It’s a terribly boring sport to watch but I don’t think it has anything to do with R vs D (I even have a couple Republican friends who watch it, for reasons unknown to me). As much as the media wants to push soccer on Americans, most of us just don’t like it and so nobody probably even thought to ask MLS teams not to market Obamacare.
Not enough driving on the goal. Men's soccer seems to be about wearing out your opponent and picking up a goal if you're lucky. The women seemed to think the object of the game was to score goals.
Also the only time the women were on the ground was when they were knocked down. I didn't see any flopping like I see in men's soccer.
As for the breaks, I watch most sports on the DVR so I can skip the commercials, time outs and committee meetings.
It's not easy to score. That's why soccer fans like it . . . there isn't any throwing the ball into the endzone and drawing an interference call.
