Yeah, libs and immigrants are sneaky that way.
Remember when the media tried to foist British soccer star David Beckham and his permanently camera-ready wife on us a few years ago? Their arrival in America was heralded with 24-7 news coverage. That lasted about two days. Ratings tanked. No one cared.
If more “Americans” are watching soccer today, it’s only because of the demographic switch effected by Teddy Kennedy’s 1965 immigration law. I promise you: No American whose great-grandfather was born here is watching soccer. One can only hope that, in addition to learning English, these new Americans will drop their soccer fetish with time.

Coulter hit a grand slam and TKO with this article....
Right in the ten ring.
‘Soccer is baseball by another name.’
Baseball is in a class completely by itself. No other popular team pro sport has the defense being in charge of the ball. It gives it a completely different feel than basketball, hockey, football or soccer. And there are some tremendously ridiculous home run calls and walk off calls in baseball.
Only baseball has any sort of effective self policing in this era. And it still has its jerk problems. Hockey comes closest. These other sports with penalty systems, modern star-biased officiating and/or short seasons where each game is so important that you can’t commit penalties that affect the outcome of the game create massive jerk wads. Dancing around and chest pounding after even a mundane play, I mean come on. At least in hockey and soccer they don’t break out the buffoonery 30 times during a game.

Well, that would explain why more people watch USA soccer on ESPN instead of Univision. Or maybe not.
Boy, when she’s right, she’s right. Joe Scarborough is orgasmic about this stupid third-world game. He invites men with annoying British accents on to comment on this inane sport while baseball goes unreported. Grrrrr!
That may be the city but not the team. The Niners get the same rap because of San Francisco.
The two meanest, baddest, toughest teams in the NFL are the seahawks and Niners.
Yeah, I'm a Niner fan and see you next year again in the NFC Championship!
Thing about USA soccer, as opposed to baseball or even being President, one needs to be a US citizen to play.
I like the Aztec-Mayan version of Soccer. When a score is made, the teams get to strip the spectators of all gold and jewels.
And the losing team gets their hearts cut out.
Now THAT is playing for keeps!
Soccer? Univision?
wow...
Look boyrude, the government turned the U.S. into a foreign flop house, made citizenship all but pointless....Were talking tens of millions of foreigners and illegals. Obama got voted into office by half the stinking country...lol
Of course there are those who'll watch soccer...gezzz.
And that’s my point. Are these commies and illegals trying to trick us by waving US and Gadsden flags and chanting U-S-A? If so . . . .
She could have written an entire article about the Soccer floppers. Ow-—weee!
I like that it is so hard to score a goal in soccer, I think that’s pretty unique. Seems to me the current trend of equating the sport’s potential to score points, goals, or runs so easily with great entertainment is definitely part of the general liberal trend nowadays. Give me a 1-0 complete game shut-out any day. Can’t say I’m a huge fan of ending in a tie or both scoreless, though.

...and after several days maybe someone would suddenly die.
In college I was on the varsity soccer team - - even though I played, it was boring. After that season I played Rugby. Loved it. That’s a man’s game.
Are these commies and illegals trying to trick us by waving US and Gadsden flags and chanting U-S-A?
Why yes they are boyrude.
You not noticing is no surprise.
Are these commies and illegals trying to trick us by waving US and Gadsden flags and chanting U-S-A?
You don't get out much do ya?
How did ya get so naive boyrude?
While I LOVE the NFL, I quite enjoy soccer especially the World Cup. Some amazing athletes.
You see the clock running, but it’s not running down. It’s going the other way. So your jaw is resting on your chin, eyes glazed over, and you’re thinking to yourself, “Will this ever be over?”
It’s something like listening in church to a blowhard right out of seminary, and the clock is at 163:00 and gaining, then some faggot runs onto the field, blows a whistle, waving his arms and everybody trudges off a field the size of Rhode Island.
And you’re sitting there thinking, “I’ll never get those two hours, or however long it was, back.”
Soccer is for kids who can’t hit the ball.
It appears to me that, because of your antipathy (or apathy) regarding soccer, you are ascribing your political beliefs on its fans. That’s a serious problem and I hope you get professional help.
