Fox psychiatrist Dr. Keith Ablows conspiracy theory that the World Cup Soccer excitement is little more than a sick or sinister distraction from serious issues (read: Obamas troubles) was too crazy for his fellow co-hosts on Outnumbered today.
Ablow, who was the shows one lucky guy, said this about the World Cup:
Im suspect. Im suspect because heres the thing: Why at a time when there are so many national issues and international issues of such prominence? Im a little suspicious - yet another bread and circus routine. Lets roll out the marijuana, pull back the laws and people even more crazy about yet another entertainment event.
I think this is a way to distract people. This is like Rome. I can see why Obama would love (it). I think its interesting that at a time when theres so much to pay attention to of such great import, people are playing games more than ever.

(115,947 posts)and that soccer has been played professionally since 1870 or thereabouts - obviously the World Cup is the diabolical creation of the all-powerful evil mastermind Obama who has controlled FIFA for his own nefarious purposes since 1930, just waiting for the perfect time to spring the competition on the unsuspecting world so no one would notice that he tried to get health insurance for poor people, or something. Bwahahahaha.

The only reason sports have ever been televised is to distract from Benghazi. Makes you wonder why Obama ever asked Benghazi to crash the economy and fire all those coal miners in the first place.

Billions of people watch football (the real name for soccer and a sport that precedes American football). All activity stops in many countries when their team plays. It's a sport that is so popular because anyone can play it, from a poor kid in a slum to the wealthiest child. There's very little equipment needed. There's always someone who has a ball, and if they are too poor to buy one, they make one with rags and string. The kids will play barefoot if they have to, the whole point is to kick that ball.
Is this idiot so American centric that he thinks this is a world conspiracy to distract the American public from Obama's "problems"?????
Let me also inform the kind doctor that most of the world couldn't give a rat's ass if we participate in the Cup. We have become better in the last events, but we are no threat to any of the major teams.
