But it’s not just because it’s so dull that I don’t like soccer. Another reason I don’t like it is because of the Americans who do like it. Most of these sports fans — a term I use with no regard for either word, “sports” or “fans” — wouldn’t know a fumble from a first down, a hit-and-run from a double play. But every four years they show up at bars and go wild when the American team ties the Tunisians zero-zero, or nil-nil, as they call it.

That's just stupid right there. I doubt HE wouldn't know an offside from a throw in, a yellow card from a red card, or a defender from a striker. Yet he thinks he knows enough about soccer to ridicule those that do like it. THAT is a sure sign of a liberal, IMO.

What surprises me the most about that line-of-argument is the assumption that a person can be a fan of one sport but not others. It’s “sports fan,” not “sport fan.”

Kinda funny how it seems the biggest critics of soccer seems to be liberal internationalist GOP

I am quite conservative and enjoy soccer. My nieces and nephews all play the sport...and their parents are even more conservative

I enjoy the World Cup because I like to see the US and our allies beat the bad guys on the pitch...of course...this may be what really bugs the one worlder internationalist soccer hater in this country
