America's Growing Interest in Soccer/The World Cup a Sign of 'Moral Decay', claims Ann Coulter
Daily Mail UK ^ | June 27, 2014 | David Mccormack

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.'

People that don’t understand or don’t like the game need to just shut up about it. The more they say, the dumber they sound.

Soccer may be good or it may be bad, but it cannot be denied that liberals hate America and love soccer and are constantly ramming it down our throats for one reason and one reason alone: France and the rest of the world love soccer and we do not. Therefore we are bad and must be made to love soccer.

"Why all the Ann hate?"

Because she has the personality profile of a liberal - smug and snarky, and does as much harm as good for the cause. People on the fence will usually not be won over by her demeanor. Also, her over-statements often divert attention from the real issue to herself.

I hope you are joking because otherwise that is a massive load of donkey crap. I’m as conservative as you can get as is my husband, my father, my brother...many of my south-western Virginia farmer, gun loving neighbors. We all LOVE soccer and have for as long as I can remember. What’s liberal about that?

Tongue in cheek criticism is Coulter’s stock in trade.
Yes, you would think more people would pick up on that and not take this rant so seriously. It seems pretty obvious that it is mostly, if not entirely, tongue in cheek.

And by the way, soccer is terrible.

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.

“Oh, lighten up. It was funny.”

Not in my opinion. Ann’s comments make her look like a complete idiot. Not only that but what moron actually believes liking soccer is “only for liberal”, “haters of America”, or some “conspiracy”. That is so out there her comments sound like something that would come out of Obama or Pelosi’s mouth except over global warming or the likes.

What a waste of space. I can re-state Ann's column in about 10 words.....

LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT ME! DAMMIT, EVERYBODY (anybody), LOOK AT ME!

Try again and read carefully what I said. Soccer may have been invented by Jesus and may be the only way to heaven, but LIBERALS RAM IT DOWN OUR THROATS ONLY BECAUSE FRANCE LOVES IT AND WE DO NOT. Bet your bottom dollar, if WE LOVED SOCCER THE WAY WE LOVE FOOTBALL, LIBERALS WOULD HATE SOCCER.
