coulter is junk food for dumb amerinazis who cant cope with their place in the world. there's a conflict between being SPECIAL little american narcissists who are just great and then having the expectations of the rest of the world that you supposedly rule to live up to.

so she gives a little pressure release with this sneering at cartoons of weak liberals. noone calls her out for the lost war she cheerleaded cos its all liberals fault for losing it. even though thats bullshit.

she's like englands laurie penny who is another talentless media star only on the left and writing articles about how sports suck.

may china nuke us all.

She reminds me more of David Starkey, not just politically. There's a shared wit there. Laurie Penny's just a humourless, overly earnest chain of slogans. Almost as excruciating as that Owen Jones.

I'm ok with football as long as people stop associating it with creativity. It's a boring ass sport.

Why do Americans call soccer a game where you kick the ball with your feet and football a game in which the ball is thrown by someone's hand and carried over a line in someone else's arms most of the time?

My thoughts?

She said it so that a bunch of humourless football fans would get all inarticulate with rage.

Mission accomplished.

speaking of nationalisms, etc., yesterday before brasil-chile they were showing the players waiting to enter the pitch, standing in 2 rows, in the tunnel looking all nervous.

and there's neymar with alexis (they both play at barcelona) and they are giving each other hugs, and neymar grabbed alexis's head most affectionally, almost like a girlfriend. it was quite moving.

better this than global war. i love the world cup.

we have the same question about why people in the 2nd capital call certain foods (cheese pie and souvlaki) different names. it can be really confusing if you first order those. and you know food is important.


football is 'normally' called american football.
and 'soccer' just football.
as i reckon, football was first invented, but became popular in the USA after their 'football'. i think, sometimes they do kick it with the foot? not sure now.
there is also the other sport..hand-ball. invented much later i guess(?), took the right name though.

anyhoo. dunno why i typed all that known shit now.

thewiorst parts are not about football, but about the racism aimed at "new" american immigrants

[Rob Instigator]

"soccer" was a name created by the British, Association football as opposed to Rugby Football.

Rugby Football was tweaked by USA coal mining teams and then by college teams in the late 1800's and it became American Football.

that's not pookie's problem -- his grandfather was born in britain and he's not "foreign." he votes for the BNP!

[Johnny "Magic Fingers"]

Yawn... Why get upset over what some repetitious conservative is crapping on about?
You always know what yr gonna get with people like Ann Coulter..

This time she spews her ignorance about soccer (sorry, "futball" - el juego del mundo! ). Last time it woulda been about something else - but the agenda is always the same - cartoonish right-wing one upmanship over the left..

It's the same boring tune, only in a different key...

Of course she's offensive and hateful, but what're you gonna do?

Fuck her! (um.. as in 'ignore her' not engage in actual coitus)

[Rob Instigator]

she is not just a lone nut ranting. she very much speaks exactly what a LOT of the white folks in power in the USA feel and talk about within their own groups.

My grandfather (and father) weren't born in Britain. But otherwise right.

Exactly. I get so bored with the whole soccer/football debate. I've heard perfectly credible european players and managers call it both. Roy Hodgson tends to say 'soccer' more than he does 'football', and a popular English tv show is called Soccer AM. It seems that a lot of the resentment is just nit picking because it's the standard term used in the US. It's totally irrelevant and no more than snobbery on the part of those who try to make it an issue.

There was a very long-running thread at the other place I frequent about Laurie Penny and her words of "wisdom" - pure uncut Facepalm, though I did laugh at the bits where she was caught out blatantly fabricating stuff.

I always had Coulter down as more of a golf fan, myself.

then you can't be truly british, per ann coulter's tirades.

you should read her rants, though mostly as a medical curiosity.
