Comments on: A note to the world: we DO play football in the States! http://globalcomment.com/2009/a-note-to-the-world-we-do-play-football-in-the-states/ where the world thinks out loud Wed, 17 Mar 2010 19:16:00 +0000 hourly 1 By: Cunningham http://globalcomment.com/2009/a-note-to-the-world-we-do-play-football-in-the-states/comment-page-1/#comment-4500 Cunningham Mon, 20 Jul 2009 16:53:16 +0000 http://globalcomment.com/?p=2355#comment-4500 i think football/soccer in the states being less popular and even made fun of from time to time is due to a few things. (first part could be eloquently explained by someone who gives more of a damn ;D)when we broke from britain and became a new nation . we started new. out with the old in with the new ideas..and even new sports ..few of which were invented here in america..maybe our most popular 3 sports? (i know basketball at least) tying with the 1, we then produce less quality players from having less people playing. also the demographic for players in the states as opposed to type of people playing football else where in harder conditions of the world..i want to assume will produce less fight or die passion. most schools ive been in and the people playing soccer in the states were more well to do. while the kids with only one option..that of sports.. are more into basketball. (atleast up and down east coast. west coast being closer to mexico might be different demographically for soccer players.) this all leads to soccer fans in the states having their favorite teams ones in europe. unless you have the the hooks up with technology its very hard to even catch their games. youre stuck watching mls knowing its not top flight. gogo liverpool ! ;o i think football/soccer in the states being less popular and even made fun of from time to time is due to a few things.
