Feel free to dislike it of your own accord
Ok..thanks, I think I will.

realize that many people in other parts of the globe dislike say hockey for instance for the neanderthal punching each others heads
Fine and dandy...except punches actually are real and actually hurt.

I understand the game of soccer/futball...just not the ridiculous theatrics that dominate the biggest tournament it holds. It's a complete and total embarrassment.

You can find something negative about any sport,
Yep I can...but NOTHING that compares to the idiocy of the worlds "best" players acting like they met Vinnie the Chin on PCP, but in fact the "contact" that sends them sprawling like little girls is less than a minor shaving accident in most cases.

if you personally do not enjoy the ebb and flow of it,
Right...ebb and flow. "Any yellow card you can draw, I can draw better"!!

the manner in which the drama plays itself out
Drama is right. As the World Turns hasn't seen as many great dramatic acting performances in 20 years as the 2006 World Cup provided.

then try not to call it an embarrasment of a sport in a topic where alot of people who do are discussing it, try to imagine discussing a sport you like outside of hockey on here and someone coming in and calling it crappy because of it's shortcomings (which I can assure you every sport has given proper scrutiny) and your reaction before you do that again.
Sorry...I didnt mean to hurt your feelings by saying its an embarrassment of a sport.....but if i did, you may want to roll around and act like you've been shot til someone comes by and tells you to get up or the "4 docs" bring that stretcher out!!

I, quite clearly, asked in my post why people consider this a sport...when, IN MY OPINION, its about as far from being such because of the actors that play the roles.

IMO it might as well be lumped in with the WWE and other "sports" of that ilk. Scripts can't be far behind, afterall, it is a "drama".

Those that like the game...all the power to you, but once more, I ask you....why do you consider it anything more than "sports entertainmant"?
