Tim Marchman on the odious Marc Thiessen and his stupid article alleging that soccer is socialist:
Marc Thiessen, torture advocate, is one of the more loathsome figures in American public life, which is relevant here only because he's strayed out of his lane and written the most fucktarded thing I've read about sports this year. Think about what this means coming from someone who regularly reads Philly newspapers and MMA blogs... Thiessen is a really wretched figure on many levels, but the most impressive thing about him is his overwhelming stupidity. Which is to say that one hopes he keeps up the sports talk: Not only does he fit right in, but so long as he's badly embarrassing himself by talking about soccer, he's not using his highly visible public platform to tout the lawless and immoral use of state power!
