Excerpts from his "World Cup" column today (courtesy of Deadspin):

If the government really is serious about identifying illegal immigrants, it soon will be provided a unique opportunity to record their whereabouts. All the Department of Homeland Security has to do is monitor the city-by-city television ratings of this month's World Cup soccer tournament. Agents should be dispatched to any area in which the ratings reflect an unnaturally high level of interest. That likely signals a concentrated pocket of illegals.

No matter which country wins, rest assured that thousands will die in worldwide rioting. I'm going to pick up the satellite feed of The Hooligan Network, direct from Europe. They show split screen: the soccer game on one half, fans clubbing each other on the other. Yes, America may be the only country that doesn't go goofy for soccer. We also are the only remaining super power. Don't you see a connection there?

Lighten up, people!!!!
Geesh, talk about the politically correct gang. You'll find them all here at the RX. I found the few paragraphs to be somewhat sarcastic, somewhat humorous and -- sad but true -- at least somewhat true.
Guess I'm a complete tosser:puppy:

you guys seem so easily offended by a sarcastic sports writer. it's simple,
if you don't like what powers writes, don't read the pioneer press.

You'll see a lot more like this. Ignorant to the sport but asked to write about it, you'll see plenty of the "but they can't use their arms" articles and jokes about low scoring games and ties.

Zzzzzzzzz.

No problem with people who don't like soccer or diss the sport (plenty on this site) but this is just ****

Dear Mr. F. Eejit,
It is not necessary to edit out the word, TRUE.

Why didn't he just say go to the local sports bar in most cities during Stanley Cup Finals and round them up there too? Supposedly over 1 million illegal Canadians in the country and who else is going to be watching the games in say Phoenix?:puppy:
