NFL for example is so entrenched in the towns culture that everyone puts pressure on their kids to become the town heroes, because they were one their father was one and their father's father was one lol. Soccer is an outsider sport. when you got pressure from family to play football to carry on the family legacy it is a hard spot to be in. In contrast in Australia, AFL and cricket was huge, every kid played it. Now after a few decent world cup performances and restructure to the ALeague, there are more kids in primary school playing soccer now than any other sport. 15 years form now who knows were this will end up? |
This was my point about college football and basket ball.Parents want their kids to go to their preferred school and play those sports.College football is huge and their are several state rivalries.
