Sidebar: In NRODT in July 2000 John Derbyshire wrote of soccer:

The very inconclusiveness of soccer is, I suspect, what has made it the pet sport of the repulsive bobos-David Brooks’s “bourgeois bohemians.” The game is, in their eyes, relatively untainted by that knuckle-dragging, masculine competitiveness that disfigures the more prominent American sports. It lacks the grunted brutalities of football, the chawing and spitting and thrust-jaw confrontations of baseball, or the in-your-face trash talk of basketball. It is, they seem to think, just a more aerobic version of croquet: a nonviolent game of skill and strategy. In their soft, money-addled minds, these deluded wretches associate soccer with things “civilized” and European: with French wines and Danish pastries, with tiny, fuel-efficient cars and 18 different varieties of coffee, with universal health care and the prohibition of handguns. How wrongheaded is all this? One hardly knows where to begin.
