So first you blast Koreans for not hiring foreigners and then when people point out that actually they have hired quite a few you blast them for hiring foreigners?
They have had Korean coaches as well before. They are just trying to find the best coach be he Korean or foreigner. |
Basherdom at its finest: Korea goes right, they say "should have gone left." Korea goes left they say "Korea should have gone right".
In their mind Korea can't do right. No matter what they do, they'll be wrong because they are Korean. |

Where does soccer bring more than the MLB, NFL, NBA, various NCAA events, HS and MS sports in America? I said events not one sport. And the NFL must be more popular than people think in England. The Bears and Bucs played back in Oct. and had over 70,000 people.
I said Koreans didn't like foreigners coaching their teams. In ever said they don't have them.
The idea that all HS and college athletes are passed is insane and silly.
And what exactly is Korea churning out? They have rules against foreigners in their pro basketball league.
And the US Taekwondo team has 4 people with a Korean last name out of 16 coaches. Maybe 2 of those are Korean. We don't mind foreigners as our coaches.
I'm far from a Korea basher. In no way have I bashed Korea.
You admitted The US was King. And like I said before everyone loses. Its the nature of sports. No the king doesn't always win. |

Having EIGHT foreigners in the last 20 years for the soccer team alone does not support that theory though. |

Pretty much everywhere in the world outisde of America.
Lol, are you really THAT ignorant? I know Foottie isn't popular in the states (I'm not even a fan myself btw) but has far larger global following and stadium ticket sales than NFL lol. Again, OUTSIDE of the USA (which isn't the whole world lol.) |

The largest socce stadium in the world is in North Korea and it holds 150,000 the next is in India at 120,000.
The largest NCAA football stadium is America is in Michigan at 114,000.
And look here for the numbers. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sports_attendance_figures
I'm not THAT ignorant.
4 of the top 5 are in America at a total of 132,823,990 (these are the 4 in America.
The rest are soccer with a total of 63,737,316
It's double!
And yes outside of the USA would be the whole world. The NFL has the highest average attendance beating out soccer in Germany by about 22,000 spectators
So again I ask where does soccer bring in more than NFL, NBA, MLB, NCAA various events HS and MS sports in America? |

This is my original question. I was comparing other places to the US. Of course people in other countries can't attend these events. LEARN TO READ A QUESTION. |

Yea like every person on Dave's saying their school or hagwon not turning on the heat when it was cold indicates that that Koreans don;t turn on the heat. But becasue you had to remove your suit coat because it was too toasty where you work all places in Korea turn on the heat. |
