Hey, soccer is a great sport, and it is not the bastion of liberalism that you profess. If anything, I suggest you have a talk with baseball and football fans, seeing as how they outnumber soccer fans by quite a large margin in the United States, it would be fair to say, it was their votes that put the Democrats in power.
Soccer is lame. Americans don’t like it or want it. It is shoved down our throats periodically and we are told to like the taste, but no one’s buying.
Further, you are completely wrong/deluded/blinded by your fandom. It’s the left who is/was always droning on and on about how “idiot redneck NASCAR/football fans are just too dumb to get soccer”, just do a quick search of FR for World Cup-era articles a few months back.
