Honestly, it's not America's sport. It doesn't pay or have the fame of MLB, Football or baseball, (or tennis, golf, hockey, nascar...). So while in other countries, the elite athletes gravitate towards soccer, in the US they move to other sports.
We dominate in womens soccer because we strongly support female sports unlike many other countries.
And I'm fine with that being the state of the game in the US.
which is WHY it is so funny that baseball is dying as much as soccer is in the states. the sport that USED to to be considered for so many decades to be amwericas favorite pro sport.
It's been passed as America's favorite sport. I think because the game is slow and doesn't translate as well on TV as basketball and the NFL. But 16 straight years of rising revenue isn't dying.
3.6 bil in revenue in 2002. 10.3 billion today
as long as it is generating money like that,then they wont care about all the empty seats.LOL
