Fortunately for liberals, soccer moms hear that a nominee is "extreme" and "out the mainstream" and are too frightened to ask for details. (Ironically, based on ticket sales and TV ratings, soccer is also out of the mainstream.)

Soccer . . . . ugh!

But oh-so-European and therefore loved by the left. Give me Americano football any day. As our 14-year old daughter said the other day as we sat in Kinnick stadium watching our beloved Hawkeyes pummel Penn State, "Whoever invented football must have been a genius!"

'"Whoever invented football must have been a genius!"'

Well, who DID invent American football? Soccer is called football around the world, even Australia. Rugby is called Rugby. Whenever I talk to my girlfriend about American football, (she's Vietnamese) I have to define it as American football. Surely, it predates Papa Bear, right?
