Not sure what you are meaning. I do remember seeing Howard make a Sign of the Cross on his forehead before the beginning of the US-Belgium game.

This conservative Catholic is certainly offended to be not considered “Christian.”

I would think the NBA is the Socialist sport....

Over 80% black players, few American whites, playing in mostly government funded arenas, forcing fellow owners out for not being politically correct....and players given “free throws” in reparations for fouls...

Just IMO

Score!

He may be a Christian, but he is a left wing moon bat.

All one has to do is ask why the MSM is pushing soccer so hard.

Pro Soccer’s popularity in the US is a barometer of the US’ descent in to the Europeanization that the leftists and liberals have pushed for so long.

American exceptionalism is a good thing.

Soccer is quite a primitive sport in terms of rules and play, but also in terms of fan base and behavior and fan experience compared to American games.

Better to patronize professional American football, which spends a month advocating abortion funding and your ticket purchase may be converted into the NFL PAC’s exclusive campaign contributions to Democrats!

That phenomenon of the NFL has taken place over the same time frame and for the same reasons that soccer has been pushed.

It reflects the same degeneration of US society.

American exceptionalism is in it’s “limited government” political philosophy, and not in what food, dressing code and sports Americans prefer or what language they speak!

This still not justify changing Reagan Airport to Tim Howard Airport.

“well now that would make the outlet pass fast break in hoops and the bomb in football socialist, by your definition….I think I’ll stick with mine…:)”

But in football, passes are more trickled-down, rather than free-for-all soccer passes.

Football passes have quarterback in firm control of the situation and the passes are based on merit. The only exception is the hail-mary. Well, we can’t have pure systems, can we? ;)

In order to achieve satire, one must do it in person or have superior writing skills. Neither was the case in this instance.

>> If you like soccer, you must be a collectivist, girlie-man.

Exactly.

Which no longer include capitalization for texting teens.

Guess you're one of those.
