    I call BS on the Snuggie being so comfortable, that you'll wear it to your kid's JV soccer game.

    I call BS on hack columnists who compensate for other shortcomings by bashing women's sports. Ballard auditioning for the next FSR opening or something?

    He shows his ignorance by talking about MLS attendance. The league did see a drop of around 3 percent this season, compared to 6 percent by MLB.

    Shit, there's a guy out there who's grumpier than me.

    I call bs on people who refer to hockey as a "niche sport".

    Not where I live.

    I call BS on people from here, from behind anonymous handles, calling BS on other anonymous handled-people calling BS on any columnist in SI.

    (And you're welcome to check the facts yourself. MLS is doing fine attendance-wise and didn't suffer as big a drop as MLB.)

    I don't think he's blasting MLS as much as soccer snobs who think they are too good to watch MLS.

    "Let's not limit this to the big three sports, though. To those soccer aficionados who follow the Premier League and obsess about the World Cup draw and heap scorn upon the heathen who keep the "beautiful game" from flourishing in the U.S., I call b.s. Because, guess what: If you want soccer to succeed in this country, you have to actually, you know, support it. And that means attending MLS games, or at least watching them. So just own up to it already—you love soccer ... just not all soccer. There, now don't you feel better?"
