Someone went to the website whatdidanncoultersaythaticangetallriledupabout? dot com. Or does the OP actually read Ann's articles or listen to her show?

I hate child molesters. Guess what, I don't cruise for them on the internet, I don't watch programs with information about them, I never start threads about them, etc.

Why all the drummed up rage?

Just watch.
In 10 years, high school football won't even exist. Football is simply too dangerous for young kids's heads, what with all the brain concussions happening. And soccer coaches don't have to their kids overheating and having heat strokes nearly as much.
There's no big school district bills for the expensive specialized safety equipment. No big liability insurance bills for the schools.
Every kid who wants to play can be put into a team that will compete with others in the same weight, height, and agility abilities. Like basketball, girls can enjoy the game just as much as boys. Spending huge sums on a small bunch of elite jocks can be spent on 2-3 times as many kids who can participate, not be relegated to the stands.

And, right now, soccer is already being played by millions of kids more than football. There is no need for a specialized football field with goal posts. A baseball field or a playground will work just fine, with goals that can be easily transported.

Ann Coulter knows where she can stick it, but I am afraid I would have to wait in a very long line.

Well all those big elite jocks will put many a soccer player off the team if they end football and soccer is the only option. Something the football haters will never understand. You won't get your dream of ending football though. You don't like football don't watch or let your kids play. Go play soccer and hope an elite jock WR off the football team don't decide to switch sports and take your kids slot.

Appears you also think nobody gets hurt playing soccer. You are quite the football hater.

Oh no best ban soccer so the kiddies don't hurt their heads next. Tyrant.

If only there were commercial breaks, then there might be something interesting to watch! And considering the quality of commercials that's saying something.

IMO, it will still be a sport that mostly 12-24 year olds will enjoy. It will never replace football, basketball or baseball with the majority of adults. I have nothing against soccer and I don't even watch much of the top three but that is the way I see it. The top three are American icons and won't be replaced by soccer.

There were a lot of "unamerican" people cheering for US Soccer today.

I'm working in Boston and the entire building here was on edge. Real boring.

Coulter: Any growing interest in soccer a sign of nation's moral decay
That transgendered fool will say any idiotic statement to get herself in the news. The love of soccer has no international bounds. It is EXCRUCIATINGLY BORING to watch, imo.

To the nearly one billion Americans who live between the Rio Grande del Norte and Terra del Fuego Football is played with your feet and not your hands and you don't need thousands of dollars worth of armor, padding and a helmet to play. Football as played by the World is a beautiful game something that Ann Coulter with her facelifts and over bleached hair would be unable to understand.
