If Bill Simmons recent embrace of Premiership football is the positive side of the soccer in America coin, then Frank Deford's (pictured) stubbornness is the negative.


In a PBS television interview with Soccer America publisher lynn Berling-Manuel, he illustrates all that's wrong with the anti-soccer crowd. Rather than participating in an informed debate Deford talks loudly over Berling-Manuel, and trots out the old argument about Americans only playing sports with their hands.


See the television interview by clicking here or read the transcript here, or if you see Deford in the street then give his villainous little moustache a tweak from me.


Tip of the Soccer-Weblog hat to the always informative Du Nord.
