Conservative pundit Ann Coulter believes that the country’s growing interest in soccer – fueled by Team USA’s success in the 2014 World Cup - is a sure sign of America's ‘moral decay.’
Coulter’s reasons for hating soccer include that individual achievement is not a big factor, it isn’t rough enough, and the fact that ‘it's foreign.’
As a conservative she argued that liberals only love soccer - and the metric system - because they're both 'European.'

I did fail to consider changes in strategy. But there is no question that the league has changed the rules in order to favor offense. In fact, one could consider the possibility that NFL games of this day, if played under the rules of the 1960’s, would essentially be scoreless. Simply because of the increased athleticism of all the players, and 1960’s rules favoring defense.
I should emphasize that my comments are directed at some of the fans, who seem to be European wannabees, not at soccer itself, which I do not consider to be a “weenie” sport. I even watch the Tour de France bicycle race.

As I was saying, movement doesn’t necessarily equal action.
Coulter is ignorant and jumped the shark long ago after her multiple attacks on conservatives.
Good one, dude! Very good.
Very good point. I highly doubt that there are many flag waiving libs in Sam’s Army or the American Outlaws.
But as far as the chants go, the Euro versions simply are superior. Seriously, how many times does one need to hear someone chanting the word "defense" over and over again?
Torres Chant - [Manchester] United version
ADULTS ONLY
Well, there may be. I just find it funny that there are people out there who think that libs keep Oliver Hazard Perry’s “Don’t Give Up the Ship” battle flag in their closet, waiting for this sort of an occasion.

The propensity to see sinister plots everywhere is disturbing and embarrassing.
Well it sounds exactly the same reasons I have heard from Other New Zealanders who don’t care for soccer. This is from John Roughan:
http://m.nzherald.co.nz/opinion/news/article.cfm?c_id=466&objectid=11273595
“Football (still doesn’t sound right) is not a New Zealand game. It doesn’t suit us. We don’t do delicate footwork. We don’t kick the ball back to our own goal if we can help it. We don’t drop to the grass and writhe in agony at the slightest bodily contact, and we certainly don’t run about with our shirt raised to expose a sparrow chest in ecstasy that we have scored.”
Except that 1. Rough an is about as far from Ann Coulter’s politics as you get, I know a few guys who adore Obama and are Green Party supporters, 2. Rough an doesn’t like or particularly care about the Yanks, and 3. Roughan especially doesn’t care about American conservatives in particular.
Either Ann Coulter is really ranting, but more likely with my British-like habit of reading between the lines she was being tongue in cheek in writing this. The English love writing this type of stuff just to bait their political opponents. Just like John Roughan.
I don’t know anything about American soccer fans’ culture or soccer mums, but British soccer fans make American American football fans in the States look like primary school boy choirs in comparison.
Anyway, I thought from my British-influenced habit of reading between the lines, that Coulter is.being tongue in cheek and baiting her political opponents here. It’s not an article to be taken seriously at face value.
See my post 133, I thought Coulter is being tongue in cheek. I have read exactly same thing from John Roughan at the NewZealand Herald and tran Kiwi for Anerican specifics is the same article. Except a rough an doesn’t like the US and doesn’t particularly care for Americans, particularly American conservatives.
I have known New Zealand anti-American leftists make the same comments that soccer is boring, and “in-Kiwi”, so well you are siding with the anti-American leftists on this. ;-)
Lots of dependable sources....when you have fish to fry.
Yes. I know
Soccer - a transplanted euroweenie non-sport, where little Sara can play with little Johnny and no one gets hurt and everyone gets a trophy.
I think soccer is boring, but this is stupid. It’s a game. There is no actual political point to ANY sport. If you like it, you like it; If you don’t, you don’t.
Given that soccer was invented and exported by the English and Scots and Irish, and is played by those people, and the likes of the Germans, Poles, Russians etc, I fail to see how those people are ‘weenies’.
