Republican pundit, Ann Coulter has a well-established track record making asinine statements; she has done it once again. Coulter's target this time is America's excitement and fan-growth over soccer. I must admit that I am not a big soccer fan and I too have a theory why the sport has grown rapidly on the American youth sport scene. Let me dispense with that 'slant' and move to the comments coming from Coulter.
My theory: the ability to 'track' an object does not develop until around the age of 8 or 9; this is why little league baseball programs have tee-ball at the younger age. It is easier to strike a ball 'sitting-stationary' than time the pitched ball coming towards you as the child deals with a fear-factor of being 'hit' by the baseball. Soccer requires the under 8 sport participant to simple run after a rolling ball and kick it when you are close enough. The advanced levels of soccer play require equally prolific skill as any other sport, certainly at the elite level such as the World Cup.
Coulter, never at lost to attempt tying liberalism conspiracies to anything, suggests soccer mom-mania is just another attempt to dumb-down, praise mediocrity and heap unwarranted praise on 'do-nothing' folks like all you Democrats ! Coulter misses the entire driving-impetus behind all American sports' fanatics...Americans are on a never-ending mission to find any reason to gather, overeat and consume excessive amounts of alcohol while wearing painted faces and obnoxious clothing and chanting USA, USA, USA. This behavior is not unique to only America's sports. I offer the Mardi Gras Parade. This annual event is a New Orleans' tradition, however it has gotten traction throughout the United States. Many American cities conduct their OWN Mardi Gras Event, which provides folks the opportunity to overeat, get smashed, urinate in public and be accommodated by females when asked, "Show us your boobs !"
