Firstly, no the average American certainly wouldn’t be watching soccer.

Secondly, nationalism and fascism are two different things.

Third, Obama a statesman? Really?

Finally, she’s reading the situation wrong IMO. The problem as many Americans see it is not the very high end Indians and making lots of money in top jobs. The problem is that corporations have abused the H1B and other visa programs to bring in middle management types from India and elsewhere and pay them LESS than what an American would make to do that same job.

So not only is an American out that job but they’re also denied the chance to climb the corporate ladder or their career progress is delayed several years. Now add to that the staggering cost of American education and you get people with large debts who can’t get the kinds of jobs their expensive degrees were supposed to get them. This ruins their credit when they inevitably default or at the very least makes it impossible for them to ever get on the property ladder.

No wonder people are pissed.

LOL. You are dating yourself, there. Soccer and lacrosse to a lesser extent are booming. Football is dying outside of a few strongholds. It’s already gone in large swaths of the country. MLB has has in large part lost connection to the “average American” and now has a heavy Latin culture. The times they are changing. Good night.

Soccer watchers in America drink French ssoy wine, do they not? At least we no longer import slaves like upper-class Indians do.
