Most British men don’t consider the ritual kissing/hugging celebration very macho either; its just the accepted trend, and many copy it without thinking. Americas ‘macho’ culture is more to do with the fact that sports like football are seen as global, whereas American football is seen as uniquely American. It’s more a question of patriotism expressed through national identity.

You all are so funny! Usually the men who are homophobic or try to hide their true sexual orientation are the worst ones. They are the biggest gay lovers behind close doors. Next thing you’re going to say is that there are no gays in America like the Iranian President! haha!

And peaches you are 100% right. All other sports you only take 5 – 10 steps shoot the ball and it’s in. Base ball, you only run 4 bases and swing a bat or throw a ball. Hockey you don’t even need to run. You slide. Football, is just a gay american sport. Futbol is ranked the best sport in the world because all the sports i mentioned besides Futbol are american sports. Futbol and Rugbe are the hardest sports to play.

That’s why i hate americans..they think every thing europians do is gay. Well i think all americans do is eat and get obese and only go out of the house to eat. You retards are lucky for europe even giving you that land for your gay country.

why does everyone have such a negative attitude twords soccer/futbol i mean at school everyone is always calling the guys that play soccer pussies and stuff like that. but i dont understand why. i mean you dont see the guys soccer team running around smacking each others asses cause thats not how they roll. Im a female playing soccer/fulbol and it makes me so mad when crap like that. and at my school girls get a ton of crap for playing a “guys” sport. its like can you ppl make up ur mind. you say that guys shouldnt play cause its a pussy sport and girls should play cause its a “guy sport. and then all the ppl thats make fun of the sport get all pissed when we talk down bout there sport. so its like you can dish it out but cant take it in. whats with that?? we all have the right to play the sport we wanna play. also when guys from the football team say well our sport has way more running then urs. its like yeah right all u guys do is stand around. most of the game is watching a bunch of guys standing aroun. in soccer/futbol we dont stand around we do so much running. so to all of u ppl who keep putting down on the soccer/fulbol ppl shut it cause we hve taken ur crap for to long. pluse ur all just pissed cause our sport is number one in the world. =]
