The recent demise of the women's professional soccer league gives hope that two of the worst things ever to hit this country, soccer and women's sports, may be on the decline.

Both are plagued by no interest and no attendance at every level of "competition," causing the professional league to drown in a sea of red ink. Amateur leagues must now follow suit and be put out of their misery.

Soccer's slow strangulation of real sports like football needed to be stopped, and it hasn't come a minute too soon. High school football programs around the country have nearly succumbed to the foreign-sports terrorism know as soccer.

On a recent Friday night (a high school football night) in the suburbs of Pittsburgh, I witnessed parents allowing their children to play this anti-American sport instead of exposing them to the ritual that is high school football in western Pennsylvania.

Many high school football programs are barely able to exist because young people today want take the easy road and play the no-skill, no-work game of soccer instead of being dedicated to lifting weights and working hard in the off-season to gain the rewards of football.

Young minds and bodies are being wasted by continuing the slide into the soccer abyss. Just look at the recent and past U.S. failings in the World Cup as evidence that soccer is time and effort wasted.

All real Americans need to seize this opportunity to squash this game and save real sports while there is still time.
