The reason we should not follow the billions of soccer fans in the rest of the world is because we are better than they. That's why they copy us. Baseball, football and basketball are American inventions. They bare as much likeness to European or Aztek games as wrestling does to darts. Our sports are growing in foreign countries. The average score of a World Cup soccer game is 1-0...as with the Champion French team's defeat at the hands (or feet) of the mighty team from Bornio (or whatever non-descript country it was). The thing that irks me most about American soccer enthusiasts is their dishonesty. They put out propaganda that it's the "fastest growing sport in America" but I heard that in 1971. I'm still waiting for TV share ratings to go above 1%. And as for the success of the USA women's team. It's fake. Women don't play soccer in other countries. It was all an invention of the fems to create a World Cup where none ever existed. Foreign countries had to hurriedly find athletes from other sports to compete in an arena we built. Then, surprise..we won. Wow.

They assuredly do not "copy us." Very few other countries care at all about baseball or football. Basketball--invented by a Canadian--has traveled well, and the rest of the world has caught up with the US.

Better luck next time.
