Baseball is too Boaring, Too Long of a Season, Losing is acceptable, and the skill to play Baseball is nothing impressive “anymore”, in 1950 it was.

Soccer/Fotbol on the other hand has action at all points of the game, and requires a very high skill level to be great, and involves the fans on a much more passionate level. When you go to a Soccer/Fotbol match, the fans aren’t sitting there having polite conversation with each other about how their work week was. Nope, the Fans are on their feet, chanting, singing, and having fun with all the other fans in their section. That’s what going to a Soccer game is like. In many ways, Soccer is aspiring to what going to a College or NFL Game is like. (Though they have a very long way to go to be on that level).

Does the transplanted latino population make a difference? Hell Yeah it does. Will White America continue to resist Soccer’s clearly increasing popularity just to try to hang on to Baseball for its own Prejudice reasons…Yes they Will. And that’s the ugliest part of it.

Soccer is an internationally played sport in which White Americans’ are far from being anywhere near the best. White America has a deep rooted problem with that, and it manifest itself by hating Soccer.

France once won the World Cup by fielding the most diversified field of players ever assimbled. Until America does the same, we’ll be confined to mediocrety.

In the Mean Time, Soccer will continue to rise in popularity until its too big to be sanctioned to ESPN 2 & 3. Thank you MLS for playing good competitive games this year, and thank you to our US Teams, both Men & Women for doing a Great Job showing off the future of Sport in America.

Sorry about the Racial realities that I commented on, but to speak on what’s holding America back from embracing Soccer and not mention that would be to tell a bold faced lie.
