Why the hell do people refer to soccer as "beautiful"? I have NEVER referred to a sport as beautiful. Shit, if I called football or baseball "beautiful" I'd probably get my ass beaten to a pulp by some drunken senior citizen. In soccer, you're kickin a ball around. In football, you're throwin a ball around. In baseball, you're feelin your balls around. I don't see why the latter aren't considered beautiful.
