I don't even know what she means? How in the world does a growing interest in soccer is sign of moral decay? Is there something intrinsic about the game? Is it that it is played by foreigners? If so, how?

Please, Ann, I'd LOVE to see a ranked list of sports from most moral to most immoral!

Where does MMA fit in? Because I swear sometimes it looks like gay porn.

(Which, I am completely PRO gay porn!)

Perhaps Ann should review the horrible crimes related to US Football. Let's say Penn State or Stubenville perhaps?

Soccer is the anti-elite sport; have a ball-you can play.

I've watched kids in poor slums in the Middle East. playing soccer with a ball of garbage wrapped in tape

I blame all our troubles on not converting to the metric system when Raygun deep sixed the plan to move the US to the Metric system. We just can't get on board with the rest of the world on just about anything. Well, maybe not.
