Soccer is Un-American. It will NEVEE be popular here. It is the UN of Sports.
“It will NEVEE be popular here.”
Keep telling yourself that. I hate it but around here it is wildly popular. And in many other metro areas.
I used to think this way, but I love soccer/football now. It's a world-wide sport that transcends politics - even though there are plenty who try to use soccer politically. The athletic prowess involved is very impressive, and if you followed it you would see this. Also, despite the socialism of Europe etc. it is a highly capitalistic sport.
Don't throw the sport under the bus just because of some of the jerks who either play or follow it. I am very upset with the antics of some on the American Women's World Cup team. That said, there are plenty of players, owners, and coaches in traditional American sports who disrespect our nation and what it stands for.
It is quite popular here, they’re filling stadia.
But, as with most sports, not for games with women players.

That’s why they play it in grade school. Half the students are from soccer countries anyway.
“Soccer is Un-American.”
By the way, the “US Women’s Soccer Team” has no relationship with our government.
Their governing body is called “The United States Soccer Federation”. Wikipedia refers to it as “official”, but as I say it has no tie with our government.
My point is that it’s a stretch to say that it represents the citizens of the United States.
