About this listen

It's the ultimate American sports insult, lobbed with supreme confidence: 'Soccer is for girls.' On Avonetics, this single phrase ignited a war. Users eviscerated American football as a stop-start commercial-fest protected by mountains of plastic armor, while hailing soccer and rugby as the true tests of athletic grit. But the ultimate, delicious irony? The original statement is TRUE. In the USA, soccer IS the domain of champions... female champions. While the men's team struggles for relevance, the US Women's National Team collects World Cups like they're frequent flyer miles, dominating the global stage with a ferocity their male counterparts can only dream of. This explosive thread on the Avonetics community 'ShitAmericansSay' spirals into a mind-bending discussion on everything from sports hypocrisy to the very definition of gender in the 21st century, pulling in Avonetics communities you would never expect. It's a brutal, hilarious, and shockingly insightful takedown of tired stereotypes. For advertising opportunities, visit Avonetics.com.
