The fact that some of those pushing the game in the US are of the left hardly makes it communist. Separate the sport from the fans. After all, I am sure that committed neo-nazis enjoy it as much as Jews.
As a sport, in fact, its the most capitalist of sports. In fact its YOUR sports that are set up in a socialist fashion: drafts, no relegation, salary caps. North American sport is designed to equal everybody out, with NO punishment for mediocre play.
BTW, I love soccer, and I think its a great game, not boring at all. I can take you to game here in Scotland and I assure you youd be gripped. Far more exciting than baseball. Which sorry I find a 4hr bore. Gridiron I enjoy actually, really into the CFL these days. Even so, I find the sport too long, but am used to it after 30+yrs of watching.
Sorry, I will take soccer and rugby anyday. Perhaps you might enjoy the latter more than soccer?. 80m, brutal, more suited to someone who watches the NFL. Which after all is rugby’s American child.
A sport is exciting when you are vested in a team, and at least have some familiarity with players, and history.
That’s the big hurdle that soccer faces in the US. But more and more people here know the big names, like Messi and Ronaldo, and know of the big Euro teams, like Manchester United, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, etc.
I think most people would find, say a Division III college football game hardly anything to get excited about, unless, they were an alumni of one of the schools.
Again, you are badgering me. Why, oh why, can you not allow me to not like soccer. No where in my posts did I insist that you like a sport that I like. I don’t care what you like, just quit trying to make me care about soccer. Ain’t happening.
