Why USA never jumped the soccer bandwagon?

Just my opinion but I think it has to due with how slow the game is and how much flopping is involved (it's a very soft sport). Baseball is a slow game, but it's like light speed compared to soccer. 

Personally, I like the sport of soccer but, yeah, that's my view.

I don't find baseball or soccer all that exciting. but I would call Soccer MUCH faster than baseball, baseball is soo slooooow it is unbelievable. I never realised how slow and dull it was till I attended a match while visiting the US.

When I said slow, I meant scoring. Have a look at today's MLB scores. Very rarely do you see a 1-2 score. In soccer, if you don't know the sport, all you see 90% of the time is guys running around a huge grass field, passing the ball back and forth. In that regard, it's similar to Hockey which also deeply lags behind other sports in the US. 

I think if people want the sport to take hold, they're going to have to educate people first. The reason baseball is the number two sport in the US is because we UNDERSTAND it. We don't understand soccer, and that's hurting it's chances.
