PALM SPRINGS, Fla. – Ann Coulter, the right-wing pundit and conservative star, today wrote on her blog that she believes “anyone who watches the World Cup—and especially those who really enjoy it—should be arrested as soon as possible.” Coulter—whose latest book is titled “Never Trust a Liberal Over 3—Especially a Republican”—said that soccer fans pose a “clear and present danger” to the well-being of the United States, and worried that “the longer we let them roam the streets, the sooner our country turns into socialist Europe.”
Coulter, who is also a lawyer, said that “showing an interest in the World Cup is tantamount to plotting a government coup and should be punished as such.”
“We’ve all become a little too lax about what we are willing to tolerate in this country,” Coulter wrote. “Let’s not forget that soccer is a sport invented by non-Americans, and was designed to invade our psyches and weaken our American spirit.”
Coulter’s comments seemed to be building on statements she made earlier in the day. In her syndicated column, she wrote that soccer is “foreign” and hypothesized that “no American whose great-grandfather was born here is watching” the sport.
Her list of grievances with soccer did not end there, however. She also slammed the sport for being too safe, for allowing matches to end in a tie, for restricting players’ use of their hands, and for suppressing “individual achievement”—all of which she says indicates that its fans “do not have what it takes to be real Americans and need to go.”
Coulter argued that her plan to arrest and hopefully deport soccer fans would solve many of America’s woes.
“You want all the illegals gone from this country?” Coulter asked. “Well here’s your solution. Not only will rounding up the soccer fans get rid of all the illegals—it will also eliminate all the ‘newbie-Americans,’ the ones who’ve only been here a generation or two—namely, the ones who have caused every single one of our problems.”
Coulter’s critics charge that she is “making a mound out of a mole hill,” and that her worldview has become so warped and paranoid that she now finds treachery in even the most benign aspects of life. The pundit answered those criticisms today, saying that “there’s nothing benign about radical ball-kickers poisoning our children’s minds.”
“You want to wreck your children’s lives and probably America too?” Coulter said. “Then go right ahead and sign them up for AYSO. But don’t be surprised when real Americans come knocking on your door, looking to clean house.”

I never cared for soccer before, but now I’m gonna start watching it, just to piss her off!
Clearly Coulter is looking for some attention here but she merely looks a fool. And when I hear American’s scoff or express befuddlement over the World Cup do they realize how ignorant and intolerant they sound? They appear very insecure too. I mean how can something be so big that the US is not dominant at? If American’s would get the idea that the World Cup is basically a world war then it might appeal to its sensibility. Soccer is more than a sport. It’s a chance for proud nations to put one over on former or current enemies.
scary lady…. fanatic” rightwinger” .realizes football-soccer represent …diverse…united…passion….just like the new USA….the most diverse country in the world…the most universal of sports over 200 nations member FIFA./
She is one warped and twisted person.
Anne the Man I am a great grandfather who started soccer clubs in and around Toledo Oh in the 70’s and love the “Peoples Game” where everyone can play!!! Unlike the world you and your cohorts are trying to forge!
Ummm. She fails to understand her European forefathers invented Soccer along with many other American sports. Does she know baseball was derived from the English game of Rounders? Or American Football was derived from the game of Rugby? Or that Basketball derived from the game of Net Ball played by European ladies?
Lets see:
Basketball: in the U.S. started in 1891 but had its roots from Mexico. Mayans introduced the vertical stone hoops to the game they called Pok-Ta-Pok. They played it at least as far back as 1000 BC. Popol Vuh, the Mayas book of wisdom and prophecies, describes the game as part of a ritual ceremony.
Baseball: Batting the Ball (seker-hemat) was an Egyptian bat-and-ball game, played by the Egyptian pharaohs (with their priests as catchers).
Football: http://www.football-history.han.ks.ua/football_ancient_ball_game.html
So, uh, is Ann Coulter wanting to have herself arrested for being a traitor?
Its performance art folks, there’s nothing to see, just move along……
Wrong — it was the Scots who invented golf to turn Americans into annoying salmon-colored-shorts-wearing dweebs!
I would like to see Anne Coulter arrested for treason, but that is not going to happen either.
What a sick woman she is! Should pay attention to the problems at hand!!!!!!
I UNDERSTAND MRS. COULTER’S CONCERNS ON THE MANY ISSUES FACING THE COUNTRY. AFTER ALL, SHE’S FROM THE U.S., NOT OT MENTION, A TRUE AMERICAN IN EVERY SENSE. HOWEVER, MRS. COULTER TAKING OUT HER ANGER ON ANY SPORT, IT IS TOTALLY AWKWARD AND RETARDED. MANY OF THE SPORTS WE PLAY TODAY IN THE AMERICAS, GO BACK 100’S, IF NOT, THOUSANDS OF YEARS BEFORE ANY OF THEM WERE INTRODUCED TO ALL THESE LANDS…FOR INSTANCE, AMERICAN SPORTS LIKE AMERICAN FOOTBALL, AND BASEBALL CAME FROM THE ENGLISH SPORTS OF RUGBY AND CRICKET RESPECTIVELY. WHATEVER THE CASE, IT IS HER OPINION, AND THE MORE SHE TRASHES THE SPORT OF SOCCER, THE MORE PEOPLE WILL TALK ABOUT IT, AND THEREFORE, WATCH IT. FOR THE RECORD: I’M NOT A SPORTS MAN, AND HAVE NEVER BEEN ONE, NOR DO I FOLLOW ANY SPORT IN PARTICULAR. I AM AND HAVE BEEN A WORKOUT MAN UNTIL PRESENT DAY, AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE SO INDEFINITELY. I JUST STATED A COMMON SENSE FACT.

Football, (or Soccer if you are American), was invented before America, so it being ‘designed’ to weaken American views is clearly ludicrous. This woman needs psychiatric help.
Hey Anne I bet you have Mexicans cut you grass and probably eat foreign food oh and had plastic surgery done by a non American smh
Let’s not forget thet Psychology was “invented” in Europe and brought to US…let’s ban Psychologysts…that’s not American !!!!
Coulter is the head troll of all the universe; the feared, respected final boss of trolling the media and turning her trolldom into book sales.
I feel for this poor sickening thing.
