No.
Yes, that might work. It would also depend on the season. If it were kept to the summer, it would only have to compete against baseball, so that would make it more competitive for fans.
Thank goodness that soccer players would never be guilty of “flopping”.

It's the xenoestrogens in the food and water...we'll all be watching/playing soccer before you know it...
If you watched the English matches from the 70s it was a much tougher game then. Things that would be a straight Red card today went on all the time without so much as a foul being given.
It's the exact opposite.
Check out this amazing goal, probably the greatest ever, and probably the greatest example of teamwork in any sport.
No question - it’s comical to watch sometimes. But that said, there’re some pretty incredible athletes playing the game...
LOL!! That looks like a clip from the WWE! Only with soccer uniforms.
I’ll see you Wilshere and raise you Dennis Bergkamp..Plus it’s worth it just to hear the Dutch commentator.

If I were Czar, and I mean real Czar and not some wimpy Obama czar, I would ban soccer and make lacrosse the official alternate Spring sport to baseball. It has every thing soccer does not: scoring, contact, lack of thespianism, and it requires opposable thumbs.
Soccer...indisputable proof that the rest of the world really IS that f#*%$d up.
Yes, yes, yes and yes!
Hehe, I have no idea what the context of that is, they look like they are on the same team.
I don’t really dislike soccer, when I see it being promoted in this country, it always seems to be by liberals. That is just my impression, don’t know if it is true or not. Probably not.
I guess it is a euro thing, so I feel obliged to poke at it. God knows they poke at our eyes a lot more than we poke at theirs!
Could be said of a lot of things. Look at professional football...sure, a guy like Ben Davidson was extreme, but he wasn’t so far away from a lot of guys who played in that day.
Crazy stuff.
precisely
You understand!
I think hockey is growing. My son played hockey all through school, then juniors hockey in Minnesota. My 3 grandsons play and soon 1 granddaughter and another grandson will play. In fact my grandson, who’s 12, played against Ben Sasse’s daughter. Her team won. She’s a pretty good player.
Thank you. Yes, yes I believe I do.
My son played soccer as a little kid. Then, about a dozen years ago, he played H.S. lacrosse for 3 years. I loved spectating lacrosse.
It’s time to start paying attention, I expect there will be some good college lacrosse on ESPN soon. And I have a Roku for ESPN3 now.
