Let Me Grab My Purse And Take My 2.3 Kids To Practice
Sorry to be so grumpy, but I am flat out sick of being called a "soccer mom." Thankfully, long before I start this rant, Jay Mariotti of the Chicago Sun Times has been getting a deserved amount of hate mail, but I just had to link to his open anus, insert head column from yesterday.
In it he makes a lot of outlandish claims, like footcer players are sissies (I wonder what matches he's watching where he thinks footcer isn't a violent sport), but my "favorite" is this gem where he describes the average footcer fan in the United States:
Now I know he's been to a match before because it seems like he wrote his column like a kid who was forced to go somewhere he hates and then write about it for a book report. And it's fitting to call him a kid since his little temper tantrum is about as astute and accurate as someone copying their neighbor's test.
Everything he says in the column is the old cliches.
Today he was on "Pardon The Interruption" alongside footcer hater #1 Michael Wilbon,(who once claimed his fat patoot could play as well as Freddy Adu because all footcer players do is run around). He didn't need to repeat his claims because Wilbon did it for him.
I think Wilbon just memorized Mariotti's column while masturbating to it and repeated it verbatim now that I think about it. ;)
But Mariotti went on to add to his claims saying that footcer is a "Euro-fad" sport and "Euro-fad sports never catch on in America."
Shows how little he knows of history as every sport we have in the United States except for basketball had their origins in Europe as something similar. We just changed the rules! But I wouldn't expect him to know anything about history playing on every provincial stereotype in one screed.
And, hmm, yeah footcer's just a fad. Too bad it's been around for a lot longer than his beloved football which he so heartily defends. I mean American rules rugby. :)

Mariotti is such a bonehead. I don't agree with most of what he says, no matter which sport. While most serious sports journalists are doing things like, say, writing their columns with thoughtful commentary, he is busy jetting around the country at the whim of ESPN. He's not a sportswriter, he's a paid hack psuedo-celebrity of the sports world. I'm so glad that the real sportswriters like Lupica will put their writing ahead of crap like Around the Horn and PTI.
And I think you forgot that it's not just "American Rules Rugby", but rather "American Rules Rugby Football". I think it branched off of rugby prior to the split between Union and League rules. And for a long time it wasn't played on a gridiron pitch, but instead in a roughly configured field on village greens. I think that the history of American Rules Rugby Football goes back to about the mid-18th century. And it was the most popular sport (which isn't saying much, as most people frowned on sport, especially professional sport, until the 20th century, as it was uncivilized) until that odd blend of rounders and cricket, called base-ball, appeared on the scene in the days leading to the Civil War.
Lupica was still willing to whore himself on ESPN though back when "The Sports Reporters" was still on. I now fondly remember the days of civilized Sunday morning sports punditry.
