It’s odd that. Soccer is the “people’s sport” in Europe. I.e. the sport of the poor more than any elite endavour. For that you have cricket, tennis, equestrian etc.

Ah, perhaps it is not so much European elitism than European collectivism/socialism combined with upper-class American elitism that bugs the average American.
