I forget when I stopped reading, but it was about the time I realized this woman is either a brilliant troll or the next Glenn Beck. Her bullet points became progressively ridiculous and mockable and I just lost interest because sadly, she will be championed for this opinion by a vocal minority of the country and amplified through biased networks.
There's not much I can say. Anyone with half a brain and an ego that's not too big to accept another well known sport that is undeniably bigger than anything here in the states is on the same level as American Football should gloss over this article.
I love American Football. Love it. I call it Football and I don't care that the rest of the world mocks me for it and refers to it as hand egg. I don't like Soccer, or Futbol. My reasons are pretty good actually. I like the drama and suspense occurring between every play in baseball and every down in football. I like the strategies coming out of the dugouts and sidelines, there is a whole 'nother level going on besides what the players are doing on the field. I am not a fan of constant in motion sports like Soccer, Basketball and Tennis and the like. But THAT'S JUST ME. That is what I like and dislike and I laid out my reasons for it.
It has nothing to do with where the sport was born or my ethnicity. Personally, I think Miss Coulter would be surprised to find out the types of people who watch soccer, but she probably didn't bother to look because it might disagree with her theories and arguments about the direction our country is taking. In fact, it seems she views soccer as a sissy sport. While I wouldn't dare compare it to contact football, her aggressive stance on the issue seems to suggest our society should be writhing with bare chested vikings beating their chests with spiked maces for fun, or perhaps we should just bring back the roman gladiators. I love the violence of contact football but dear lord don't paint our society as barbarians please.....

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.
I'm going to stick with the fact that the football is nearly a foot long.

Thanks for that. All afternoon I've been picturing Ann Coulter as a dangerous Serengeti land mammal in the crosshairs of a poacher. It was really confusing to me emotionally.
