"The real stuff"? I agree with you for now and in the past that NFL was the king of the hill. However, the future is much different. Soccer will within a short few years be the dominate sport here in the US. You will see exactly how much our open border policy has affected our traditions.
NFL is not the real deal, would rather watch the college kids get it on.
Soccer became popular in the US not because of the illegals, but due to the fact that many parents would not allow their boys to be involved in such a violent sport. I blame the wussys in our midst more than the mexicans.
