I don’t know why everyone would get their panties in a wad about this. Soccer is the religion of most Americans with young children, and Sunday morning is usually devoted to soccer games. If anything, this commercial an almost-accurate critique of American priorities. (The inaccuracy being it’s not about Americans.) The truth hurts, I guess.
You make a very good point. What gets me is I think soccer is boring and I do not understand the rage for this “sport.”
Perhaps it is because we are in the south, but unless there is a tournament we never have scheduled games on Sunday morning and rarely Sunday afternoon. And my kids play soccer practically year round.
On tournament weekends we attend Saturday evening Mass so it’s all good, but my kids have had teammates who skip games to go to church.
What about the poor 7th Day Adventist or Jewish kids who worship on Saturday?
I don’t think its that bad either
