Current Events > The real reason Soccer isn't that popular in the US.

(+) Yeah! (+)

When you like something, you talk about it. If you can't talk about it, you don't like it as much.

And whenever you try to talk about soccer, the conversation goes

"Hey let's talk about soccer."
"It's called football."
"Suddenly I don't want to talk about this anymore."

I was going to go with "a range of historical factors, including but not limited to the rise of American football, the red scare, the great depression, and the fact that most Americans haven't grown up watching it."

Who gives a fuck what the rest of the world calls it? Soccer is weak to watch.

Field is too big, players trip on a single blade of grass and pout on a frequent basis, pointless back and forth running, obnoxious crowds and their vuvuzelas, and penalty shots are worth bullshit.

because of lack of interest. we could develop real soccer power if we wanted to. but there is no money behind it. you thinking that americans of all races somehow have this genetic disability to play soccer is silly
