Opinions are like a**holes, evryone has one. I could care less whether you like soccer or not. I get true enjoyment out of watching the Super Bowl and the World Cup.
Obviously not. Why would you spend so much time lecturing about the world-wide popularity, etc., except to justify your own interest? Everyone knows that it's the 'World's Game'.
It's not very popular in the US and never has been. Every effort to broaden its appeal to the uncouth American masses has ended in failure.
Why? Because it's BORING! If you enjoy boredom, knock yourself out. But why lecture others about it? I don't care if anyone doesn't like American football, baseball, synchronized swimming or curling - whatever
BTW - what's my strawman? And you never answered my question about this fear of soccer bidness. Now what's that about?
