Why is soccer so unpopular in the US?

a 0-0 tie with the best moves/action/saves/tackles/passes EVER is still really stupid. to be a great sporting moment/event you got to have a winner and a loser. PERIOD

i brought baseball scoring into because someone (rocket i think) wondered/mocked how baseball could be popular when it doesnt have scoring or action either.

soccer IS popular in America as a active participant sport, for youngsters (13 & under) its probably the most popular sport for girls and top 2 or 3 for boys. Soccer just isnt popular as a spectator sport. and since it isnt popular as a spectator sport, there isnt BIG money in it. And without BIG money we dont have soccer at an elite level. (i know we have pro soccer, but I mean like getting the best players money can buy - like the NBA/MLB)

No offense but don't ever challenge me on fucking baseball again. It is far and away my favorite sport. In fact, I operate the largest Twins-only fansite on the internet.

I'm done now. I just had to clear my point on that. Diehard baseball fan here. I will argue OPS+, RS/27, and all the obscure shit that 99.99% of baseball fans don't even know exist.
