[Rush] I still maintain to you there are people who are engineering what could well be disaster for the sport. Well, for the industry, the National Football League, who don't know they're doing it. Then there are others who do know they are doing it.

I've always thought that people up East thought that having their kids play rugby, lacrosse, and soccer was a way to one-up the suburban kids -- the ones who were going to hold doors for their kids, say "yes sir" to their kids, get coffee and so on.

The popularization of soccer in particular has been a very RiNO/DiNO thing, a very UMC thing. And the growth of rugby and lacrosse has always been an Ivy League/liberal art school phenomenon, or at least I've thought so.

Bill Bennett on "Morning in America" told on a woman he was conversing with last week in a group of suburban DC parents. The woman was enthusiastic about her kid's preschool, because, she said, "It's a feeder for Princeton."

Preschool. Princeton. Yeah, right. <Bennett guffawing>

Please don’t lump in Rugby with soccer. Rugby is a sport of equally vicious hits as football, a true team mentality, manliness, and more nationalism and country pride than ANY liberal could ever handle.
