Common Sense



You know that old story about how it's better to play at home; how the crowd is the sixth man; how the cheering helps put you over the top?

Well, it doesn't apply if you are the U.S. Soccer Men's National Team. In the crucial 2010 World Cup Qualifier yesterday the crowd of 55,624 at Soldier Field was made up of 60% Honduras supporters.

This is embarrassing. And probably goes some distance towards explaining why the U.S. has yet to become a serious football contender.

Where are the American football fans? Where are the people who love this country? Who bleed red, white, and blue? Where is Glenn Beck?

Seriously, Mr. Beck, instead of putting your efforts into tea bagging, how about you lend a hand to something that isn’t totally lame and asinine.

You think America is number one? Put your money where your mouth is.
