The English, that's who. Do they also need to learn the language? They were playing football way before those Hispanics that bother you so much.

"The first set of football rules was drawn up at the University of Cambridge in 1848 and became particularly influential in the development of subsequent codes, including association football. Known as the Cambridge Rules, they were written at Trinity College, Cambridge, at a meeting attended by representatives from Eton, Harrow, Shrewsbury, Rugby and Winchester schools, though they were not universally adopted. During the 1850s, many clubs unconnected to schools or universities were formed throughout the English-speaking world, to play various forms of football. Some came up with their own distinct codes of rules, most notably the Sheffield Football Club, formed by former public school pupils in 1857, which led to formation of a Sheffield Football Association in 1867."

It seems that all the moron's in the Republican party have been piping up regularly with asinine comments.

Cheney, Gingrich, Romney, Akin, Rhoda, etc.
