Joerg von den Fulbrights lernt...

Joerg von den Fulbrights bei atlanticreview.org kuemmert sich endlich um den Dreck der mich hier ankotzt.  Es waere auch schoen wenn Joerg's Kritik an mir angebracht gewesen waere und die USA ein recht zivilisiertes Land waeren.  Doch die Propaganda mit der hier die Oeffentlichkeit sprichwoertlich dumm gehalten wird ist unfassbar.  Und Joerg hat einiges zusammengesammelt:

Soccer is the perfect game for the post-modern world. It's the quintessential expression of the nihilism that prevails in many cultures, which doubtlessly accounts for its wild popularity in Europe.

Perhaps Claire Berlinski is also just joking, when she said "Europeans are lazy, unwilling to fight for anything and willing to surrender to anyone; they are fascinated by decadence." However, her Euro-bashing isn't related to soccer, but to her new book "Menace in Europe: Why the Continent's Crisis Is America's, Too", which is pretty popular at Amazon.com, Amazon.de.

und

My theory is that Americans have neither the belief system nor the temperment for such a sisyphean sport as soccer.  We are a society of doers, achievers, and builders.  Our country is dynamic, constantly growing, and becoming ever bigger, richer, and stronger. (...) I think it reflects the static, crimped, and defeatest attitudes held by so many of the other peoples on earth.

Aber was soll man tun?  Ich habe eben die europaeische defaetistische Einstellung.  Da gehe ich doch lieber ruhig in die Kneipe und hoer mir an wie toll doch die USA sind.  Vielleicht koennen die mir auch Fox News anstatt Sport zeigen?
