| StarcraftManiac said: Why is The 'real' football so unpopular in America? Well, i think that's because it isn't part of their culture. Americans grow up watching and playing baseball, basketball and American football. Europeans grow up playing football. So, Europeans play it since their youth and Americans more or less don't. |
Errr..... no. Soccer is played a LOT in elementary, middle, and high schools. I don't know any of my friends who *didn't* play soccer as a kid. The problem is no one looks at it as a spectator sport. There are very few kids who grow up of dreaming to be a professional soccer playing in the US - they all want to be football, baseball, or basketball heroes. Soccer could only move from recreational to spectator status with a bunch of celebrity players and established teams.
