In 30 years lets discuss how popular the great American past time is.
the more it is foisted upon us, the more we will recoil from it as an alien import.
True. Thats why its not the current generations but the ones that come after that will appreciate soccer. It may never be as popular as American football but it will steadily gain in popularity. Just like baseball will steadily decline.
Baseball is in decline, for sure. But I don't see any evidence that soccer is filling the void.
