But he was the hero we desperately needed in a time when America\u2019s 250th anniversary party feels increasingly like it\u2019s about to fall flat on its face.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>His name is \u201cFreddy.\u201d He is German. And he absolutely loves the American South. As he documents his travels through states like Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, and Florida, Freddy has even been described as the modern-day <\/span><span>Alexis de Tocqueville<\/span><span>, the great Frenchman who wrote of his travels to and observations of America during the 1800s. Although I wouldn\u2019t go <\/span><i><span>that<\/span><\/i><span> far, Freddy is nevertheless <\/span><span>reminding Americans that the true greatness of our country can be found in the most unexpected places<\/span><span>, such as a gas station or a winding country road.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Perhaps unsurprisingly, a liberal USA Today columnist has taken quite a different view than Freddy. On the verge of America\u2019s 250th anniversary, Nancy Armour has <\/span><span>declared<\/span><span> that the United States has \u201calready lost\u201d the World Cup because of the Trump administration\u2019s hostility to foreigners and the \u201cgreed\u201d surrounding the event. Among other things, she cites the government <\/span><span>preventing a Somalian referee from entering the country<\/span><span>, <\/span><span>Iranian fans\u2019 tickets getting revoked<\/span><span>, and <\/span><span>ticket prices<\/span><span> to qualify her bogus claim.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThe U.S. men\u2019s national team could make a historically deep run and the tournament could be filled with wondrous goals and compelling games,\u201d she writes. \u201cIt will not change the fact that we have shown ourselves to be a hateful and greedy nation, one where leaders are only willing to welcome a world as they want to see it rather than as it exists, and the love of the game is exploited for top dollar.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!-- \/10519169\/dailycaller_incontent_2 --> <\/p>\n<p><span>She goes on: \u201cThat will be the legacy, and the shame, of this World Cup. This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to showcase the best of the United States and embrace the joy that soccer brings the rest of the world and, instead, we chose to be ugly Americans.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>She fails to mention that the last two World Cups were hosted in Qatar and Russia. Yeah, I wouldn\u2019t exactly describe those countries as shining beacons of democracy, humans rights, fairness and transparency.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>And, what\u2019s with the \u201cwe\u201d here? What is she even trying to say? Why is she suggesting that all Americans share some collective agency that obviously does not exist? Is she projecting? Did the Southern woman <\/span><span>who went out of her way to give<\/span><span> Freddy a ride to the stadium when it was raining choose to be an \u201cugly\u201d American?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/hometransferguide.com\/?p=1630\">Meta Unveils Program To Train American Workers For Data Center Construction Jobs<\/a><\/p>\n<p><!-- \/10519169\/dailycaller_incontent_3 --> <\/p>\n<p><span>Armour\u2019s piece is not only tedious, it\u2019s the perfect example of a glaring disconnect between normal Americans and the liberal media class that claims to speak on their behalf.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Not a single normal American soccer fan (outside of a tiny minority, perhaps) actually cares about all this political noise. Has Armour ever encountered a normal American sports fan? Has she encountered an American who just wants to watch a game \u2013 whether it\u2019s baseball, basketball, or soccer \u2013 and use it as an excuse to be a degenerate and drink too much?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Clearly not, because normal American sports fans aren\u2019t dialed into politics as much as she thinks. Normal Americans couldn\u2019t care less that Iranians\u2019 tickets were revoked amid a war (lest we forget, <\/span><span>FDR sent 120,000 Japanese Americans<\/span><span> to internment camps during World War II, so this is hardly a controversy). Normal Americans are either tuning out the World Cup \u2013 not because they think it\u2019s symbolic of political corruption, but because they think soccer is flamboyant and boring and would rather watch baseball \u2013 or they are tuning in, rooting for their national team to succeed, or else watching other national teams for whatever reason.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Take it from me. I am a normal American soccer fan. I\u2019m not about to spend an arm and a leg to travel and watch a match. I don\u2019t care about the ticket prices. I just love the World Cup. I know I can\u2019t, but I want to watch every single game. I want Team USA to go as far in the tournament as possible. I root for other teams, as well. I root for the Netherlands because I grew up admiring Dutch players, and I always liked their vibrant orange jerseys. I root for underdogs. I want to see a dark horse team crush the reigning champions. I love sports, and I love soccer, and though I follow politics closely, I see the World Cup as a reprieve from politics,<\/span><i><span> not<\/span><\/i><span> as its embodiment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>So sure, Armour, and others like her, will decry this tournament as corrupt and immoral. They will turn it into an indictment of America. But all the while, Freddy and the rest of us normies will go on watching the beautiful, in utter bliss.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p><em>This post is adapted from the Daily Caller\u2019s Substack, State of the Day.\u00a0Click here to sign up.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/hometransferguide.com\/?p=1628\">Horrific Child-Abusing Priest Case Could Now Lead To Deportation<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An anonymous European tourist wasn\u2019t the hero we asked for.
