It just boggles my mind that people proclaim they don't care about the sport, then go out of their way to bash it, like this thread starter.

What I don't like is that the liberal media tries to foist soccer down our throats. See this thread about how liberals love soccer and conservatives don't.

I said I don't care who wins the World Cup, and I certainly do not.

Oh for God's sake. Footie is not a left wing, right wing thing. I am to the right of Atilla the Hun and I love footie. So do many Conservatives. It's a good excuse for a flag waving display.

You need to find a better excuse than this lame nonsense about the lefties to ignore the fact that America's team is actually in the World Cup. Why a Brit has to beat your head in about supporting your own team is beyond me.

Give me a break. The media, liberal or conservative, doesn't give a rat's ass about soccer. If you avoid the sports section in the paper, you probably wouldn't know the event exists.

The irony is that article was written by a conservative. And the other irony is he was pointing out that liking a sport has nothing to do with one's political beliefs, even though I know that idea is hard for some people here to grasp.

I said I don't care who wins the World Cup, and I certainly do not.

And I don't care if you do or not. You certainly care enough to start a thread about why you don't care about it. I don't care about NASCAR, but don't start threads about how I'm sick about hearing about it in the media, which you hear far, far, far more in the US media than soccer.

I can see that you're upset. Never fear, your conservative "credentials" are demonstrated by a vanity thread demonstrating how much you "hate" the sport. [laugh]
