no controvery at all for people that like soccer. But there is this big media push that says soccer will become “HUGE” in this country and it’s only a matter of time. They are clearly drinking the kool aid, and not dealing with a full deck. Americans like the superior product we already have. soccer may become half as popular as hockey.

Colin Cowherd of ESPN a few hours ago said conservative americans are mostly to blame for holding soccer popularity back because they fail to embrace anything new.... like immigration, technology. but soccer is not “new” to americans.

And that's what really pisses me off . . . the "media push" one sees is for advertising dollars, and not much more. No one is "shoving" anything down anyone's throat, unless one is the sort who goes apoplectic because Mcdonald's is trying to sell them a Big Mac. Media (and Marketing) push. It's their friggin' job.

And who the heck is concerned about the "relative" popularity of sports? The sort of person who does not understand that one can be a fan of two or more sports at the same time?

Oh, and some airhead on ESPN ripped on conservatives. Welcome to ESPN. Watch it very often?
