Soccer so boring but as parents more and more decide to not have kids play football it will continue to grow more popular. 

 

I always thought if they shrunk the field it would be MUCH more popular in the States. 

The funny thing is ... it's not boring ... to those that understand the game. Europeans think American Football is boring due to the limited action, non stop ads, short plays, etc. But an NFL fan would explain to them the mini battles on EVERY play: the lineman battles, linemen opening holes for the RB, routes the WRs take, blocking, the QB having to change plays mid-stride, etc. Welp ... a soccer fan would do the exact same explaining to someone who thinks soccer is "boring".

Soccer is not boring.  You just need to pick a decent team (I recommend English Premier League) and you will get vested into it in no time.  Soccer is the most competitive sport in the world where losing gets you relegated into oblivion or winning promotes you to the top of the world.

Well said.  This goes for just about any sport.  If you know a little bit about what's going on, it's a lot more interesting to watch.  It's like when someone is trying to watch hockey and they don't know what icing is.

I found that hockey just doesn’t work on TV. Or, you need to see the whole rink really to best get it if you don’t know a lot. 

i was lucky enough to go to some games at the old Boston Garden with the Bruins and I had only ever watched on TV. I got it in person.

 

Also saw the Celtics with Bird, vs Dr J and Dawkins that team and I guess Hollings? Been a while. Dawkins was a mountain

That is your opinion. YOU think soccer is not boring.

As a person who has watch every Canes game on tv except one and that was when they were still in Greensboro I disagree. 
Hockey works very well on TV. 
 

Go canes!  I watch all canes games. I just got into hockey two years ago… from watching the tv.

If you understand it.

When you don’t understand it, I can’t agree. At least for me.

Now, I am not really much interested in hockey and haven’t watched any in a long time maybe they have better production nowadays. I didn’t understand icing or whatever until I saw the entire rink rather than the telecast which basically followed the puck.

Yeah this may not have been Teppers fault directly but whoever organized this and was in charge of security its a bad bad look took forever for security to even arrive.  With the way people get sloppy drunk at all these events cops should be everywhere throughout the game.  

I was thinking the same; it's not on Tepper directly per se; but as a business owner you will always have to answer for these situations.  Because it does still boil down to hiring the right security staff, having the correct protocol in place for an event of this magnitude.

Again, people are going to blindly put all of the blame on Tepper just bc of his history lately. But also there is proactive planning that has to be done to make sure these things don't get out of hand. That's just the nature of being the owner of a company both sadly and rightfully at times.

Great sport! Honestly I am always surprised I never could get into soccer because I love hockey and the two sports are somewhat similar. 
Cool to see another “new” Canes fan. Next season is gonna be really interesting with the soft-reset this off-season. 
But it feels like every cup favorite team in our division has a soft-reset.

I got my son into hockey as well.  He now switched from NFL to Hockey/Soccer.  Said NFL has too many commercials.

      How long do you feel it takes for a head coach to turn a team around?

      Canales has his msjor issue not doing the obvious regarding running Dowdle but with an average QB we would be in the playoffs with an average QB.

      1. fug TikTak, I ain't clicking that stupid poo. 2. This is really very situationally dependent. Coaching is a huge part but sometimes you step into a scenario where a lot of building needs to happen that is largely out of your control  Recent examples(Last season's hiring cycle): 1. Ben Johnson Johnson chose the OVERWHELMINGLY best open coaching job due to a combination of solid ownership, a solid front office and the most talented roster of the open jobs from that cycle. Negatives were, insanely stacked division. Results have so far indicated that this coaching change has been a massive boost. 2. Mike Vrabel Vrabel went a different direction. He went to a franchise that has solid ownership, a mediocre front office and one of the worst roster in the NFL. However, he has a track record of NFL head coaching success AND lucked into one of the easiest schedules in NFL history(I believe 3rd easiest). Even with that caveat, a clear indicator that coaching has been a huge boost. 3. Pete Carroll Carroll chose one of the NFL's most voliate franchises. Notoriously bad ownership, very bad front office and a terrible roster. But, Carroll is a HOF caliber NFL HC with success at every stop. At the moment, coaching has not been able to overcome the apparent obstacles. In fact, it's been a complete diaster to the extent that Carroll has already fired multiple coaches. One could certainly argue that pethaps Pete has lost his touch but regardless, this coaching change didn't result in a turnaround and Carroll's future there seems in doubt. 4. Aaron Glenn Glenn's first HC opportunity was a doozy. Near worst ownership, a mediocre front office(at best) and a talented core group of players on an underwhelming roster. This experiment has been quite the ride to date. Glenn's personnel decisions have seemingly led to multiple close game losses(2-5 in games decided by one score or less) and the FO decided to have a roster firesale prior to the trade deadline for a wealth of draft capital. The question will be if Glenn will be given the time to actually see this future draft capital realized, now that a significant chunk of the talented core is not longer there. Coaching has not made a difference but is the franchise now setting him up to fail further? 5. Liam Coen Coen picked a mixed bag. Terrible ownership, a remade front office he essentially had a hand in selecting(or at the miminum influenced) and a middling roster. The early results show promise even if the roster shows significant flaws(and Coen shows visible frustration with his "franchise" QB every Sunday). Could be close to turning a 4 win team into a playoff berth. Coaching has mattered. 6. Brian Schottenheimer This was resoundingly viewed as a bad hire but it's also under challenging circumstances. Bad ownership in the sense that the ownership is also the front office, a future Tepper dream I assume. Very talented but very flawed roster. The initial results have been...interesting. A Cowboys team that was a bad 7-10 after a previous streak of three 12 win seasons is now....mediocre? Couple that with wild roster changes prior to the start of the season and up to the trade deadline and it makes for an incomplete picture. It's not much progress but it doesn’t appear to be regressing either. TBD. 6. Kellen Moore Moore chose the most challenging of all openings. The Saints are in the midst of a simulateous roster teardown and attempted rebuild. Decent ownership, a mixed bag in the front office(great at evaluating draft talent, less so in free agency and in salary cap management). The Saints have been awful but, they were expected to be awful. To that note, they were net sellers before the trade deadline. It was reported that Moore secured an agreement that this is long term building effort prior to taking the position so his status seems safe even while the team flounders week to week. Difficult to grade this now as the entire scenario seems to be a long term strategy. TBD.

      I think he has started to build a culture here.  I think if we had a qb with no limitations we would be seeing a lot more with the offense.  I think most of the coaches that come in and instantly win went to teams that were underachieving previously based on roster talent level.  Based on our roster talent,  we werent underachieving,  we were just bad.
