Someone should introduce him to Lolo Jones.

Secretary of Defense..AMEN! Christian a bigger AMEN

So is Clint Dempsey along with many soccer superstars such as Neymar, Kaka (who will soon be playing in the MLS). There are a lot of Christian soccer players. That's why I laugh at all the soccer haters who reflexively think that soccer's rise in popularity is somehow due to mass immigration in the US. Actually, it's a pretty conservative-based sport.

[dfwgator]

Very true.

There are a lot of Christian soccer players.

Who would ever think otherwise, given the sport's popularity in latin America alone?

The two noted how a Wikipedia page temporarily changed to show Howard as U.S. Secretary of Defense instead of Chuck Hagel.

That's awesome. We'd be better off.

[Obadiah]

No offense intended, but I am speaking of evangelical Christians, not those who hold to Catholicism or even civic Catholicism, which indeed could mean a good portion of South and Central America.

Welcome to the age of “ad hominem” attacks. “If you like soccer, you must be a collectivist, girlie-man.” “Vote for disrespecting Reagan and for honoring Tim Howard.”

All of which is just bloviating to the herd. What began this train of illogical attacks: “If you don’t like Obamacare, you must be racist.”

No, it’s not a conservative sport…..the culture, and by that, the fans, the little leagues, etc, is a soccer mom liberal culture by and large. It’s great to see that Dempsey and Howard are Christians, but it’s a liberal sport over all.

Besides, the offsides rule is a socialist rule in a lot of ways.

Here's another news worth publishing: US World Cup Hero Clint Dempsey Says His Relationship With God Is Boosted by Soccer

QUOTES FROM US STRIKER CLINT DEMPSEY:

“In college, I joined a team Bible study. God’s Word brought me peace and a desire for a relationship with Him,” Dempsey said. “I found that questioning Him and searching for answers through Scripture helped me grow and gave me direction. Now my faith in Christ is what gives me confidence for the future. I know that through both good times and bad, He is faithful and will watch over me.”

“I pray for strength to walk the road before me. I play to the best of my abilities and am thankful for the many opportunities and amazing success He has given me. Through it all, I want to do right, not make mistakes, and live a life that is pleasing to Him,”

“the offsides rule is a socialist rule”

And here I thought the passing of the ball around was socialist.

[Obadiah]

Freakin' liberals!

[sakic]

Calling a sport liberal or conservative is bizarre thinking.

[Jabba the Nutt]

I’ve watched almost all the games and have noticed the number of players, who cross themselves coming into the game as a substitution and after scoring a goal. Liberals probably believe all this Christ stuff is American as burning crosses and lynchings.
