 |
|
I was wondering if anyone knows if the Bulls are a big deal in Korea as they were a few years ago in other countries. I'm from Chicago and thought Bulls stuff would be a good gift for the kids. I'm inclined to think basketball in general isn't that popular over in RoK, though.
Any help would be great. |

Basketball was immensely popular 10 years ago. I remember everyone reading/watching Slam Dunk! and playing basketball on the school grounds.
Nowadays its soccer or bust. Soccer is about as exciting to watch as a round of PGA Golf. |

| Koreans don't care if the bulls come from Chicago, or any other place in the US, as long as they can find the smallest bone fragment, they'll send the whole lot back. |

| WWE? I see that Confucianism and homoerotic man-soaps are not mutually exclusive. |

I'd have to agree. Golf is boring; soccer is infuriating. Sometimes, if I'm bored and flipping through the channels, I'll stop on a soccer game and watch for five minutes. Invariably, some *beep* takes a dive and lays around screaming and grasping his leg as if it was just severed at the knee. Of course, the replay shows he wasn't touched. That's the point where I start yelling obscenities at the screen and talking about how much I hate that god damned sport.
And that, my friends, is why my gf hates when I watch soccer. |

| I'd say basketball comes in third to soccer and baseball. It mainly depends on which teams have Korean players. I see a lot of Yankees hats, but I don't know if they have ever had a Korean player, it may just be that I go to too many corny hiphop clubs. |
