Not insecure,just baffled why he would say something so stupid
Football is not a sport in Brazil it's a religion
If he said this in Brazil I wouldn't be surprised if they boycotted the Silva fight( which happens to be in a football stadium :lol: )
People murder because of football there

Not a soccer fan myself, but I did spend four years in Germany and have gone to many soccer games... Dana is straight up wrong here... Soccer is a hard *** sport and you almost run a marathon during the match... Also Soccer fans are the most hard core fans anywhere in the world...

The notion that since 3 year olds play it means little talent is involved is ridiculous.
You can hand a 3 year old a set of drums and s/he will bang on them, it doesn't mean that playing the drums requires no talent though.
Oh well, end of the day... Dana being Dana.

Its not like anyone has ever tried to credit him as the smartest man on the planet. People should be used to bulls--- spilling out of his mouth.

I'm not a big soccer/football fan, but that's beside the point - this is not the way to expand your sport into the global market. He should be doing everything in his power to draw parallels between soccer and MMA, highlight the athletes that have transitioned from soccer to MMA. He should be soccer's biggest freaking friend. I hear it's kinda popular.
But then, it's Dana. I'm sure when someone smarter than him (one of his business partners) points out how wrong his stance is from a money-making point of view, he'll do a public 180.

What is also funny is that the best fighter in his organization (yes, Anderson Silva) tried and failed to be a professional soccer player before he really got into mma fighting.

Baffled? That he would say something stupid that offends millions of people?

very insecure soccer fans.....
i mean what was it that DW said that was wrong?............you don't need talent to hit a ball that size in a net that big
other players make up the skill set
..........if you look at soccer from a basic sense it is pretty damn easy, and probably the easiest.

Soccer is easily one of the hardest sports and easily takes more talent than 99% of sports, i don't think people realise how hard and how good you have to be, its one of the very few sport where skill overides atheltic ability most the time, the coordation, skill, fitness and game awareness you have to have is insane, also the level of competition is 100 times more due to the amount of people playing it meaning its literally a million times harder to get into a top team than it is to fight in the UFC, i've not seen many trash players in the highest euro leagues but i have seen plenty trash fighters in the UFC over my times. To me this probs surpasses the "Phillpe Nover is the next Anderson Silva" comment
