Most Americans, rich and poor, play American culture sports or none at all. There's no money in the MLS relative to the bigger American sport leagues like the NFL, NHL and NBA. Soccer is a niche sport in the USA. The fact most players have to move abroad and away from their families to support themselves doesn't help either. Kids won't invest time into a sport where they 1) don't have a great chance of success, 2) salaries aren't that high anyway and 3) have to move away to faraway cacurope.

:dead: I never knew you disliked England like that.
:pachaha:

I actually dont. I love English humor, their culture, and they have beautiful people. But I get my jokes in.

But be real, there are many places in America we go :whoa: at. Same is true in England.

1) There isn't a great chance of succeeding in any pro sport. That's why they make so much money.
2) Africans, South Americans, and Asians have no problem moving to Europe to play soccer. Don't see why Americans are any different.

Yeah, America is a first world country and has a sport media platform worth billions of dollars. Africa doesn't have the same launching platform and infrastructure for burgeoning players. If said players could stay in their home countries and make money, they certainly would. In America the chances of succeeding in sport are higher and the money is better as well. Americans have no interest in leaving what is considered by many to be the greatest country in the world. Americans would rather play an American sport and adored by America than leave to cacurope and be denigrated by eurolames that think they're better than everyone else b/c they can kick a ball around.

translation = Americans kids are fat, lazy, and content and their parents dont want to see their babies leave.

This isn't true at all. American kids and athletes are better than European kids and athletes. Toby Gerhart athletic measurables alone are better than Cristiano Ronaldo's - and Gerhart is not the best athlete in American sport. He's just very good. Similar to the way Europeans are content to ignore American football, Americans are content to ignore soccer. Just as the Europeans aren't "fat, lazy or content" for ignoring American football, so Americans aren't such for ignoring soccer. The same applies for Europe's aversion to baseball and their loyalty to rugby or handball. It's a matter of preference. You soccertards will use any red herring and misrepresentation to push your bullshyt.

Try to responding to my arguments before you criticize anything about my labelling or term use. You win arguments by providing counterarguments, not fixating on terms you don't like. Come back when you have a reply to my assertions.
