And I have to say I admire her ability to always take the trolling insanity up yet another notch without imploding. The woman knows her audience…
It ain’t a sport without the possibility of major injury or personal humiliation.

She obviously doesn’t realize the “major injuries” are phony. ![]()
Lamest. Human. Ever.
Wow, she can’t get any part of that right.
Major injuries have occurred in soccer. And if they have occurred in the past, or course they are possible in the present.

Look, I’m as conservative as they get, and even I know that Ann Coulter is a parody artist. Sure, I agree with her politics, but her articles and polemics are definitely tongue in cheek. She’s trying to give the outrage-industry something new to be outraged about. And so many of them fall for it!
I don’t think even she agrees with her politics. I think it’s performance art - kinda like a less appealing Colbert.
It’s Colbert without trying to be funny.
This is an article designed to bait people. That’s what this media whore does because she is paid to entertain.
The world needs a liberal left-leaning counterpoint to Ms Ann.
For a recognizable but not-quite-there semblance of this, I recommend Gene Lyons of the Arkansas Times (scroll down a ways to find Lyons columns; here’s a recent sample).
If you want a really radical leftist columnist, that’s Ted Rall, who’s been calling for Obama to be impeached, or to resign, for years already, because he’s not liberal or progressive enough. Sample.
ETA: What’s Coulter on about, anyway, about soccer not being dangerous enough? People are getting injured, even killed, in that sport all the time. It’s just that it happens to the spectators rather than the players! It’s a true audience participation sport!
Soccer as a sport blows. I’d literally prefer to sit down with a beer and watch grass grow.
So, baseball then?
She’s going for P. J. O’Rourke style of cheerily unfair left-baiting outrage, but without his wit, skill, or gonzo charm, {I despise P.J.'s politics, but the man could write like a dream}. The end result is just leaden and stupid.

umm, nah. I’d take baseball over soccer but that’s not a recommendation.
Cricket or Aussie Rules work for me. Tie me to the chair I could watch basketball or gridiron without struggling too much. Maybe even ice hockey. baseball is on the low end of the threshold but still better than soccer.
Soccer is about level with synchronised swimming or curling or the world crochet championships.
Do they? I thought she’d jumped the shark even with most conservatives. And if she’s attempting to piss off liberals, we’ve long since stopped paying attention to her.
Which reminds me, the other day I came across a link to something stupid that Rush Limbaugh said. I’d practically forgotten about him. The lefty bloggers and sites I follow just don’t even bother with him anymore.
For some fun reading to take your mind off of how unnecessary this harridan is to your mental health, Google or Yahoo! Search “Ann Coulter in the ass” and pick one or two of the articles that appear to deal with unconventional sex positions. They will help to put her into the correct image in your mind.
[Bolding mine.]
You mean like her fan base?
I thought the point was that watching baseball is sitting down with a beer and watching the grass grow. ![]()
What if I didn’t want that image in my mind? :eek:
Where’s the damned bleach? No, not the brain stuff, I need the Clorox.
I tried to warn you, but you just had to go see for yourself! Neener Neener.
