I just can’t help but believe that the rise of soccer in America is somehow linked to the decline of culture in America.

Utter nonsense! I'm no fan of soccer either (hate it, actually). But soccer linked to the "decline of culture in America"?

Soccer is just hockey -- hockey without the ice, the skates, the sticks, the pucks, the speed, the blood, and the errant tooth.

My nephew is a fantastically talented soccer player. He also happens to be a staunch conservative. He's no pussy. (And he has all his teeth!)

If you really see soccer as a link to the decline of American culture, then you have missed some *REALLY* big elephants in the room.

Hockey isn’t hockey without those things so I don’t see how soccer is hockey when you’ve made hockey no longer hockey.

“My nephew is a fantastically talented soccer player. He also happens to be a staunch conservative. He’s no pussy. (And he has all his teeth!)”

Wait until you find out he’s gay. Yes, I’m just kidding.

“If you really see soccer as a link to the decline of American culture, then you have missed some *REALLY* big elephants in the room.”

Nope. Not a one. I didn’t say soccer caused it. I said soccer is “somehow linked to the decline of culture in America.”
