From Eric Weinberger at Boston.com, concerning a new book by Franklin Foer:

“Actually, Foer’s most important point, buried near the end, concerns American soccer-hating types who fear that soccer is something like those UN black helicopters, an underhanded means of getting the United States to sign on to the one-world agenda. These American “exceptionalists,” Foer writes, think the United States “should be above submitting to international laws and bodies.” To them “soccer isn’t exactly pernicious, but it’s a symbol of the US junking its tradition.” Who would have thought that soccer could so cleanly explain even those who refuse to play it?”
