ESPN: Fan attacks Chris Kirkland during game>>
This is just the latest violent act in the political game commonly known as

Personally I am baffled at the need for, and even more so, the appeal for a civilized society such as the United States. A country whose number #1 sport just so happens to be a form of football. The NFL is synonymous with American sports. Even the SuperBowl's popularity among non-sports fans is huge. SuperBowl parties and celebrations are everywhere. And gambling? Money changes hands from the beginning of the season, right on up the The Big Game... And we haven't even mentioned a word about college football's popularity!
Enter soccer. While the game has been played in one form or another since the days of the Roman Empire, organized soccer appeared in the mid 19th century via "Association Football".
Enough for the history lesson. Anyone whose visited this blog quite possibly knows it is mostly copy and paste with and occasional one-liner containing a thought on topics that rattle my cage. The need for soccer's popularity in the USA has troubled me even before I knew what a blog was.
We could argue for days, exactly at what point soccer became popular in the United States. Soccer always kinda seemed to be just "there". In high school sports during the 70s, my alma mater couldn't persuade enough kids to try out to form a practice squad, let alone a team.
Here's where I may lose you. So before you bail, allow me to say, "it's been real". OK, for the rest of you, here is my edited, conscienceless opinion...
More and more each day, children with young impressionable minds are not only brainwashed by the socialist political agenda of the National Education Association,
These socialist interests, once ingrained in a child's behavior, are meant to create an expected response. Soccer is increasingly becoming the shared global sport preferred by socialist regimes. And the expected response is the taunting and violence accompanying it.
But wait, the United States doesn't have the violence at soccer matches that socialist countries do.
That is correct.... But for how long?
The face of America is changing rapidly. In the pursue for political correctness or need to stay in power with the aid of illegal voters, weak border protection and a next to non-existent screening process there are now more Hispanics living in America than blacks. Along with which comes many diseases foreign to American soil. A topic for another day...
As our culture shifts so shall the interests. Allow me to be the first to say, without enough lawsuits or government seizing it's assets or requiring it's wealth redistribution, soccer will not be running the NFL out of town any time soon. The NFL is the biggest obstacle to soccer's success in the USA.
But don't think for a moment that fact will stop the growth of soccer, only slow it down. The borders remain porous and as the population expands, more and more mini-socialists are being developed.
Foreign cultures increasingly becoming embedded in the American society will inevitably bring the overseas type of violence to the game of soccer as it grows in popularity.
GAME ON!
