whenever i see something like this, where someone in America says something on TV that is plain stupid, or ignorant, or hateful, i find myself glad that if they tried here (Great Britain) they'd be laughed at, ignored, and told to stop being silly.
still makes me laugh what happened to david blaine in his glass box in london.
and what we did to Bieber....

You are missing the point. Plenty of stupidity in the world but in America, it is and continues to be a respectable professional career choice unlike the rest of the world where it is mostly just socially accepted and a way of life.
Unless you commit atrocities like the ones you refer to. Allow me to be frank. You will not like me. You will not like me now, and you will not like men++ a good deal less as we go on. |

This sentence makes no sense to me. Its bad for stupidity to be a career choice, but its good for stupidity to be socially accepted and a way of life. So your point is. what, that socially accepted ways of life are unfit things to make a career of?

"Native" Americans are immigrants too, they crossed over here from Asia. And they were doing a pretty good job of killing and enslaving each other before the next wave of immigrants showed up. Same ole stuff, was just a different day.
But whatever. Ann Coulter is Ann Coulter. She is not the US, we are too diverse and complex to be labeled so easily. And anyone who takes any one of us and says "See, this is America" misses the point.

Hmm? speak for yourself? I'm a native, I was born here. Thing of it is, you would need to pretty much ignore world history to just point out people living in the US. So like, the English are just immigrants living in England, too?
But I know were you get that from, how it's usually used here (or misused), who uses it for what purpose, and I just don't agree with it as it's not logical to world history. I didn't immigrate from anywhere, I'm an American. You shouldn't even call them "Indians", they're not from India last I checked. It's like the whole "red skins" controversy here now (American football), while people act all outraged over a name to have it removed while they call them "Indians"... lol. |

That article is just a polemic, but I think she *might* have a valid point if you look past the tone. The US has it's own domestic sports, and if you want to preserve (and to a degree protect) that heritage, it's worth treating football (soccer) carefully. It's not just about the game itself, there's a multi-billion corporate machine behind it. FIFA etc aren't exactly known for their code of conduct or ethical practice. They will try to steamroll domestic sports to make money.
Perhaps the various sports corporations should be allowed to scrap over it in the most public and hilarious way possible, for the entertainment value. It'd probably be simpler to openly say "We're just fighting over your money here" but where's the soundbite in that? TO THE RIPARDMOBILE! |

It's purely political nonsense. When ethnic debates pop up here those who claim to be 'English' tend to cite their heritage dates back to 1066 which is a bit er, odd. I'm English by birth but not by ethnicity, so teasing people who get really riled up over it is something of a hobby. Ahem. But if someone wants to start a row over it, I'll point out that the Welsh are actually the indigenous population here, then scurry away to watch the head explosion from a safe distance ;) TO THE RIPARDMOBILE! |

Hehe!
Ah! American Football!
That's Rugby for wimps as they have to wear protection and stop playing every few minutes for a long rest
As for the original poster.
'English Style Football' died back in the 1970's when making money became the only reason to play. So the American term 'Soccer' is rather appropriate as all that is left is a corrupt international big business. Bent on making money anyway it can!
Most likely why US 'American Football' owners now own Britsh teams! |

Your heritage is indeed as immigrant.

Thanks. ed: Football is a great name for the European version for obvious reasons. I'm not sure why the American sport is called football though. The ball is only occasionally kicked, and is pretty much tossed around....using the hands. But handball is already taken, so what's to do ??

Probably Coulter is no worst than some of our european nutjobs. Just they speak non-English languages, live in smaller countries and there's not much money in letting them spread their nonsense on the media.
