tooner 243 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 (edited) http://slam.canoe.ca...3/19590301.html He kicked soccer right where it hurts, and now UFC president Dana White is going to put his boots where is mouth is. It was in the Calgary Sun's own boardroom last week when White unleashed on the most popular sport on earth, slagging soccer as a refuge for children and untalented hacks. "I can't stand soccer. It's the least-talented sport on Earth. There's a reason three-year-olds can play soccer," White told the Sun's editorial board, while dicussing an upcoming UFC event in Calgary. "When you‚re playing a game when the net is that big and the score is 3-1 — and that's a blowout — are you (kidding) me? You know how untalented you have to be to score three times when the net is that big?" No surprise, the Sun's footage of the statement has enraged soccer fans and players worldwide, leading retired American soccer star Jimmy Conrad to respond with a challenge to play. "Why would a tough guy like you feel so threatened by soccer that you needed to go off on it unprovoked?" said Conrad in video response to White. "Here's what I'm going to do. Because I like you, I'm going to give you the opportunity to join me and a few friends for a game of soccer. Since you believe playing soccer requires no talent, I'm sure you'll be the star. Unless you're scared." White, of course, accepted the challenge — and now the whole Internet is abuzz with news of the upcoming grudge match, started right here at the Sun. http://www.youtube.c...player_embedded Edited April 4, 2012 by tooner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McFaul 35 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 president of the UFC. did you read the article? it is literally the first sentence. I've just read it there, I don't see why it's relevant to post the thoughts of some yank nobody knows being derogatory about football. 99.9% of English people think American Football is wank, in fact 99.9% of non yanks do. We look down our nose at their shit sports, and laugh at someone no ones heard of trying to belittle it. By you posting this link, it's clear you think he's important. Who is he? No one knows. If it was Obama the president people would generally know who he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howay 12496 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Dana White's a total fucking mug, I think so low of him this hasn't even lowered my opinion of him. Glad wor Ogle from Tynemouth give him that hug after he won his fight hope it ruined Dana's suit the girly named wanker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, it used to be good to watch but the influx of American ex-collegiate wrestlers is no good for spectators as it nullifies the top kickboxers + boxers as well as tiring the top BJJ guys out as they struggle on the bottom for 3 rounds, yawn.

Inferiority to a country full of fat cunt thick twats who think rugby with helmets is a first class sport. You really are a fuck wit. I pity them as much as I pitied the Ethiopians in 1984, but for differing reasons. I ridicule your posts because you believe people are interested in what Americans think. Not one person (other than J69) cares if America was there or not, an irrelevance of a country, the MK Dons of world history. My question to you is why do you think people would be interested in your country? Why? We're fucking England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McFaul 35 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 The demise of Toontastic goes unchecked. It's ridiculous mate. I'm all for international followers, as long as they don't get Cup Final tickets, but questioned about inferiority complexes. America doesn't even register in my brain. There's nothing about USA I know about or have an interest in, literally nothing, other than Gooch when he played for us. They must think the world revolves around them. It doesn't it revolves around us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howmanheyman 33282 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Most Americans I've ever met have been canny enough people but it has to be said, their sports are a fucking joke. I still laugh at SSN when they copy the stats obsession that a lot of US sports have on their news channel. Lovely looking lass presenter: "Well Scott Parker made twenty attempted tackles in their match last night, five of which were successful, his arse to grass ratio was 75% which is only second to Cattermole of Sunderland". Who gives a fuck, man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless what board it's on the man who said and the country of his origin and his reasons for saying it are irrelevant. Most English people couldn't give a fuck about the rest of the world, other than the odd David Attenborough documentary, all inclusives to Tenerife, and chipping in for starving Africans. People will deny it but it's true, we're an island and basically scoff at Americans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
