Joe Rogan on Russian sports "All Their athletes are amateurs"

[ultrasonic]

Yeah, people totally like soccer. If the US cared, we'd dominate it like just about any other sport we show a passing interest in.

You got a point. Soccer and tennis are considered feminine sports in America.

Soccer is ranked 5th in popularity in the US...lol

I don't believe you.

 

[ChucksGlassJaw]

Kids in the US get beat up for participating in feminine sports like soccer and tennis.

 

[TeenageMutantLesnarTurtle]

Joe living large in the Murican bubble.

 

[kabanos]

It really fucking is number one bullshit.

Joe - come over here. See how European sport works. See one professional foorball (soccer) training center and you'll be pretty fucking stunned.

 

[Quebec Nick]

You got a point. Soccer and tennis are considered feminine sports in America.

Basketball is pretty much the same level of feminism than soccer

Same thing with baseball, which is american criquet

Merica got football, which is as ballsy as Rugby

lol, if, woulda, coulda....
not sure you dominate much anymore, the chinese do whatever they want in asia, you got nothing for them, even economically the'll soon be n°1, russians rig your elections,
with your mindset, it looks more like you guys are on the downside and won't dominate anything except most depised country rankings in a little while
sorry to break it down for you mate

 

[VirginNose]

I don't believe you.

Either look it up or shut the fuck up lmao

 

[Treeloy]

Hockey really Joe? Lol.

 

[ssBaldy]

We have professional football, basketball, volleyball, hockey teams. We have professional boxers, we have professional MMA promotions. Joe talked out of his ass.

What we don't have is college sports system. You have strong basketball, handegg, wrestling, baseball college leagues, which benefits the sports greatly, we don't.

 

[tjumper78]

rogan just thinks russia has stayed in the 60s and 70s.

 

[USA!USA!]

Someone struck a chord with Mr. Aichokyu lol - big mad

 

[Taric]

You wrong bro.

 

[Robbie Corleone]

Same guy who keeps spouting jones coke had steroids in it.

Not suprised

Couldn't believe he was telling Matt Brown that like it was almost certain that's what happened.

 

[Wariowokecancel]

Rogan is fucking ignorant.

Russian Soccer is huge. Much bigger than NFL in number of players.

Hockey is huge.

Basketball is huge.

Just because they don’t play football or baseball doesn’t mean they don’t have pro athletes

 

[Crimson Glory]

Three letters... K.H.L.

 

[gunlok]

Russian Soccer is huge.

I think it is called football

 

[Crimson Glory]

Rogan being extremely ignorant.

He's not a dumb guy, but he likes to talk out of his ass too much.

He's admitted himself, he doesn't even watch team sports, so what the hell is he doing talking about pro sports like Hockey, which Russia has been a force in for a loooooong time. He knows so little.

 

[Chagaev]

Amateurs in ex Soviets might not be the same as amateurs in USA, especially when it comes to Olympic sports.

Usually, there are some big clubs owned and sponsored by the state where an athlete has access to various sporting facilities, a medical team, food, supplements etc.

While having the status of an amateur, one trains 2-3 times a day, receives a salary and can live in a place owned by that club.
