You would think that if there were one thing people could agree on, despite their politics, it would be cheering for the United States in a sporting event. But no, not for Jeremy Scahill.
Scahill, a regular contributor for left-wing The Nation magazine, has dedicated the past several years of his life to an obsession over the defense contractor Xe Services LLC, formerly known as Blackwater. But apparently Scahill can't overcome his politics and take pride in his country's World Cup soccer team. In a series of posts on his Twitter account, Scahill vented his frustrations over cheering for the United States in the World Cup:

From his tweets he appears to be a 9/11 truther nutjob, too.
Democrats/Liberals/Progressives/leftists/ Socialists/Communists, or whatever they are calling themselves today...are Domestic Enemies.
I always cheer for the USA, except when they play soccer. Soccer is an inherently evil game. It teachers children to run around meaninglessly for 1.5 hours, then the game is decided on fluke goals. All those headers cause brain damage. Is it any wonder that countries which excel at soccer suck at everything else?
Borges said that the Nazis wanted to lose WWII because, deep in their hearts they knew that they were evil. In the same way the American team wanted to lose because deep in its heart it knew that soccer is evil. We owe them a debt of gratitude to the team for not further corrupting the youth of America.
Are you the founder of Keep Our Own Kids Safe?
Crazy rant. Head the ball a few too many times? LOL
I don’t care if he roots for a different countries soccer team or not. We each have our favorite players that make up the individual teams. Heck, you could live in NY and root for the Dogers or live in LA and root for the Clippers for all I care. But, those comments were over the top and not really against the team but against the country. But then again he’s a typical journalist.
Liberals define themselves by their hate.
I like Portugal’s soccer team but I’d never take their side over the USA.
If scribbling back in the thirties, Scabhill would undoubtedly be cheering for the Soviet Union as Stalin was murdering millions of his own citizens. All leftist scribblers are fantastic hypocrites.
I shall gladly contribute toward purchasing him a one way ticket to Ghana
Never heard of them. Are they a soccer hate group?
Crazy? You be the judge:
“A Norwegian study found that 35% of 69 Division I soccer players had abnormal electroencephalogram (EEG) patterns. This is more than twice the rate of abnormal EEG patterns in control subjects. Retired soccer players had several brain abnormalities including reduced cortical tissue and increased lateral ventricle size.”

Yeah, cause boxers, football- and hockey-players are in tip-top shape after their careers are over...
Unless you play chess, ANY sport will leave your body a wreck, if you play on a professional level.
