Bashing soccer really gets the liberals worked up.

Soccer gets the neocons worked up first.

Are you calling Okla a neocon? I saw in the other thread, he opposes going into Iraq.

You're right. In retrospect, I wish I'd said "xenophobes".

how much hairspray do you think those soccer players go through each season?

I thought you liked the Mavericks and their Obama supporting owner?

I do but I haven't watched them in almost a decade. I don't care that Cuban "supports" Obama, that's on him. I still like him.

Anyone playing hooky for the game?

People don't spend all their time bashing bowling or volleyball or field hockey. Why bash soccer? Just because it has kinda caught on for a few weeks? It's not like it is superseding any other important events right now. Football doesn't start until August, NBA and NHL just ended. College basketball was over in March. There's literally nothing else going on right now sports wise - this gives us something to watch.

I was with you until you snubbed MLB.

Haha - whoops....what can I say - I'm a baseball hater...I just wouldn't bash it in a thread

Rather than call it hooky I call it "meeting with a potential customer". Of course we will have a few brews so my afternoon will be very unproductive.

Has Ann Coulter played a sport in her life? What a joke.

She hates anything that has to do with teamwork....reminds her too much of socialism imo. So yeah, I'm sure she hates all team sports.....Seems like she'd be a big tennis and golf fan.

Obviously nsfw.

" Sure, I've been called a xenophobe, but the truth is, I'm not. I honestly just feel that America is the best country and the other countries aren't as good. That used to be called patriotism."

Agreed. Only 2 of the points were about the sport itself, and the point about there being no individual achievement in soccer is just wrong. Try telling a player who just scored a winning goal or just missed a crucial penalty kick that there is no individualism.

But my favorite part has to be this:

Quote:Liberals get angry and tell us that the metric system is more "rational" than the measurements everyone understands. This is ridiculous. An inch is the width of a man's thumb, a foot the length of his foot, a yard the length of his belt. That's easy to visualize. How do you visualize 147.2 centimeters?

Besides being not at all related to soccer except for the fact that they are both foreign, the metric system is more rational. I can convert 147.2 centimeters to kilometers a lot faster than i can convert 147.2 inches to miles.
Also, whats tough about visualizing one foot as the length of a mans foot? I don't know, maybe the fact that people have different sized feet?

You're not going to believe me, but it's had a negative impact on me. I'll tell you how though.

Just try to type #ECU into twitter. The damn Ecuadorian flag pops up next to it b/c it's the world cup. We're moving conferences and hiring coaches but thanks to SOCCER all of our news is getting mixed up with some country in South America! No one will see our hashtags.

Yeah, I learned in grade school that it was a myth that the "foot" was actually measured by human feet. I guess Ms. Coulter missed that at Cornell.

The article is filled with so many ridiculous statements and completely fabricated points that it isn't even worth getting worked up about because she is just attempting to troll her audience.

Heh, I love America fine. Better than I like the rest of the world. I'm just not afraid of the rest of the world either.

Soccer's a difficult sport to play, and is entertaining to those who understand it.

People who ***** the loudest about it are generally people who've never played it, and if they did, it was before the age of 10.
