Derek Jeter and Women’s Soccer are bigger than the MLB Allstar Game

Congratulations Derek Jeter

and the Women’s World Cup Soccer team

but MLB Allstar Game is a yawn

First off, a big MadMikesAmerica congratulations to Derek Jeter on achieving 3,000 hits.The guy’s a consummate professional and deserves all the accolades he gets. That being said, I think the guy that gave Jeter the ball was nuts.

Every year free agents leave their teams for more money and they all say “I had to think of my family.” The guy that caught the ball should have thought of his family and kept the ball. If Jeter wanted it so bad he could have bought it. I think he could afford it.

Another big MMA congratulations to the Women’s World Cup soccer team. Against the mighty Brazilians and a pack of idiot referees the ladies prevailed and made America proud. Sadly for soccer, just as Mia Hamm and Brandi Chastain and the women’s World Cup team of 1999 didn’t make America a soccer nation, even another victory this won’t either.

Watching the game I was reminded of the years I spent coaching soccer. Soccer sucks. Its rules are stupid. They’re designed to screw over good athletes and keep games from being exciting. Soccer referees are sent to a special FIFA school where their IQ’s are tested. If they score under 11 they move on where they are tested for how big a jackass they are. If they pass that test they’re made referees. Free to make bullshit offsides calls and hand yellow and red cards to whomever reminds them of the losers they are.

Finally in order of importance, the Major League baseball all star Game. Why anyone cares about this farce anymore is beyond me.  Even though I’ll be watching Tuesday, I won’t be caring. They’re on the 84th all star pick since around 20 players so far are hurt or ineligible or just don’t feel like playing.

The game has a start time of around 7pm but it’s always way later because introductions take forever. Then the inevitable diva that thinks the national Anthem needs to be at least 20 minutes in length.  I’ll be at my Dad’s and he’s always got a cooler full of Rolling Rock so all this shit should be bearable.

What makes the all-star game so unnecessary is that you can watch virtually every game throughout the baseball season. You can see any player anytime you want.You don’t have to wait and buy a ticket to see Albert Pujols. He’s on Fox Midwest every night, or the internet. The all-star game is nothing special anymore. On the other hand, it still beats soccer. I may have to re-prioritize the article.
 
The editorial team at MadMikesAmerica likes Derek Jeter and Rolling Rock, doesn’t much care for the MLB Allstar game, but really likes Women’s World Cup soccer.
