I'd love to hear it.
Not everyone who plays soccer is overpaid. In fact, 90% of us aren't paid at all. Of course it's ridiculous at the top levels, so is every sport, eaten up by commercialism.

Long & boring? - I agree, it's not the most exciting sport in the world to watch.

Don't they halt football games for TV adverts in the US?
Yes, but in between the players actually hit someone.

The more I think about it the more I see soccer/football as a metaphor for Europe in general. Third grade girls who would rater kick others in the shins than stand up and play ball.
