I dont know squat about soccer. So there are numerous literally different organizations? I always thought it was just numerous leagues that fell under an overall governing soccer organization or something.

They do FIFA.

FIFA is basically like how the Olympic committee governs all the different rules and sports of the Olympics. FIFA organizes the rules and regulations of all the Soccier organizations...virtually EVERY major country on earth has a professional soccer apparatus in place.

Fragmented fanbases. If you want Baseball or Football at the highest level...those are the ONLY places to go. Meanwhile Soccer has La Liga, Serie A, EPL, Bundesliga, Liga NOS, Ligue 1 etc.


Also, look at the rest of that graph. The rest of those are almost all Soccer associations. If its about making millions playing a sport...you'd have a much better chance playing soccer.

American kids cant compete though. Is the only option pretty much sending your mid overseas to some bording school soccer academy? Maybe because I only went to black schools but high school soccer is not competitive at all. Its usually 1-2 really good teams and everyone else sucks because most players are playing just to have something to do in their off season.

The average NFL career is like 2.5 years

Also the only league you need to be 3 years removed from highschool to play, the only sport where you can only make a great living in only one league. (Cfler is decent but only if your a top player) . The only sport where at like 30 for most positions your considered old

A fringe basketball player can eat large in China, Greece, turkey, Australia, Lithuania etc.

Fringe hockey player can eat well in Russia, Sweden, Switzerland , Germany

Fringe baseball player can eat well in Japan, Korea

European salaries aren't as high as they used to be, but if you're a basketball player who's played D-1 and you have at least one skill to hang your hat on, you should be able to get a deal somewhere. I went to Saigon last December, and I saw Kiwi Gardner on a poster there :dwillhuh:

I didn't even know they had basketball leagues out there, basketball is beloved worldwide breh :wow:

Yeah, the apparatus (outside of college) isn't in place. All it needs is investment. I think in a generation the USA can be competitive. But the money has to be spent from the top down and the NCAA don't wanna let go of that shyt.

Look at how dominant the womens soccer team is in the USA. It because the sport was marketed to them and the money was spent to develop the game for girls and not boys. The USNWT has talent in the pipeline that will keep them in the world cup mix for the next 15 years.

Breh more and more i see how goofy football is and how it benefits nobody but white men.

I wasnt D1-A caliber so i was like going to some D1-AA or D2 school and risking health to not go pro. I only played football because I was naturally gifted, l but luckily i was smart and could go to school with my academic talents.

I mean top atheltic talent is usually forced into football or b ball. We arent even trying to take ofer baseball. But i wall say baseball and soccer tend to cost good money to get your kid in peewee leagues to build the fundamental so that is a big barrier of entry for many black people in America. With basketball all you need is a park, with football if you have the athletic gifts you can be coached.
