Quote:I would like for you to spend one month here in the summer. And I'd like to see you, just once, try to play a game of soccer in the dead of July in Richmond, Virginia. You'd be on the ground wheezing in an hour. If 70 degrees is the worst you have to deal with, you ain't seen nothin' yet, baby. Here, on a good night, it might get as low as 70 around 4 in the morning. Of course, with the humidity, it may as well be 85.
Phh, I'm plenty accustomed to all forms of weather.
Soccer in humidity? Gimme a break. Provincials, last year. Forty degree weather EVERY day, humidity rating quite high. Result, provincial gold medal. BEST team in the province. Try playing in the snow, at barely zero degrees. (even though it's only happened once...and I doubt that you've ever been outside for more than ten minutes when it's snowing, in a t-shirt and shorts no less)
And speaking of soccer...it may be a boring sport to watch (the only games I ever watch are like, in the World Cup) it is an extremely fun sport to play. I dunno, pretty much everybody who doesn't like soccer has never played it before. And also those who don't like soccer and have played before most likely quit before turning 13, and even then played in a league where it's just, "everybody go out and have fun".
Soccer has nothing on hockey, though, which is the very best sport to play (and I've played at a competitive level in all the *major* sports except for football)
