However, I think what really hurts soccer in America and you may laugh but I think it's the no hands rule. It's slow scoring and not very exciting plus long and then they can't use your hands. Baseball for the most part is a slow scoring game and is drawn out and not very exciting unless it's close towards the end but they use their hands. IDK, maybe I'm just thinking to hard. lol

I don't know. In soccer the action is constant, and hardly stops, like basketball. While Football is very exciting I find the long wait between plays to be kinda boring and lacking in excitement. |

What people usually mean with "exciting" is that they get to see a lot of scoring (basketball) or the scores are very high (football)
What I find funny, is that people don't seem to realize that a 21-14 football game is the same as a 3-2 soccer game. |

SA NFL team
Would you support it, whether it's an expansion or relocation? I believe that it would change the dynamic of the city, more than an MLB or NHL team. There are several possible candidates out there that might relocate (a certain team in N. Florida comes to mind).
Any thoughts?

There's already a big thread on this topic. If no one finds it and posts the link in this thread, I'd suggest you find it and post this in there as someone will lock this up or merge it.

Trust me if an NFL team moved to SA, they would be supported. Even with the Cowgirls obsession around here.

Just to get this in before the lock/merge.
I think what we need to do is support the Roadrunners new team as a city. We can't be apathetic towards the team. It should be embraced as SA's team so that no only does it advance to better divisions faster but shows off our love for football to the NFL and any team that is thinking of relocating.
