Americans Care About Soccer for 2 Weeks

After a year spent concentrating on real sports such as football, basketball, and baseball, Americans grow tired of excitement and take a 2-week break in June to watch something a little less taxing.

"It's such a relief not having to worry about getting all worked up while watching the game," said a local sports fanatic. "Sometimes I even get a little nap in. I feel so refreshed!"

A local man wearing a David Beckham t-shirt had this to say:

"With other sports you have to sit there while touchdown after touchdown, or run after run is scored. It gets so monotonous. With soccer you only have to endure that 2 times in a game, 3 tops. And you know how in other sports even after time is up they keep playing till one of the teams wins? Not in soccer. It's perfectly acceptable to end in a tie. They really keep our rigid schedules in mind."

After the World Cup ends, Americans will have to go back to watching sports where players actually use their hands. The next break from all this won't be until September when Americans will care about tennis for 2 weeks.
