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.

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

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