“Yes, there is such a clamor in this country for Pro Soccer. Its bigger than the NFL.”

Then why does major league soccer have such a pathetic presence here? If there is such clamor private enterprise would rise to the challenge.

I think the typical soccer fans in this country don’t have the money to pay ticket prices that would support raising it to the status of the NFL.

Because it's a minor league, compared to the European Leagues. Hardcore soccer fans here would much rather watch the EPL, or UEFA Champions League.
