a part of the team.
