Unintentionally hilarious and staggeringly idiotic column by our favorite right-wing wacko, Ann Coulter:

http://www.anncoulter.com/columns/2014-06-25.html

Choice excerpts:

"One can only hope that, in addition to learning English, these new Americans will drop their soccer fetish with time."

"Individual achievement is not a big factor in soccer. In a real sport, players fumble passes, throw bricks and drop fly balls — all in front of a crowd. When baseball players strike out, they're standing alone at the plate. But there's also individual glory in home runs, touchdowns and slam-dunks.

In soccer, the blame is dispersed and almost no one scores anyway. There are no heroes, no losers, no accountability, and no child's fragile self-esteem is bruised. There's a reason perpetually alarmed women are called "soccer moms," not "football moms.""
