Should The President Of The United States Ban Soccer And Cricket All Over The World?

6 February 2010 31 Comments

Ok, so I’ve been to MANY places from New York to Los Angeles, and I haven’t seen a single person play either soccer or cricket. I don’t know who plays them. So something occurred to me: should the president of the USA ban soccer and cricket all over the world? It makes sense. It has zero popularity. Football, baseball, and basketball are probably famous world-wide. Everyone plays them.

    the US president cant do anything that does not take place in the united states. it would be the united nations that puts an international ban on things. but theyre busy worrying about drug and sex trafficking, genocide, and suicide bombers.

    I guess this is a joke question. In case it’s not, football around most of the world is association football, played with 11 people per team and a round ball. The president of the USA could not ban anything worldwide, he’s not president of the world. You say that soccer (by which you probably mean football) and cricket have zero popularity. If this were true then there would be no point in a ban as nobody would play them. Equally, it is manifestly not true that everyone plays American football, baseball or basketball – they’re mainly played in the USA. Many people have never played any of them.
    I need to keep calm. It’s only a joke question….. isn’t it?

    so so funny.
    i know your trolling, but if your not, you are re-tar-ded.
    why are americans really so thick though? also, the above answer is very funny and true, americans cannot chant, they could not make a song up about there sport if the world depended on it. all u sing is gooo yankee’s etc…i dunno, but something like that. the american commentaters are absolutly pathetic, and your sport is just a circus. no 1 likes americans….you were english people who ran away and civilised america, and thought, oh, lets be differant, we are so envious of britain we have to be differant, so u changed all the words in the dictionary and made yr own pathetic little sport up that is only played in your pathetic country. thank you.
    edit: Josh Jo, is the best american ever. thank you josh jo , respect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Typical stupid American . Firstly he doesn’t have the power to ban anything all other the world . Secondly football ( soccer ) is the most popular sport in the world played in every country ( at least I’ve never heard of one where it’s not played ) . Cricket is played on at least four continents and is the most popular sport in southern Asia .
    Outside of North America virtually no body plays American football or baseball .

    Is this the first stupid Q of the day ?? I didn’t know that Obama was a Dictator like Hitler or PolPot !!! if he is the first thing he should do is ban idiotic questions like this on Yahoo Q @ A. Go back to reading your comic books and leave the rest of us to ask intelligent Q’s. !!!

    I’ll tell you why Americans are, and always will be, crap at fitba’.
    They can’t chant or sing properly, it’s all just so hopelessly unimaginative.
    I remember watching the “Subway series” World Series and it was, for 7 games “Let’s go Yankees” “Let’s go Mets”…
    Not a scratch on “Who ate all the pies”…..
    Get your chanting sorted out, USA!!!!

    Never ban Cricket and Soccer

    And if u haven’t seen any one play Cricket please come to England, South Africa, India, Sri Lanka (Many more Countries Play It) and then you will see the Real Love for Cricket.Everyone loves Cricket here.
    Well i was just trying to Defend my Point

  • garyindi said:

    u freaking americans r the only freaking ones who love football, baseball, and basketball. basketball is alrite but u must be freaking dumb to think no one likes cricket and soccer. and is there a reason y u think an american president can control the world?

  • no name said:

    Football (the kind that actually uses feet) is huge around the globe. The World Cup screws up the economy in quite a few countries when it’s running, because no one is worrying about work.

  • rog said:

    thats a really weird question..?
    haha i mean its a sport a bunch of people around the world enjoy. why would you get rid of it?
    and football isnt famous worldwide smarts, thats an american sport.

  • <3 said:

    I think that the President has more important things to focus on domestically, like banning baseball, which is such a goddamn snooze and anyway everyone is on steroids.

  • Answer Dancer said:

    You are a retard. No-one plays baseball or American football outside of America. Real football is the most popular sport in the world. Fact. You are a gimp. Fact.

  • Kieran K said:

    lol. soccer is the most popular sport in the world that is a fact.
    yeah, we may not like it here.. but whatever..
    cricket seems interesting, but i don’t understand how it’s played..

  • brother_ said:

    The president of USA cannot ban a sport because It is conflicted with human rights policy.

  • khun_par said:

    He should instead ban American football and baseball which noone outside the US plays.
    Basketball is fun, but as a game not a sport.
    That would also be within the Commander in Fool’s power.

    the usa isn’t the whole world and your president has no power other than in the usa.now get ready for school you need your education.

  • Ray K said:

    lol the president what he do
    football and cricket are major incomes
    and not to mention just cause america is powerfull dont mean they can boss smaller countrys around

  • Carlton J said:

    It doesnt matter if nobody plays them. Just because you think something is unpopular (soccer is NOT) doesnt mean it should be banned. Let those who enjoy it have their peace.

  • Doll (: said:

    Just be careful the red coats don’t read this, they may take back their colony and make tea drinking mandatory in American schools.

  • dragonla said:

    Football (Real football, not the kind you stupid lot play with your hands) has zero popularity.
    Don’t make a me laugh, it’s a multi billion £ industry. And MUCH more popular than Yank football.
    Shut up

  • Braden U said:

    Football (Soccer) is the most popular sport in the world actually…
    its the world game.

  • Door Knob. said:

    Well…if no one is playing those sports anyway, why should the President ban them? Even if they were being played more, why should he ban them?

  • TOUCH MY PIGTAILS AND DIE! said:

    Of course not. Just because they aren’t played in America doesn’t mean he should ban them. Football (Soccer as you call it) is one of the most popular sports out there.

  • Alex M said:

    this has to be a joke right? I think baseball and football are the LEAST popular sports worldwide. once again this is a joke right?

  • cookieco said:

    I think he should ban people with stupid, ill-informed, narrow minded opinions from contributing to Yahoo Answers.

  • Anglo said:

    From New York to Los Angeles? I think this must be a joke. You never know on here, though.

  • vambo number five said:

    Yes and because you saw no native-africans in america you should ban them too right?

  • David C said:

    if it is not famous in your country that does not means it is not famous or played in any other country.so please keep your advices with u it will be better

  • veronica said:

    Just bait up the hook and reel them in.
    Not a bad catch either.

  • Jonesy said:

    YOU ARE STUPID
    And so are those who think you represent all Americans.
