Soccer, like gay marriage, is just something I’m never going to go in for.
In Eireann, we called soccer “the foreign game”. Gaelic football was way more popular, as was rugby.
Ok, so how many people were polled? Can’t find it.
>> During the World Cup or otherwise, Hispanics are by far the most loyal followers of soccer. 36 percent of Latinos identified themselves as regular soccer followers, double that of the overall population, while this figure jumped to 47 percent as World Cup fever took hold (against 30 percent of total population).
No way! You’re kidding /s
I said it before: soccer may or may not be a gift from God Almighty himself, it may be the quickest and ONLY way to Heaven, BUT... Liberals love it ONLY because Americans have not embraced it and France has. And for that reason, I will never embrace it. BTW, liberals HATE football with a burning, Satanic passion because it is HUGE, it is AMERICAN, and it is FINANCIALLY SUCCESSFUL on a Biblical scale.
I see soccer as more of a sport that makes you feel superior about yourself.
Yawn.
I agree with everything you say. Oddly enough, Bob Beckel was denouncing soccer today with all the strength in his oversized body. I was shocked! Pleasantly shocked. The attempted destruction of football by libs scares me to death. I’m worried they’re going to legislate it out of existence.
That’s how liberals see it for sure. France loves it, America does not, therefore it MUST be great.
And don’t forget the flip side of the coin. You feel superior for not liking it.
It’s funny to watch “conservatives” twist themselves into pretzels in order to convince themselves not to cheer for the USA in a sporting event. Don’t care about Beckel.
No, those “ tough guy” ex-players are going to destroy the NFL via their lawsuits, like a bunch of pansy leftists. Soccer wll be the only man’s sport left.
You do realize that libs have a burning desire to coopt the popular culture? Surely you would not ever deny that in 100 billion trillion years. Movies, tv, books, music, etc. Do you honestly believe that liberals have, or would ever, neglect sports? Liberals hate football with a frenzy that Satan would admire, and they love soccer just as passionately for the same reasons. Americans do not care about soccer, and the French do, therefore the libs ram it down our throats, violently, passionately, and frequently. Now, notice, this train of thought says NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING about soccer itself. Soccer may or may not be sent from Heaven, but liberals love it and promote it because they HATE America. You can like or love soccer; that’s fine. I like wine, even though liberals like it because the French do. But I DO recognize that there are people out there who “like” wine and soccer only because Americans like beer and football.
Not so much superior as not as easily led.
Yes! Libs are out to destroy football, because it is AMERICAN, it is SUCCESSFUL on a GIGANTIC, AMERICAN SCALE, and it is violent.
Get a friggin’ grip. It’s a sport. You are not going to wake up tomorrow with a soccer player under your bed.
And people get concussions. And then brain damage! As if football players had that much brain power to begin with. We actually have stupid, wealthy ex-players condemning the game. It’s sick.
Get a grip. I never said I would wake up with an SP under my bed. You can like soccer, you can love soccer, but if you do not recognize that libs love soccer because Americans, as a whole, do not, and the French do, then you are not very perceptive.
