I don’t care how much I get flamed for this, but I agree with Ann on this point.

It might not be “moral decay”, but it certainly is cultural decay.

America sports are baseball and gridiron football.
“Multicultural” sports include soccer.

See post 38. I really have no respect for people who are so stupid they do not see a liberal conspiracy behind pushing soccer. Again, soccer itself may be good or bad, but that doesn’t change the fact that libs love it only because they hate America.

Baseball and ‘football’ aren’t American. Both are English by birth. Basketball was the idea of a Canadian, ice hockey is also Canadian, golf Scottish, tennis English. Lacrosse is Native American-French.

I neither agree nor disagree on this one. Ann simply has an opinion and I truly enjoy reading her.
I personally watch soccer every four years and to Ann's point, my great-grandfather wasn't born here. But every four years we hear the same old-same old: America is embracing soccer! No we ain't. We're just watching the biggest sport spectacle before the NFL season starts and in the middle of dog days of summer baseball. It helps having the U.S. in the thick of it but after this World Cup, it'll be another four years before ‘mercans give professional soccer the time of day.
