The title quote was made by the one and only Ann Coulter, rumoured to be Hifly's illegitimate mother (or was it mother-in-law?).

Discuss.

No. It means that America is increasingly populated by people who never got the hang of baseball or American football because they were born in Germany, South Africa, India, Brazil, etc.

“No American whose great-grandfather was born here is watching soccer”

I suppose that's technically true in my case since my paternal-line great-grandfather was born in Canada.  Maybe that's why I prefer Canadian football to American football.

I know she's just trolling, but that's a pretty stupid statement. Like saying that no American whose great-grandfather was born here eats bagels.

It's not hard to dominate a sport that's only seriously played in one country. Smiley

Basketball is surprisingly popular in the Baltic countries and The Philippines.

Does this earn her Troll of the Year? I know she has been at least nominated at least once in the past.

As soon as the US gets knocked out of the World Cup, everybody will return to not caring about soccer again.  It's the same every four years.

I choose to take anything this woman says as brilliant satire. It's easier to take that way. I mean, did you read the end when she began banging on about the metric system?

Maybe someday it will come out that she's a closet transgender liberal.
