Why the Far Left Hates Baseball (Why the Far Right Hates Soccer)

Or something like that. That headline certainly makes as much sense as this deranged PC-rant from National Progressive Radio by way of the ancient leftist publication The Nation: “Why the Far Right Hates Soccer,” by Dave Zirin. Just when you think the lunatic fringe can’t get any nuttier, along comes this:

Ah so, but our crummy little team tied England yesterday, don’t you know? ;)

My English friend was also schooled today about an infamous Yank named Bill Buckner ;-)

I think golf is a complete waste of time.

You have to play it to appreciate it.

I have played,, I enjoyed driving the golf cart the most. Golf sucks. I'd much rather be fishing or at the rifle range.

Baseball is one sport where the game (at least on paper) can never end. I like that. No other game has that except maybe tennis. I hate tennis. To hell with 4 quarters, 90 minutes etc. give me infinity.

Too late and I was just getting warmed up.

Might as well use the one I had in the chamber.

I don’t hate soccer, it’s nice for lower grade school children to play.

Did ya notice it was the pubic government schools that pushed soccer on all the little kiddies?
