It amuses me when people so fiercely identify with labels: I'm a liberal! I'm a conservative!

Here's the deal: When you don't even have to ask or hear from somebody what side of a particular issue they're on because you already know, then be assured that individual has long ago sold their brain & soul to the group-think sheepdom of whatever label they so fiercely identify with.

How about this? Instead of marching in lockstep with all the idealogues/demagogues that exist on both sides of liberalism and conservatism, how about thinking about issues on their own separate merit/deficiency level and making an informed decision about each particular social issue; sure, we all have inherent tendencies to lean "left" or "right" (based on nature/nuture factors, and that's OK) but, if one approached each issue with an intellectual integrity, it'd be next to impossible to always line up on the side of either liberal or conservative (which those in the sheepdom always manage to do).

I'm for drug & gambling legalization...pro-choice...and some form of universal healthcare. Am I a liberal?
But wait... I'm also pro-death penalty, want comprehensive immigration reform that includes a lockdown of our borders, against gay marriage (proper civil unions can be constructed), and don't want the government running that healthcare. Am I a conservative?

Actually, neither: I'm just a guy that thinks for himself and isn't a slavering fanboy to any of these provocateurs --- Coulter is as useless to me as Michael Moore. People of their ilk are nothing but intellectually dishonest flamethrowers that, while adding to their bank accounts, add next-to-nothing of substantive (positive) value to society.

In fact, if they were just benign-money-making-dishonest douchebags... who would really care? The vitriol towards them is a consequence of the control both a Moore and Coulter have over their slobbering (read:dumbfukk) sheepdom; for that sheepdom then proceeds forward as a collective in the body politic to hinder, hurt and prevent actual beneficial public policy.

And, oh yeah... again, I wouldn't fukk Coulter w/ttwarrior's dikk (if he even has one)

This is longer than the Coulter articles you don't read.

She lives down the road from me in New Caanaan, where my wife is from originally.
She graduated HS 2 years ahead of my wife's oldest sister.
She graduated top of her class.
Went to Cornell after that, got law degree from I forgot where, Michigan I think.
Her home here has got to be close to 8 figures, she's got more money than God.
Oh, and she doesn't give a shit what anybody says or thinks about her.

Her metric comparison can't be any more dumber.


Because anything European is bad even though America was built by Europeans.

.

Which America is that, certainly not North America.

Soccer will never ever catch on here to any decent degree, not while the 3 major sports are here, its just that simple. Here a less exciting game will never garner attention over more exciting sports.

Soccer will never even pass hockey.

MLS games drawing more than NBA or MLB isn't even worth mentioning, given there are 82 NBA and 162 MLB games in a regular season. How many MLS games are there?

Average attendance in MLS is 18,000+

Average attendance in MLB is 29,000+ (despite the fact that there are about five times as many games)

Average NBA attendance is 21,700 (despite playing in arenas instead of stadiums and nearly three times more games)

Whoever said MLS/soccer is "catching" these sports in terms of popularity should have their head examined.

[No coincidences]

Soccer will Easily be the number 1 Sport in the US 50 years from now:
Mls is getting Bigger, more Games live on TV, 21 teams instead of 14
Mls already has higher Attendance per Game than nba and mlb

Soccer already is 2nd Sport After American Football with americans aged between 12 and 24

More moms will rather see their sons Play Soccer instead of American Football because of rising concerns about Head injurys

Demography will also Play a huge role, hispanic Population will continue to explode and you know what their Favorite Sport is .......

Nice try. Don't let the facts get in the way of your "argument."

How did you find the NBA average attendance?

According to ESPN only Bulls had an attendance of 21700. The rest of the teams were far below.

Preseason in February and the regular season is from March till the end of October, thats not including playoffs which are in November, how you gonna keep Americans attention for 10 months with a much less exciting sport, by the time the season ends, they are about to start back up again. It will never catch on here.

My bad -- I was looking at the Bulls numbers.

Actual NBA attendance numbers here:

http://www.insidehoops.com/attendance.shtml

Average of 17,407, which is still much better than MLS since it's in arenas and not stadiums. And that's with NBA numbers plummeting.

I think a better figure would be % of capacity.

I don't really know too much about the mls but stadiums are much larger than an nba/hockey arena.

right?

And what is the average capacity of the venues in these respective sports?

Numbers are virtually identical, and the NBA plays in arenas vs. stadiums. When you add college basketball into the equation, the popularity of soccer doesn't even come close to holding a candle to basketball in this country -- nor will it ever.

One can skew statistics to say just about anything they want. Common sense should tell anyone that these numbers are highly skewed, just by living in America one should know this, the sport isnt that popular at all.

[King Mayan]

I'm not disabled, I don't get it?

Exactly... Not disabled but still getting checks.. How despicable!!!.

Again, when you throw college basketball in the mix, it isn't debatable and anyone who sees it as even worthy of a discussion is just kidding themselves.

For some teams you can buy season tickets with an average ticket price of 10 bucks a game, can you imagine if you could go to an NFL or NBA game for that price. Heck Id go to a game for 10 bucks even though I dont care about it really. The biggest difference is tv money though which is why they cant lure big time Euro players here. The NBA has a 960 million dollar tv contract while MLS has a 27 million dollar contract. Its growing but I dont think it will ever be really popular here.

[stevenash]

I know, the nerve of me to show up, do a company a service, and get compensated for it too.
Nicely I may add, and those silly liberals want some of mine because I am doing well, because they deserve to be doing fine too.

Get up off your ass, knock on some doors, get a job, and you can be just like me, is what I have to say about that.

Anybody can make up stories in the interwebz

Other than the fact you're wrong, I never said I didn't read her. I said she was useless. Here, this site will help you:

And while I can assure you most of what Coulter writes is longer, I will humbly admit that my stuff is better written.

I'd nail a play-doh replica of Bea Arthur while watchin a "Maude" re-run before I touched that vile piece of human flesh.

You're half-ass right tho... I'd bone the snake before ever touching Coulter.

This should get you excited.

You can't expect Philistines to understand.

Maybe when Bruce finishes the sex change, he'll be enlightened with a better perspective to explain things to them.
In the meantime, I'll just for their lost souls.

Looking at attendance is stupid. NBA plays about 4 times as many games and indoors and a much higher ticket price. Not exactly fair to compare a sport played in a 20,000 seat arena to a sport played in a 70,000 seat stadium.

If you want to gauge a sport's true popularity, look at ratings. And MLS soccer is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay below. Just like most Olympic sports, as soon as the World Cup is over, America will go back to ignoring it for the next 3 years, 11 months.

I love basketball as much, if not more, as the next guy. But what americans fail to see in soccer is that you don't need to be a 7 feet giant to dominate in soccer. Nor do you have to look like you just drink beer and lift weights all day. Not everyone around the world has access the amount of excess nutrients we americans take for granted. Look at messi, the dwarf that mesmerizes the world wouldn't stand a chance on the hardwood. Nor can he play any other position that kicker in football. I think soccer is the great equalizer that narrowminded Americans fail to see.

To your* next ridiculous comment about my size, I am a 6'2 ASIAN who dabbled in some football to amateur mma.
