Exactly. They’re all about “consensus”, and will use force when they can, to get a so-called “consensus”.
Much better, but the liberals won’t like it, especially the soccer boycott. HA!
Is someone forcing you to watch soccer? Are you under duress? Have you contacted the police or the FBI?
I don’t think that many people here who are being a bit snarky, really have a problem with soccer or its fans. I never think about soccer. I think ot’s just that in the public perception (Prius drivng soccer moms or something like that), soccer seems to be the sport of choice amongst the latte-sipping type liberal self-appointed elite, and so is a proxy for snarkng at those type of liberals. Then they (those types of liberals) go gettng all defensive and self-righteous about it (like the HucfPo twits), and lay themselves wide open for a snarky type such as Ann to snark all over them :)
Nope, I just enjoy snarkng at peole getting so riled up about it :)
NFL is ahead of you, there.
That’s true enough, lol.
As long as you are not one who whines that you didn’t appreciate the response after you got people riled up, it’s all good. I see it a lot, though.
LOL, that about sums it up!
We’re fine :). It’s gracious of you not to snark me over my numerous typos, in which I lay myself wide open, lol.
Yep, but not in a stadium.
I figure if soccer was really that gay there would be many more fruity celebratory dancing displays during all the stoppages. They certainly wouldn’t limit themselves to only breaking out the celebratory gyrating and chest pounding until after a goal is scored. If soccer was that gay, they would work it like the NFL. Where a 300+lb behemoth falls on a loose ball 3 minutes in, gets up, and executes some fruity prancing to let everyone wonder just how gay he is or isn’t. At least with actual gay football players you won’t have to wonder.

They should also wear skirts as they are so emasculated from their crybaby behavior on the field. All that indignant pouting too, like a 13-year-old girl who had her cellphone taken away by Daddy.
Well now that the "World Cup" is over, the good news is we have another four years before we have to go through this nonsense again.
Who gives a damn that you don’t give a damn?
...quite clearly, you do...
Franz Beckenbauer got his arm dislocated in the game between Germany and Russia in WC-1966. They taped that arm to his body and he played as a central defender for a good chunk of the game. And his team won on that occasion.
Football (soccer) players get stitched up on a routine basis and usually get back on the field. With that said, there are plenty of players faking various injuries and trying to get the advantage. As in real life, stakes are too high and reward is enormous. Diego Maradona’s God’s hand goal does not prevent him from being worshiped by millions (myself excluded).
Anyone who thinks football will teach your kid good intentions, decent values and polite manners is severely mistaken. As any professional sport, it is a reflection of modern society and basic human nature.
I attempted to watch one of the us matches to see what the hoopla was all about.
I lasted five minutes.
I decided to go rearrange my sock draw and read the final score on drudge instead.
Ugh....
No, not at all. As a purely psychological exercise, it’s amusing . . . the need to tell someone that you don’t care. It’s a fairly strong indication that you really do.
I find it hard to believe that soccer players “run” that many miles in a game. A lot of the time is spent standing, or trotting at best.
...shhh...don’t mess around with one of soccer’s all time great myths...
...Dana Perino on the Five made the offhand statement that a soccer players runs a half marathon each game...uh, Dana, no...
As a purely psychological exercise, it’s amusing . . .
...the last thing one could say about some of your responses is that you’re amused...
