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.
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.
Heh, no pretzel logic here...I think is is far more excruciatingly boring than baseball.
The fact that the most vocal supporters of the sport in this country are either immigrants, illegals, or liberals is just expected.
I have no problem with immigrants who enjoy it, I expect that and like it.
For illegals and Libs, it is another reason to hold them in low regard, as if I needed more.
For conservatives who like it, I have no issue since it is their business. Heck, I like drum & bugle corps, and I don’t care if anyone else likes it...it’s my business!
