Soccer is quite certainly a sport.

Soccer requires refs, scorekeepers, and, most importantly, shoes. Nothing more is required to prove that soccer is a sport.

it doesnt require shoes cuz ive seen on tv lil kids in run down towns in other countries playin barefoot

professional soccer requires shoes. Pele had to buy a pair to play, or he would have rather played barefoot.

what if you prefer to play barefoot....is a stated rule that shoes are required

u might wanna check ur info there 'mang.' Pele had a sponsor that bought he and his team shoes and socks but after playing like one game they ditched the footgear becuz they couldnt get a real feel for the ball like a barefoot allows for.

I think it is legal 2 play shoeless, I know in the NFL kickers have kicked barefoot, its not soccer I know, but a professional sport nonetheless.

anyone that would play barefoot nowadays is insane, at least on the pro level, i love playing barefoot, especially on a beach, but pro, they have 1 inch "bladed" cleats that leave marks when ur wearing shoes, theyd cut rite thru u if u were barefoot

and whitey has been doing his research, pele and his team did indeed kick off their boots in the middle of a practice, theyd never worn shoes and hated them, but after a while they got used to them and started to wear them all the time just to get the feel for them

exactly, i have read up some on pele and i got all the facts sack did. and as of now, im almost positive to play in the us u have to have shoes. at least for highschool they are required.

This topic makes no sense.

I stated why soccer is a sport, someone tried to disprove it, sack and i proved them wrong... what more do you need?

anyway, to make this more relevant to soccer being a sport, i think soccer is a sport also because you have to be in good shape to play soccer. (yeah lame i know, but puts this on topic)
