    What even is a children’s game? A game that can be played by children? That’s almost every game, even games with pointy or heavy things have child-safe versions

      Its just a cultural thing. In the US, children play just about every sport, but once kids get to high school, soccer falls off the map and everyone migrates over to American football and basketball. I think they just mean that generally speaking only children play soccer in the US. It’s of course not true, there are high school teams and lots of tech leagues, but it is true that hardly anyone who is not a child plays in the US.

            I don’t like cricket either, but you won’t catch me getting all of India upset by shitting on it.

              I really have no idea who Ed K is in the post but he doesn’t speak for all americans, and he is probably MAG so he probably shits on everything.

              For the record I think it’s fun to play. I dont particularly like watching it but then again I find watching most sports boring.
