:::You're right about liberalism, but I don't think I understand your point. Besides not refuting or arguing any of my points, I think you're just implying I'm a lib because I know about basketball. You're wrong. Basketball fans tend to be libs because many of them are black (who vote overwhelmingly for dems). I'm neither black nor liberal, so your whole point is moot. Either way, MLB also has a luxury tax (they call it a "competitive balance tax") and a revenue sharing program that works very similarly to the NBA.

::::I understand your point- American sports are the most socialist. We are not going to remove the reference to soccer because of your argument. Also, when blacks only make up 14% of the population, the popularity of basketball reaches far beyond skin color. --[[User:Jpatt|Jpatt]] 15:28, 7 July 2011 (EDT)

Let me explain where the socialism section came from. I had seen on the main page that day, there was a front page news entry from a blog (possibly two or three blogs) comparing soccer to socialism. I don't remember if the blogs were being serious or satirical, but it was on the front page of Conservapedia. I then happened to stumble on the Soccer article and noticed it had been changed to "a popular Socialist football sport" with no explanation given. As the front page gets replaced with new news, I took the Socialism into its own section, sourcing the original blogs, to avoid the Soccer article not making sense and sounding silly. As this has become quite a topic for debate, I just thought I should mention what the section is about, and where it came from, before we make any decisions. -[[User:Danq|danq]] 00:22, 7 July 2011 (EDT)
