Retarded media label for retarded SUV-driving middle age women who are wholly convinced they know what's best for everyone, even beyond making their kids play futbol. They helped Bush get elected (they're "security moms" now...........) :smt014
And they think only of themselves and their spawns when they vote conservative, also. Plus they are the ones who start all the movements to ban stuff (violent movies, games, etc.)
Aaah right... though I still don't get the link with soccer <scratching head smiley would be here if it wasnt removed in favour of ultra-useless crap>
The soccer badge is tacked on because a large portion of these SUV Driving mothers have children (most little girls) who plays soccer, thus they often cart around their children in these SUV's to and from their soccer games/practices and so on.
Right on. The soccer is kinda in reference to "suburban" moms, who send little Timmy/Tammy to play soccer, while driving their A. volvo or B. SUV. As of late, it has been more on the SUV side. :smt043 Said soccer moms are usually outraged when such things as the recent T.O incident occur. :smt043
They're also not willing to take responsibility for their own children's actions (hence the move to ban whatever is popular at the time).
Soccer mom, n. so-ka-r mohm 1. One who has spawned vast amounts of ugly children with pointed heads (ranging in number from 2 to sometimes as much as 5) 2. A person, usually female, who has purchased a highly fuel-inefficiant Sport Utility Vehicle to transport said gremlins to and from sporting events, in this case, soccer. These events are used to justify the high price and vast wastefullness of such a vehicle. Other lame justifications can sometimes include more room for groceries, but this is becoming as archaic as it is ridiculouis. Past trends have substituted Volvo station wagons for the SUV, but this had been phased out in favor of larger, more dangerous, and wasteful vehicles. 3. Abhor the idea of properly raising their hatchlings, and instead of parenting by example, would seek to invoke Congressional ban or mass disinformation campaigns directed against offending subject matter. The recreational gaming industry is a common target, possibly because its vast power causes soccer moms to feel threatened by their lack of understanding. 4. A bit of a stereotype, but in a good deal of cases horrifyinly true and accurate.
If you had this consumer demographic constantly rallying for bans on various games, harsher ratings systems, or blaming games for the horrifying behaviour of their mutant offspring, you would too. ;-)
Soccer Moms just moved from station wagons (70's) to mini vans (80's - 90's) now on to a multitude of SUVs and SUV wannabes. They really should just control their child production and all the gas hogs could be left to the men. :-D
