According to a news report, Ann Coulter says Americans
who care about the World Cup are 'a sign of the nation's moral decay'
Coulter's case against soccer is far-ranging: it's
"foreign," you can't use your hands, liberal moms like it, and it
doesn't "present a constant threat of personal disgrace." "If
more 'Americans' are watching soccer today, it's only because of the
demographic switch effected by Teddy Kennedy's 1965 immigration law," she
concludes. "I promise you: No American whose great-grandfather was born
here is watching soccer."
I
never knew this woman was so dumb…and very much ignorant! Obviously, the
current world cup tournament in Brazil and the preponderance of immigrants in
the Team USA is irritating to her.
But,
first of all, does she know that whether born here (United States) or not, her
great-grandfather was still an immigrant…all the way from Europe?
Secondly,
does she even know where soccer originated from? The answer is Europe and that
was where her great-grandfather came from...a foreign land!
And,
thirdly, does she even have a elementary knowledge of soccer, basketball and
football? They all came from a “foreign” place called Europe!
The game of
Soccer was originally called football (and still is called football all over
the world except America). Basketball was devised from Netball. Football
was modified from an original sporting event called rugby (and it’s still
called rugby in Europe). And, of course, baseball was created out of cricket. None of the existing popular, sporting events in the United States originated from America!
Ann
Coulter may be an ultra-conservative Republican. That is fine by me because it’s
a free country we have in United States. And the fact that she is a rabid
racist is one factor that can only elicit sympathy from me. But must she be so
dumb on top of everything else?
