Gabe, except for the truly enlightened, everyone bashes soccer.
Now I will be the first to admit that only Lebron James flops more than the average soccer player. And I think the punishment for flopping should be much more severe. But there is a reason they call it "the beautiful game". Sure scores are lower than the U.S. audience would like but there are a number of valid criticisms of MLB, the NFL, and the NBA that the fans choose to ignore. I am a fan of American football, baseball, and college basketball (the NBA sucks eggs).
Let the haters hate. Soccer is the most popular sport in the world.
