    I consider it part of my American birthright to reject soccer.

    I disagree with your viewpoint, sir, but I'll defend to the death your right to express it.

    What Americans think it is: FREEDOM.

    What most foreign nations think it is: Either the right to be a bully or the golden arches.

    What it really is: The military industrial complex Eisenhower warned us about.

    RE: Soccer jokes. Love them.

    Mark Whicker once wrote a column (during a World Cup) in which he made a series of suggestions for broadening its appeal in the United States, each making the, well, sport more and more like Merican football, the final one being to make the ball pointed on both ends.

    Well, if you let the players use their hands, it would make it easier to throw the ball.

    Kind of makes sense. I like it!

    It's the reason this site is in English, rather than German or Japanese.

    It's what 80% of the populace believes it represents, while the reality is around 8%.
