I imagine a lot of "I love America!" Right wingers are giddy over the US losing the 2022 World Cup

[AndrewP]

One of the major players in the effort was Bill Clinton. Plus there was a videotaped message from President Obama to the voters of FIFA.

I would assume with the US not getting the 2022 event even with these efforts, many a right winger are probably touching themselves with glee.

1. Who wants a commie sport like soccer here in Amurka anyway?

[rfranklin]

2. Well, we have the World Series of Baseball...

and that includes all the countries that matter.

[DBoon]

8. I don't follow baseball

Is there still a Canadian franchise? Or did we get rid of them because Canada is no longer part of our "world"

11. They followed the money to DC

Montreal Expos = Washington Nationals

3. It's soccer

I imagine most Americans don't care.

9. It is football

to everyone else except the US.

FIFA = Fédération Internationale de Football Association

Football is a game played with a football and feet.

American Rugby aka American football is played with a Rugby ball, with more breaks for your adverts and protective clothing.

13. 'Soccer' is a British nickname for association football that was adopted by Americans.

The sport is also called "soccer" in Australia and New Zealand.

14. Soccer here, football there

I am here so it is soccer, it is still a boring ass game and most Americans still don't care about the "world cup."

[Hosnon]

16. "Football" just means any sport played on foot, without reference to any specific ball.

American football, non-American football/soccer, and rugby all may rightly be called "football".

5. Just like the Olympics Bid

Remember when Chicago didn't get the Olympics. Every right-winger posted how happy they were that both Obama and Oprah were denied. It was so petty. And so Anti-American!!

[AndrewP]

6. Exactly. You got my point.

[geardaddy]

7. But in 2022 we have the WC by proxy

in Qatar.

[WinkyDink]

12. WTH cares about a sporting event in 2022? We should all live so long.

[Riftaxe]

15. It is sad, now people will have

to go overseas or attend a baseball game to be bored silly in a crowd of drunks.
