Ann Coulter more FacebookFollow washtimesIt seems conservative pundit Ann Coulter is no fan of the World Cup or of soccer in general quipping in her column Thursday that Any growing interest in soccer can only be a sign of the nation s moral decay.
She also took liberal soccer moms to task writing that they like soccer because it s a sport in which athletic talent finds so little expression that girls can play with boys. No serious sport is co ed even at the kindergarten level.
Another flaw of soccer according to Ms. Coulter It s foreign she writes adding I promise you No American whose great grandfather was born here is watching soccer. One can only hope that in addition to learning English these new Americans will drop their soccer fetish with time.
Some American journalists took issue with Ms. Coulter s opinions. According to Mediaite Fox s Shep Smith applauding America s World Cup advancement Thursday said It is a great day in the USA. The U.S. men s soccer team is heading to the next round of the World Cup off to the knockout stage number two in the group and then we re through to the next round .
And then he paused turned to the camera and said I m told it s a sign of moral decay before shaking his head and adding It s not.
