This is great. It hits very close to home. Except it was real football instead of the American variation…

I’m going to be so not surprised when Jake turns out to be gay.

I remember a Trekkie who said something along the lines of “Soccer fans have started wars over soccer, yet Trekkies are supposed to be the obsessed ones?

We never had Yu-Gi-Oh, but now that you mention it, there was a period where we sold Pokemon decks and they did pretty good for a while.

The shop I used to work in sold baseball cards…for a while.

Basketball cards lasted longer and sold a lot better, but they too eventually faded in popularity until all we sold were Magic cards.

You don’t see these as much anymore, but there used to be lots of combination baseball card / comic book shops. When I was a kid I collected both.

@ Algeya
You do know that the strip is referring to American football and not what we call “soccer” in this country. I like both, but many Americans despise soccer. I understand what you are trying to say, but I think your wrong. Comics can be just as strong of a socializing catalyst as sports. For some reason people who get into comics seem to be a little more socially awkward to me in my opinion. But to be clear, I have made just as many friends by reading comics as I have playing/watching sports.

Mrgbh the chicharito Beggs to differ In my country (he is the hero of my country)

Anyway at least from the rest of the world football soccer is great tool to make friends, it surpases countrys and lenguaje barriers,
You only Need a ball to play and everyone is in the same level on the field ( no discrimination)

Also in mexico it had a religious meaning in the aztec and maya empires since a couple of twins tricked and beaten the gods of the dead with a ball game

Maybe it looks the same as an outsider point of view but they are not

Josh should give his bro some Capitain tsubasa comics because its a great Comic about football and they could have some common ground and get along

Again I apologize for my rant I dont like much football myself I understand the sports importace, Ive traveled around the world and Seen the love the people have for football maybe my experience means nothing for my fellow Comic lovers friends that speak english
