As I have repeatedly stated, athletes play sports. There is no such thing as a "soccer athlete" because soccer is not a sport. And it has absolutely nothing to do with how fit one is. As a Marine I could have kicked the posterior of every girly-man on a soccer team simultaneously, without even breaking a sweat.
Oh please. Enough of the tough guy crap. Like I said before you know not much about sports.
Tell you what cuz, you will not find a single soul that plays in the NFL, NBA or MLB that actually thinks Soccer is a girlie man sport. I have been a sports professional all my life, and athletes of all sports respect one another regardless as to what sport one plays. So anyone out their that thinks that Soccer is a girlie man sport was never talented enough to play any sport at a highly competitve level. By the way I never played much Soccer or am a Soccer fan myself. Actually am a baseball guy (college, 4 yrs in the Minors and 15 years Division 1 coach)) and will tell you Soccer is more physical then Baseball.
I do not watch women or men playing games, I rarely watch any kind of sports at all. I would much rather participate than watch. Only when there is an exceptional athlete will watching the sport peak my interest, otherwise I find watching sports to be boring the vast majority of the time.
Still waiting for your definition of sport and athelete.
I defined it, several times. You are simply incapable of comprehending, which is not the least bit surprising.
No, you did not define sport. You simply declared that three activities qualified and everything else did not. That is not a definition by any stretch of the imagination. Glitch, you LOSE, and despite your vast experience as an athlete, you clearly did not learn how to be a good sportsman about it. The debate is over until you can provide objective criteria that allows us to evaluate each activity in turn. Barring that, it's time for you to go and learn the skills of debate, because you've been trounced.
Ms Coulter is like most media, say anything to be noticed. Soccer is the largest sport in the US in terms of participation.
It is great for kids and teens as it can be played anywhere. It is great for fitness and can lead to the ability to participate in other (track,football) sports.
At Harrier's liberal indoctrination center, soccer players kept in shape by running distance events in track (Spring), and swimming during Winter.
Soccer was an Autumn (Fall) game.
