LOL.
I wouldn't call soccer "gay" or "an illegal immigrant's sport." I do think it's boring, but there's no need to be offended by that. I'm a big football (American football) fan, and some people consider that boring. I'm not offended by that.
Sports and politics should be kept separate, because in a sports debate, even after yelling and throwing food, you can still be friends with the person you're arguing with. In a political debate, considering the hateful extremism of the DUmmies, there's no chance for friendship. Not now.
If you have no emotional ties to the team, then yes, soccer may not get your blood flowing. That's part of the problem, the US simply doesn't compete in the upper echelon.
Passion comes from following your team, it's no different than any other sport. Major League soccer in this country does not inspire the kind of rivalries like you have in College Football, or even in baseball (Yankees-Red Sox).
But once you watch the US play in a game against a superior opponent, and yet they do hold their own, it's hard not to get caught up in it. But you have to have something emotionally invested in one of the teams to appreciate what the World Cup is all about.
