Generally people in my experience that rarely watch sporting events much less soccer.

Then when the World Cup comes around they’re talking about it every day like they grew up kicking a ball in some favela

It’s always the Ukraine first double vaxxed types too

So obvious it’s just a virtue signal to appear worldly and cultured to others


I have noticed—and been irritated by—the same thing.

Because the World Cup is highlighting conservative values and international visitors are experiencing freedom and the American way of life. And the liberals deplore that.

Because it fits right into their “we want to be more like Europe” fantasy. Same reason they love bike lanes and 300 square foot apartments/houses.

That being said, I do know some conservative soccer fans who despise Europe. I’m neither a fan of soccer or the European lifestyle, however.

Well, I’m as conservative as can be and I’m into it. I played and I coach now.

It’s been a pretty awesome World Cup so far. It’s been pretty fun watching the international fans experience the U.S. for the first time. Oh, and frick liberals and the communists that is taking over their party.

I swear you people just make shite up. I'm pretty neutral on bike lanes. The idea that libs all want to live in 300 square foot apartments is asinine.

Then you know all about intellectual virtue signaling.

He didn't say ONLY liberals are obsessed with soccer, Einstein.

He just stated that liberals are (with a strong implication that it applied to a disproportionate percentage of them).

There are other groups who need to try to get other people to see them as sophisticated and worldly. Libertarians, for example.

BTW, soccer is not the most boring game on the planet, but it's damn close.

Except there are decades of them asking for density, density, density. Eat donkey dong. I bet you like sidewalks on the side of 4 lane 55mph roads to shopping centers 2 miles from the closest neighborhood, too. That cost money, and I've seen three people, including the black guy that steals bicycles that died on said sidewalk over the last six years using it.

High density housing doesn't mean 300 square foot apartments. You can have high density housing with 700 square foot apartments.

Sorry you’re not smart enough to grasp the concepts hyperbole and satire.

Or hear me out...maybe the non retarded explanation is that some of them actually like soccer and maybe even other sports

I know libs that are completely obsessed with sports
I'm sure there are sports fans in the mix. Hell, Carville loves him some LSU.

But I'm thinking as a whole, there were a lot of liberals who no nothing of sports, who were hoping to mingle with Europeans and get some affirmation that their views coincide with each other.

What's funny about it... All of the fans over here raving about America are basically the same types of people like MAGA

More likely that it's all in your head

Would I suspect that conservatives are more likely to be sports fans than libs? Sure. But not by much.

When you see a packed NFL stadium in a liberal city do you just assume those are all the conservatives in the city?

Actually decided to look into it. Studies have been done on this and it has found that sports fandom is about as close to exactly the same as possible among political affiliations.

It appears what is off here is the ignorant perception of the OP and the idiots that agree with him. Having a completely warped sense of reality can lead you to believe in all sorts of stupid shite.
