    Same thing as British Exceptionalism or Greek Exceptionalism.

    Nationalism given a term that makes it acceptable among a certain group of scholars. European nationalism is bad and leads to unchecked hubris. But for Americans, nationalism is good because we're the exception.

    It's a load of bullshit. And it's been the most dangerous, destructive force to this country's well being in the 21st century so far.

    We'd all love soccer if they'd just change the offside rule, and make the goal bigger to encourage more scoring. Then it would be awesome.

    And eliminate the dangerous concussing inducing header. A 24 second clock
    would be a nice addition also.
