WorldNetDaily Pundit Fears The World Cup Is A Leftist Plot To Ruin America

Submitted by Brian Tashman on Friday, 6/27/2014 11:00 am

Following up on Ann Coulter’s trolling of soccer fans, WorldNetDaily columnist and radio talk show host Carl Jackson writes today that the World Cup is part of a left-wing plot to “bring America down to size.” Jackson writes that while he watches the Olympics to get a “sense of nationalism and pride” when American athletes “prove that we’re home to the best athletes in the world,” he refuses to watch the World Cup because Team USA is treated as “just another nation.” According to Jackson, President Obama and the media are promoting the World Cup to make the U.S. seem like it is not “an exceptional nation” and push “the globalization of America.” Since he is such a great fan of America, Jackson says he only watches competitions where Team USA is likely to win. And if it were to lose, then Jackson wouldn’t watch!

1. "How dare other nations consider us mediocre!!! Don't they know, we are exceptional???"

Carl Jackson forgot that Miranda Rights are only read to you if you expressly ask for them.

That's un-American!

4. I think Coulter has the wrong impression of soccer

It's not the goody goody, wimpy, Kumbaya singing, feel good, non competitive game she seems to think it is.

This is a photo of a riot in the stands of a Polish football match. The fires were started by a group that Coulter would love - football hooligans. Many of them are unemployed racist, skinhead, neo Nazis, with nothing going for them in life except partisan loyalty to their local football team.

This was the image of soccer for many years in Europe. It's been somewhat brought under control in recent years but it's still there under the surface. And there is no shortage of dishonest politicians ready to pander to these clowns.

So she needs to cheer up - everything she loves about America is present in soccer, xenophobia, bullying, racism, all the good things.

5. It is the beautiful game, nothing about the small minority of hooligans that populate the stands.
