Title: Freestylers vs Regular Footballers - Quit Hatin!
Post by: Adi on Mar 04, 2011, 07:23: AM
Seriously, what's the deal with freestylers hating on regular footballers, and vice versa?  Can't we all just appreciate each other and not bitch?! 

Maybe it's different in the US than it is in Europe, but in the US I just want to see football as a whole grow.  If someone freestyles, I appreciate it because it helps draw the eye to freestyle and football as well.  Anything that can help the sport grow makes me happy.  In Europe, football is already God so maybe that's the difference.  Maybe you Europeans just want your own freestyle scene and will hate on football to draw attention to freestyle.  I don't know if regular footballers are pricks to you or what, but what's with the beef I'm sensing?

I figured freestylers would still have a love for football, and I know some do (Dan, Golo, etc.)

i think footballers hate freestylers way more than we hate them. its obvious why, we get more attention.
and my love for soccer has died a lot since i took up fs. i performed at big screen events during the world cup, both semis and for the final. i didnt bother watching the matches, i would just perform at half time, rest of the time i practised and enjoyed the free stuff  :grin:

I think freestylers hate on footballers, because we don't want to get compared to them... We often hear something like "That's useless in a match" or "You can't do that in a game", which evokes some kind of hate against these football players.

i don't have any problems with footballers. They are all impressed and like to watch, while other people don't give a shit.

i don't like football players in general
i hate people saying freestyle is easy or not for tough lads - while it requires so much will power, patience, hard work and commitment

We're not hating, we're just fed up with retarded comments and non stop comparisons with football(ers) which are disrespectful.

Also, it's mostly jokes, haven't seen that much (or any) actual HATE comments from freestylers towards football(ers), although I must admit some do go a bit too far with it, which was visible in the thread with FS shirts.

P.S. A good football player (especially those who have good or great technique) will 99% of the time have only positive comments for a freestyler, whereas the pathetic excuses for a footballer who can't dribble past a cone will always try to find something "smart" to say. ;)

I think it goes both ways Miran - if you are a freestyler who can't play football, you diss footballers.  I think that's what it is... if you're no good at the other sport, you hate on it. 

You don't have to be good at both and that's OK but be the bigger person and don't bitch about it. 

And why have groundmoves dissappeared?  They used to be real popular back in the day when freestyle got started.  I guess it had to do with the street football movement.  I think groundmoves could actually be used in real football in many ways.

That word isn't needed. Freestylers are not playing an irregular version of football.
95% of footballers say that to me when they want me to play football with them. "Hey Elias, I know you're great at football freestyle, haha, but how about you give regular football a go, ey?" - "No."
It's something that irritates me to no end.

The only reason I ever took up grounds is to panna some fuck nut who says freestyle is useless.
After that I tell him his soccer is useless.

We got guys like Ronaldo who freestyle and do tricks around the training pitch.  I think anyone who has skill on the pitch would appreciate a good freestyler.  It's those that don't have the ability who like to have a crack at freestylers.  I think this is simply jelousy and their inability to juggle a football more than 10 times.  I guess what I'm trying to say is, we shouldn't hate on footballers in general when it might only be those without skill who actually hate. :grin:

I love both football and freestyle but i do have to say that i prefer freestyle
I do think  that footballers hate on freestylers because in personal experience here where i live(US) people say
comments like showoff or u can't use that in a real game man does that piss me off.i also hear alot of comments
like freestylers can't play football or that they are not good at running or shooting.

I see you're quite new to freestyle, and also to the forum. Welcome here!

If you want to watch some awesome freestyle just look for Fx, Skora, Rocco, Luki, Palle just to name a few.
You won't like Billy anymore after seeing videos of the guys I've mentioned above.

Enjoy your stay on this forum!:)

i doubt carra would be very jealous of skora or palle or sean.  and cronaldo's "freestyle" is just fucking around, not proper freestyle.  not proper football either.  all his goals and everything effective involves him not fucking around.

neway why is this an issue anyway?  i like football and freestyle, but to me these are totally different things.  those retarded comments come because ppl don't kno freestyle.  u have to expect it and deal with it, or ur pathetic for not being able to deal with something that just comes with doing freestyle.  real HATERS are very few in number and can be ignored.  just keep doing what u want to and forget all this silly nonsense.
