Your country pretty much invented diving, i guess you must be the authority on it then

Ofcourse America, keep dreaming.

Football is a sport which you play with your foot, what you're calling football is simply rugby.

Everyone just runs up and down the field and, every once in a while, a ball accidentally goes in. That's when we're supposed to go wild. I'm already asleep.

This is almost every sport to me

Soccer is like the metric system, which liberals also adore because it's European. Naturally, the metric system emerged from the French Revolution, during the brief intervals when they weren't committing mass murder by guillotine

You mean because it makes fucking sense unlike the American system?

Despite being subjected to Chinese-style brainwashing in the public schools to use centimeters and Celsius, ask any American for the temperature, and he'll say something like "70 degrees." Ask how far Boston is from New York City, he'll say it's about 200 miles.

Liberals get angry and tell us that the metric system is more "rational" than the measurements everyone understands. This is ridiculous. An inch is the width of a man's thumb, a foot the length of his foot, a yard the length of his belt. That's easy to visualize. How do you visualize 147.2 centimeters?

How fucking stupid are you?

If more "Americans" are watching soccer today, it's only because of the demographic switch effected by Teddy Kennedy's 1965 immigration law. 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.

What the actual fuck

Click-bait article baits clicks. More at 11.

Also, sorry, Euro-peons, "soccer" is the superior name. You can't make "Soccer? I just met 'er!" jokes with "football."

Also, according to many people, not caring about Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's wedding is un-american.

I was about to say it was a great The Onion-style piece of satire, but then Google told me the woman is actually being serious.



No, I refuse to believe. It's a parody. You will never convince me it's not a parody.

[Sicklyboy]

YEAH! GO SPORTS TEAM!

I can't tell whether this is attention seeking or just a plain idiot.

It's people like this that make the rest of the world think you Americans are all just plain stupid. I know for a fact that many Americans are intelligent and eloquent etc. but why when those of you who manage to get their voices heard, seem know nothing about what they're trying to say? I also have no idea how anyone, other than native Americans, can make ANY complaints about immigration. Almost all of you come from a different country... the mind boggles.

And that's about as political as I like to get publicly. My personal views really shouldn't be anyones business than mine.


-- As you were.

There are dumb people everywhere, get used to it.

Do you guys know who Ann Coulter is? That said, that link certainly exposes the American corporate news organizations as the absolute shills they are. Hardly any indication of her bombastic ratchet Republican reputation on that news article. Just "syndicated columnist" and I guess that's good enough. Gannet, a non-partisan news organization? YEAH RIGHT. Although ALL mainstream news sources are supposedly liberal in the minds of your average dumbass Republican.

what the heck is that supposed to mean?
