Why do we hate soccer?
Because it can be play for 3 hours and end in a 1-1 tie.
Because girls can play. We only like WNBA because basketball started in America and is predominantly a male sport.
Because the foreign aka "rabid" fans, dare call it football.

45 minute halfs ... 1.5 hours total.

Don't like getting your arse kicked by a girl, eh?

All over the world soccer is known as football. The term soccer comes from "Association Football" (don't ask me how that happened, though). Besides, for the most part all you can use is your foot, so the term fits the game of soccer better than it does (as an Irish friend of mine once put it) American "throw & catch"
Same could be said for hockey. But as a hockey fan, some of the most exciting games are 2-1 or 1-0 games. Now the MLS is pretty boring stuff compared to International matches, when there are higher quality of players and more is at stake. I find it hard to be enthusiastic about the MLS because it lacks a sense of rivalry, unlike most of the other countries. But the World Cup is exciting to watch, and when the US inevitably makes it to the Finals, the ratings in this country will rival the Super Bowl.
