The Anti-American Pastime
http://www.nationalreview.com/article/382153/anti-american-pastime-bernard-goldbergThe article gives you the final argument why conservatives don't like soccer: Other nations like it, nations who commit the crime of not thinking that the USA is the bestest country in the world. So, if you like soccer, you don't hate those nations for their heresy and that makes you un-american.
Soccer is widely considered as a game that unites: It's so simple, anybody can play it together even if they don't speak the same language. According to Bernard Goldberg, that tendency to bring strangers together is evil because there's no caveat that the US is a special snowflake.
