It's becoming REALLY hard to defend soccer
 

Sorry if I'm not PC or anything, but would YOU wear this to battle?

Imagine the Palermo fan section.....sea of pink.

It'll take more than a color to lose me as a fan!!

On the back of the shirt is says,
"Real Men Wear Pink."

Thank God the team I support in Italy only wore their pink jersey for a short time-unfortunately, Juventus wore pink jerseys to commemorate the team's anniversary....I never thought a team would PERMANENTLY have that as the 1st or 2nd kit.

It could be worst. It could be pink polka dot.

Loki: You know, fuck you, man, any moron with a pack of matches can start a fire. Raining down sulphur is like an endurance trial. Mass genocide is the most exhausting practice one can engage in. Next to soccer.

Maybe they did this for you? :cool:

Maybe they wore pink for October's Breast Cancer Awareness......(it sounds good....)

But, I'll always be a fan....regardless of color.

These are Italians, man.

Real men can wear pink, whether they're Italian or not.

Soccer players are real men!

I thought that Palermo had always worn pink...maybe I had that confused with some other team, but I was pretty sure there was at least one Italian team that was pink.

uhmm..who cares?

I still love soccer...especially soccer men :-)

Any man that can run up and down a pitch for an hour and a half has my utmost respect--even if he is wearing pink! :p

They have the best legs!

We used to have a PR campaign for indoor soccer that said something to the effect that "We have 12 men that can go all night long!"

Another was a close-up photo of the back of a model's legs in heels, with a soccer player poised to kick the ball between her legs. It was called the "Hot Legs" campaign!

Speaking of which, they did a distance track of one of the women's National team players during their 3-0 win over Mexico. At the 65th minute, they reported that she had run the equivalent of nearly 5 miles.

ETA: I know it may not have been directed at me, but the topic of the thread was a joke. Soccer's still my favorite sport of all time, and will coach and referee until I can't run. I just know there's many Americans who hate the beautiful game and would use this as a reason to say it sucks....

We knew, Stan - we're just messin' with you! ;) It would be like me saying that I was done with soccer.

It's all good, Stan.

I will defend (no pun intended---although that was my position when I played) soccer until my last breath! Love the game.
