There are plenty of things to love about the World Cup, but mainly the real reason is getting the chance to support your country with your family and friends while watching sexy men run around a field for 90 minutes!
However, Ann Coulter doesn’t really see it that way!
In fact, the super conservative commentator wrote an entire post on her website about how much she HATES the World Cup and all of its supporters! It starts on an odd note with Ann venting over the fact that it’s too much of a team sport, because apparently having teammates makes you weak.
However, after complaining about games ending in ties and soccer players’ blasphemous decision to not use their hands, things took an ugly turn when she complained about futbol being too foreign! That’s right! She writes:
“It’s foreign. In fact, that’s the precise reason the Times is constantly hectoring Americans to love soccer. One group of sports fans with whom soccer is not “catching on” at all, is African-Americans. They remain distinctly unimpressed by the fact that the French like it.”
We always forget that Ann Coulter is the national spokesperson for African-Americans and their views on soccer…
She also went on to argue that soccer will never catch on in the U.S., and the only people who really even like it are immigrants and foreigners. She ended with this offensive nugget, saying:
“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.”
Wow. So basically to be a real “American,” you have to learn english and hate soccer. Unless you’re great-grandfather was born here, of course. Then you might as well have an American flag tattooed to your forehead, because according to Ann, you’re ‘Merican baby!
The beauty of sporting events like the World Cup and the Olympics is that it brings so many cultures together for a few weeks, and no matter what’s going on in the world at the time we all have one shared interested we can all enjoy together as a whole. Maybe Ann will be able to get that through her head one day.
