Soccer was not in any of the public schools as a competivie sport that I attended as a youth (Houston, Texas).
There is a sports radio guy here in the Northwest, and he is hilarious to listen to when he starts his rants on soccer. His premise always seems to center around the idea of "soccer is for the 5' 6" guys who weren't big and strong enough to play football, basket ball, or baseball.
He is especially funny when people call in about the U.S. soccer world cup teams. Callers try and defend our little 5' 6" forwards with the argument that they are talented. The radio hosts chimes in with so are the European players, but they are also 6' 6" and so on.
His basic argument is right as far as I'm concened. In the U.S. the biggest strongest guys go the the NFL, NBA and MLB; soccer picks up the leftovers.
