Looking at the Phrase “Naughty Soccer Mom”

In Europe and the rest of the world, soccer is one of the most played sports in most countries. With the growing popularity of soccer in America, as it usually does, this country has brought out a new twist to the game by the people who frequent the games of young amateurs.

‘Soccer moms’ is the new term for moms who follow the trend of riding in mini-vans and watching the game from the sidelines cheering on their children to victory or to at least a good play. The media in Australia and America has labeled these women with a more sexual undertone. “Naughty Soccer Mom, has become the slang that has captured the medias attention and the attention of those who find the term offensive.

The term became widely distributed during the presidential campaign of 1996. A political analyst once stated that these women would have a powerful contribution to the voting power of the candidate and since then, politicians have been trying to sway the vote of this group. By being aligned to politics, the term “Naughty Soccer Mom” has been compared to the politics, power, money, and sex that are associated with politics. These are all negative assumptions, but the truth of these moms being naughty is false. They are dedicated mothers who strive to keep their kids healthy, active and active. They go beyond the norm to make soccer a sport that, not only the kids enjoy, but a game in which life lessons and sociability can be learned.
