Honestly, I cannot figure out if Ann Coulter’s recent column on soccer is satire. If it is, great. It’s funny. If it isn’t – then I have a whole different kind of problem with Coulter.
She says:
Any growing interest in soccer can only be a sign of the nation’s moral decay.
Please, somebody tell me this is satire!
I’m sure that Luis Suarez will be happy to find out there is no accountability in soccer and that the 4 month FIFA suspension he got for biting the Italian player was just a prank. Ann Coulter is a d**che royal!
The sentence you quoted isn’t satire, but another form of humor — hyperbole. Extravagant exaggeration. The article is hilarious. I wish I’d written it.
No, it’s not satire. She really believes what she writes. Coulter’s inexplicable hatred of the Other is one reason why we should Never Trust Ann Coulter – at ANY Age, a new book available at http://www.coulterwatch.com/never.pdf.
