It is low scoring. It is perhaps not as alpha as a sport like gridiron. It isn't an American creation. Most importantly of course, it doesn't lend itself well to TV adverts every 20 seconds like gridiron and baseball. The keys to football taking off in the USA then, would be sustained success for the national team, and the MLS finding a way to adapt football (or at least the image of football) to American tastes. It could be a very slow process, but it will happen. Football is taking over everywhere, and to think that your particular country, whether it's the USA or somewhere else will be the one that resists the trend is naïve. Oh, and as an unrelated addition, being low scoring doesn't make football boring. On the contrary, it just makes goals a lot more special when they do happen. |
So basically you are equating Soccer to an unstoppable force that can take over everything in it's path. It is like a bacteria, or virus spreading it's pestilance to to every victim. No one can stop it. For it is a plague. It is the ultimate, and absolute and we should all bow before the one sport soccer.
That is basically what you wrote.
