But soccer does. It's called "The Beatiful Game" for a reason. That's also why it's the most popular sport in the World. That bull about "it's the cheapest sport to play" is an excuse staters like to give to try and rationalize the fact that they can pretty much impose anything on the rest of the World except the most popular sport.
You people like to say "all you need is a ball and you're set", well, guess what, you also only need a ball to play US football but that kind of football doesn't even come close to the popularity World football has. You are going to try and tell me "you need helmets, you need pads, etc" well then I tell you that to properly play soccer you also need boots, shin pads, same colour t-shirts and, most important of all, a soccer goal. To play US football you can just draw a line on the ground and you have a goal.
