We have soccer at all levels and it's still a 2nd tier sport BECAUSE WE ARE EXPOSED TO EVERY SPORT IN THE WORLD AT ALL AGES.
I repeat, when your choices growing up are cricket, rugby and soccer it's no wonder soccer is the most popular sport.
That's an indictment on sports diveristy around the world, not a statement on the greatness of soccer.

I really do disagree with this. Soccer IS the most popular sport among the youth of america. Its the favorite...as well as the most played. But i feel like when people get to the high school and higher levels there wasn't a solid pro league to follow. I had pictures of MJ in my room because i could relate more to him than Maradonna. Soccer is popular in america...extremely then it fades.
