Right, because it is not a real sport unless the players wear an ungodly amount of plastic protection, is violent and a team is allowed to take so many timeouts you are asleep after the first half hour.

Soccer is actually a much purer sport than most of what is played here. It's the players, a ball and a set amount of time. Most American sports are just about endorsements and money.

Anne Coulter only makes comments that are controversial and only makes them when she is not getting enough attention. She is an idiot and appears to enjoy being one.

Are you trying to say that soccer isn't violent?

In just the group play round of this World Cup, there were at least three broken noses and one bitten shoulder.

Yes, its a violent sport, contrary to what Ann believes when she believes every player gets a ribbon and a juice box.
