00:00well brazil has figured it out because the first two teams that did it in philadelphia's games
00:05in the world cup that put their jersey on the rocky statue both of them lost so brazil decided
00:11that's not going to happen to us they've been having a lot of fun they play later on this is
00:15what they did they put guards you see they put stances that they brought with them from home
00:21that signs in portuguese but it's saying do not put a jersey on it and they surrounded the statue
00:26to make sure that the curse will not apply to them they've been turning up taking over philadelphia
00:33it's been incredible but that is the kind of stuff this kind of fun thing is why it's more than
00:38just
00:38the game because soccer has a different pace because the schedule of the world cup you don't
00:45treat it like baseball you don't even treat it like football you treat it differently and that's what
00:49these fans are doing and smart by the brazil fans to one learn about the local allure coming and many
00:55of these people are coming from brazil proper they're not just fans jumping on board there's
00:59some of those guys were from brazil proper hence why the sign was in portuguese and catching on i think
01:05that thing is a lot of fun and this is the whole point sports are supposed to be fun yes
01:12you have the
01:12angst the angst is part of the fun now i admit it there are times where you become almost a
01:18glutton
01:19right now i feel for mets fans because that owner was supposed to provide something that he just
01:26hasn't provided right now even though the mets beat the phillies last night the mets for example
01:31they look in large part like the mets did before they had that owner and that was not that's not
01:37what was supposed to happen and i already have people in my ear suggesting that they fire the general
01:41manager stearns and i can't disagree with that at some point you have to win in new york city okay
01:48but when the mets do eventually win because you just saw it with the knicks it's going to happen
01:5486 is nothing compared to 75 or 73 so it's nothing your time is coming the losses and all that
02:01is part
02:02of it the fun of sports is part of it and i think that in america i'll say this flat
02:08out we don't do a
02:09good enough job having fun with sports in fact i'll say we do a terrible job having fun with sports
02:14we stink when it comes to we're good at watching it we're good at building stadiums we're good at
02:19being passionate we're good at going but we're terrible at having fun you don't believe me well
02:24why don't you think about watching dominican look at the world baseball classic look at the dominican
02:28republic look at puerto rico look at those other countries and look at how we celebrate we suck at
02:33celebrating other countries do it better we're not good at having fun we have become a society of no fun
02:39which i kind of respect because i mean we do have bills to pay but you got to have fun
02:44sometimes
02:44and if you don't believe me if you think oh that's only a latin thing oh yeah why don't you
02:49show these
02:49uh norwegians okay listen to this and see what these norwegians do during their soccer games compared
02:55compared to what we do during games
03:16awesome how hype they are you hear how hype they are come in whoa whoa because they're from the the
03:22the vikings
03:24they're the descendants of the vikings and they're rolling across your your pitch to win that's fun
03:30meanwhile we do the stupid wave that's all we got that's all we got the stupid wave we don't have
03:37enough fun this is what soccer is teaching me okay this is why the world cup's important as good as
03:43american sports are and we love it right in football this is all the celebration we do we hold up
03:48a sign
03:48where somebody has a d and then a pick a picket fence and they go defense that's the one thing
03:55they do that stinks you have guys take off their shirts in the clothes never ladies how about you
04:00be fun one for once ladies okay they never take their shirts off in the stadiums okay you got that
04:05what else do we do in football we do nothing we do nothing fun oh they put on a dog
04:10mask in cleveland
04:11that's nothing before the game they jump through a damn table in buffalo that's nothing okay that's
04:17nothing there's nothing fun happening with the giants and the jets before the games and met life
04:21because people don't like that stadium philadelphia is great for tailgates but once the game starts
04:25it's all the same you cheer you boo we sing a fight song after a touchdown we need to do
04:32better with our
04:32celebrations and things like that we need to have more fun with our american sports with basketball with
04:37football baseball we need to have more fun look at what other countries do to celebrate just being at a
04:43game just being out there look what they do and compare it to what we do we need to loosen
04:48up a
04:48little bit and enjoy sports a lot more i appreciate the world cup for nothing else but adding that part
04:56of it okay it's adding a lot okay it makes me realize that when it comes to sports we're not
05:02doing a good
05:03enough job we're not having enough fun and we're the best country in the world let's be more creative
05:08we do more
05:08we do more
