Baseball sucks, we should get rid of it.
"Soccer is the beautiful sport. It's about heros and tribes." as FIFA 2006 on the Xbox said which is all true.Only true football (soccer)fans think soccer is the best.Wow the only point of baseball is that u hit a ball with a bat and run and catch,WOW!!! BORING!!!And thats not all. if u give a kid a soccer ball, he'll learn lots of stuff and if u get into baseball you'll be like Barry Bonds all taking steroids.No part of the world doesnt play soccer.Its the most famous sport.More people watch the FIFA World Cup more than the Olympics.Even more than like a bastketball or anything else! Football is truly the best and beautiful sport!

Soccer is almost entirely visceral. It is a sport of the moment. As such, it is hardly memorable. Yes, there is strategy, and yes, the abilities of players are discussed and dissected ad infinitum. What I don't see, and perhaps this is because I view the sport from an American perspective, is a sense of significance. One offensive attack seems much like another. We can talk of great players like Pele and their abilities, but things move too fast to be savored. You don't have the long series of offensive plays as in American football, or the "big inning" as in baseball.
Baseball, by contrast, is very much a thinking game. It only takes fractions of a second for the ball to cross the plate, but there are decisions as to what pitch to throw, where to hit the ball and how best to help the team in a given situation. Players seem to have fixed positions, and yet anyone can be a hero at any time, particularly in leagues where the pitchers bat for themselves. You don't hear much about lesser players in a soccer match, but a home run hit by a player whose stats are below the Mendoza Line can still hurt you.
And that's the other beauty of baseball. A player can shine (or fail) in so many different ways. No other sport has been so statistically dissected as baseball. Baseball fans can, and do, compare players of disparate eras, and even make allowances for changes in the game. We still talk about Babe Ruth after all these years. Can anybody here name ONE soccer player from 80 years ago without resorting to a reference book or an Internet search engine?
Yes, baseball does seem slow to people who don't like to think or plan. But there is an entire game of guessing and second-guessing under the surface, just as that seemingly empty forest glade is actually teeming with life.
Professional baseball does have its problems. But, having seen and played both games, not to mention enjoying both games, I have found that baseball is the better game, for me, anyway.

One of the things that separates us from animals is our hand, with the opposable thumb and fingers. Soccer is the only sport that (except for the goalie) makes no use of the human hand. When little kids in pre-school are taught a sport, they learn soccer because any ape can kick a ball. Try hitting a round ball with a round bat where the ball may come straight, curve, be slow, be fast break in or out. No. Baseball is the better sport. Who cares if Europeans don't like it or understand it?

i dont think that we should get rid of pro baseball, because a lot of people like it. But i agree soccer is better. Not only is it fun to play and watch, but it is THE WORLD sport.
