• Any growing interest in soccer a sign of nation's moral decay, by true American™ saint: Ann Coulter

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. • You can't use your hands in soccer. (Thus eliminating the danger of having to catch a fly ball.) What sets man apart from the lesser beasts, besides a soul, is that we have opposable thumbs. Our hands can hold things. Here's a great idea: Let's create a game where you're not allowed to use them! • Soccer is like the metric system, which liberals also adore because it's European. Naturally, the metric system emerged from the French Revolution, during the brief intervals when they weren't committing mass murder by guillotine.

Lock her up with the other mentally ill people in the closed ward.
good god it's just a sport sure it's fun to watch but no need to get over dramatic about it.
You know it's concerning when I can't discern between the words of a politician and a random hobo on the street.
It starts with football, and before you know it you'll be singing L'Internationale and burning the bourgeois :v: The European master plan to reclaim our former colonies is coming to fruition.

Ah yes, I love soccer because of the French revolution also because of the possibility of co-ed pre-school teams. Thanks for reminding me Ann.
Come one, guys. Don't tell me you haven't figured out Ann Coulter is nothing more than a mercenary rabble-rouser. She wakes up in the morning, looks at the headlines, and tries to come up with the most outrageous and offensive things to say about them. It's all about keeping her name in the national consciousness so idiots will buy her books and pay her for talk show appearances.
"• You can't use your hands in soccer. (Thus eliminating the danger of having to catch a fly ball.) What sets man apart from the lesser beasts, besides a soul, is that we have opposable thumbs.

No sorry that's rude, why do PEOPLE IN GENERAL let people like this get famous? She's a fucking idiot by the sounds of it.
She doesn't even deserve the time of day from us. No need to be upset. She's a troll.
She's the same one that on National Coming Out Day should be "National Disown Your Son Day". She's weird.
[quote]I've held off on writing about soccer for a decade — or about the length of the average soccer game[/quote] Do many Americans see it as overly long? I didn't know anyone thought this
[QUOTE]I promise you: No American whose great-grandfather was born here is watching soccer.[/QUOTE] it's finally happened, conservative pundits are finally admitting they are nationalists
Isn't American Football something like an hour? Soccer is only 30 minutes more
[QUOTE=smurfy;45221840]Do many Americans see it as overly long? I didn't know anyone thought this[/QUOTE] Most Americans see it as a long time without many points, as opposed to American Football/Basketball. Length isn't that much
Maybe she just enjoys watching 5 minutes of American football and a few hours of commercials instead of watching the sport be played
She's upset Americans are starting to enjoy playing sports together with the rest of the world, instead of circlejerking in World Championships where they only play against themselves.
[QUOTE=Zillamaster55;45221862]Most Americans see it as a long time without many points, as opposed to American Football/Basketball. Length isn't that much[/QUOTE] It's also lacking frequent Commercial breaks that most "American" sports have.
This certainly tops anything the onion has done on the world cup
[QUOTE=Zillamaster55;45221835]She's the same one that on National Coming Out Day should be "National Disown Your Son Day". She's weird.[/QUOTE] That's evil
This must be a satire
Some day I want someone to ask her: How is your ideal America ran like? Because I know it'd be fucking hilarious
Yes, how could we so blind and forgetful in this, the Puritan States of America.
[QUOTE=Sir Whoopsalot;45221777]You know it's concerning when I can't discern between the words of a politician and a random hobo on the street.[/QUOTE] she's not a politician, she's a "journalist" also it's just some garbage opinion piece by an idiot
Ann Coulter is a troll. Her job is to say shit that stirs up liberals. She doesn't believe what she says (or at least not most of it), she's playing a character, and a very terrible, bitchy, shrewish character at that. She's being paid well to make sure she says enough shit to keep people feeding her and bringing in advertising dollars and (usually Tea Party and half-retarded) viewer interaction for Fox.

Why do we want to have to ridicule them and be deeply offended if they disagree with us? COULTER: Because they speak French. COLMES: There's something else I want to point out about the French. Is it's fashionable again on your side to denounce the French. COULTER: We like the English-speaking Canadians.[/QUOTE] Tucker Carlson is a fucking dummy, too, but never mind. Just listen to the clip and when Ann starts talking shit about Canada being allowed to exist, the other hosts are like "ooh! ooooh!" like they're waiting to say "sick burn!" on camera next.
"Not all Muslims may be terrorists, but all terrorists are Muslims — at least all terrorists capable of assembling a murderous plot against America that leaves 7,000 people dead in under two hours. How are we to distinguish the peaceful Muslims from the fanatical, homicidal Muslims about to murder thousands of our fellow citizens? " "It would be a much better country if women did not vote. That is simply a fact. In fact, in every presidential election since 1950 — except Goldwater in '64 — the Republican would have won, if only the men had voted. " "I'm getting a little fed up with hearing about, oh, civilian casualties. I think we ought to nuke North Korea right now just to give the rest of the world a warning." "I wouldn't kill an abortionist myself, but I wouldn't want to impose my moral values on others." - Ann Coulter
I remember she did an AMA on reddit, and someone asked her what she though of trans (transsexuals). Instead Ann gave an answer about being disappointed trans airlines shut down (or something along those lines).

Maneuvering a ball with your feet or with your hands? And what does the metric system even have to do with mass murder by guillotine? So I guess when americans weren't busy whipping black people, they were thinking about starting the industrial revolution or thinking about making the first industrial assembly line. Same kind of comparison I'd say! Maybe " "americans" " like watching something other than pussy rugby. Maybe people have, like, different tastes in sports. Here's my take on the article: Maybe if people like the article writter stopped writting their shitty ideas that probably passed through the ass on the way out, there wouldn't be such intelligence decay in the nation that is America!
