You Might be an American Soccer Fan
[With apologies to Jeff Foxworthy, not that he'd know what "soccer" is.]
Next time I'll just change the channel to Telemundo...
- If your gym has seventy-five TVs, but none of them are showing the Olympic semifinal between Argentina and Brazil, you might be an American soccer fan
- If your official Olympic broadcaster relegates the matchup between these world superpowers of football to cable-only MSNBC instead of the primary NBC affiliate, you might be an American soccer fan
- If the primary channel of your official Olympic broadcaster is filling airtime with fricking Matt Lauer and Al Roker dorking around pretending to be fricking rhythmic gymnasts during that same semifinal, you might be an American soccer fan
- If the cable-only carrier of this game breaks in — during play — to show MOTHERFLIPPIN @*#$& SASSAFRASSIN ^@#*% RACKIN FRACKIN #!&% COMMERCIALS, then there's no doubt about it. You're an American soccer fan.

Welcome to the early '90's.
NBC is doing a very good job ignoring the ratings that other stations have gotten with high-level international soccer.
I fully expect to see the same sort of thing while the US women are playing for gold tomorrow.
