Americans do not like Soccer

[parmandur.livejournal.com]

This isn't actually serious. Every few years, when the American public is again made aware of the international status of Soccer, breaks out some wisecracks, many of which make it into the media. Offensive, probably, but it is what it is.

This is probably both the most offensive, and the most humorous of this latest batch: http://www.theonion.com/video/soccer-officially-announces-it-is-gay,17603/

Everything "American Thinker" publishes is serious. That lot have the sense of humour of the Ayatollah Khomeini.

Not so. I recall a rather amusing satirical article about "universal gun care" a while back. That being said, this article does not appear to be in the same vein. Yet while the overall accusation is silly, the point about low scores is a real reason many Americans give for not being able to get excited about the sport.

Low scores? You mean like in, uh, I dunno, baseball?

Whatever. I can't bring myself to take it too seriously, either.
