That's how I feel about it. I have been to some games here and abroad..and found the whole experience boring except for the people watching aspect.

It's a lot more entertaining and action packed than baseball, golf, tennis and many other sports. Soccer just hasnt' been a past time here forever like the first 2 listed. The only sports I say are definately more fun to play and watch are basketball & football. People who grew up watching all sports, including soccer, tend to find soccer very interesting. It's the ones who never did until they were adult. But most people don't pick up new sports that late in life either.

Networks here are also slow to pick up soccer because there are no commercial timeouts like all of the other major sports.
