Soccer will never be popular in America.
What we’re seeing with the World Cup is a fad. Within months we will be addicted to the NFL again.
Here’s why:
- Soccer isn’t violent enough.
- There’s way too much whining which goes against the American DNA.
- The refs and rules seem incredibly arbitrary.
- It’s in American to have a sports game end in a draw. It’s just wrong.
- Hard to monetize. TV ads are nonexistent. I actually like this element but our American economy does not.
- Did I mention there’s too much whining and faked injuries?
Basically, what I’m saying is that soccer is a pretty wimpy sport. You can hate me for saying this but you know it’s the truth.
I will continue enjoying the World Cup but we all know what happens next.
Back to normal life!
“go to hell” is basic. “i hope your favorite basketball team has De'Aaron Fox holding the basketball in the clutch” is real. it’s possible. it’s terrifying.
@CFCJnR just another plastic football fan who has never even stepped half a foot in the uk thinking they can just easily demolish the surrounding apartments for a new 60,000 capacity stadium
Football is well and truly gone. It's a champions league final and you have a team just full on surviving for the full 90 minutes. All 11 players of their team is in their own box. This is not the sport I fell in love with.
