Why is soccer so unpopular in the US?

[CrashMan]

The reason Soccer isn't popular in the US is because its not a very engaging sport. Its undeniable that a game that ends in a 0-0 tie is tedium defined.

Some may claim "Couldn't you say the same about Nascar?" and I would say, Nascar is not a sport.

I think the real question is why is Soccer SO popular elsewhere? I think the answer is tradition. Its so old that so many generations have been raised with it. If you took every one in the world, wiped their memory, and introduced them to all the sports again, I highly doubt soccer would be number 1.

Now I am not here to smack talk soccer. I do have a unique position though. I grew up with my father, who had absolutely no interest in sports what so ever, so I didn't even learn about most sports until I was 8 or 9 (though my Mom is a baseball fan, we didn't live with her,) and entirely through my own actions. With no bias at all I tried a bunch of sports (baseball, soccer, football, basketball,) and I have to say soccer is just not very fun, to play or watch.

All of this is opinion tough, so bash away.
