I think they made for certain reasons, but there may be some examples:
1) At a time in this country, there were only three activities: (1) Baseball (2) Boxing (3) Horse Racing. All these sports are in decline. The Americans have opted for a faster sports like football.
2) auto racing is has always been a stronghold in the southern U.S., but its popularity is widespread, because it directly from their roots in days moonshiners South Americans and love for cars.
3) Our country is so large, we have had enough of rivalries within our borders. We do not need national rivalries.
4) Americans prefer higher scoring games such as football and basketball.
The growing popularity of football as the younger generations grow up playing age. But if you do not play, not like football and cricket as a child, you do not play when you are older and have no interest in professional sports.
As an American who loves football / soccer (see, play, train, etc.), I think it's because he never been a sport in America looked at. " People do not believe that football is a sport really, because the quality / diving and the lack of scoring. While America is being done to increase scoring, the defense is boring. MLB is always looking for ways to "juice" a baseball for most home runs instead of a good pitcher. NHL wants to increase net sizes, styles, reducing the ban on the defense, leggings, etc., increases the length of the pitch is determined by the team and they score better in the situation.
Because football is not 6.5 or higher score to a similar case Embrase not really outside of major events (World Cup, Euro, Champions League).
I have a few errors in his theories. Football has never been popular. Football has always been very popular before television and the media would play a role. I do not think ads are a problem. In addition, they find a way into the advertising. They tried several times to make popular in the 1970s to soccer in the United States. But it was not. I do not know who is against sport "American." I think home-grown sports are becoming increasingly popular in the United States because it is a dominant culture. It is a melting pot, so when sports came together different groups have their favorites. Thus, sport was jointly created, played together. Thus, his popularity has risen. Basically, it's not unpleasant or despised. Only other sports are very popular.
It's really quite simple. Our professional league is garbage. There is no single MLS team would be able to avoid relegation from the English Premier League. Seriously, I see a game of the UEFA Champions League and try to see the Columbus Crew vs. DC United is like the difference observed between Kobe Bryant and Kevin Garnett and the high school basketball games.
Another factor is the great football player, who does not have an impact on the world stage of football. Americans are concerned that if a player Tiger Woods guy who (in one of the largest FCS in the world Man U, AC Milan, Bayern Munich, Ajax, plays, etc.) Our biggest, is the "Player is Landon Donovan. I think he has twice tried to race in Europe to play, and both times he was sent home, basically because I could not play at this level.
I know that Fulham in the English Premier League has about 5 Americans. But how good is Fulham.
In short, Americans have seen the sport, the legg played at the highest level. Watch out for the World Cup. Scores on the Euro 2008 are surprisingly strong. However, our professional league is garbage and nobody sees it. We have seen 10 years ago, Beckham. But we know that the only reason he is here now, because it probably will not be able to start most of Europe.
yes ... has essentially replaces Football (American) Football waaaaaay back then. With its growing popularity around the American League form and the small (started very similar to how other countries and share their children) in football. Rest is history .... Football is always here, I do not think that is the football win in this life.
I can be very far from here, for it is only an idea, but I think it is because Americans want to win, and quite frankly, are not the best in football.
Ok, quite ready, thumbs down ...... because some of us can not simply with the truth ☺
I do not think it's better because you're at it, and say they want the games, the victory in the file. Junk games that nobody wants to play, but listen to win! I heard some people say, it's a game for girls.
No appeal to the masses, the National Football League. It is a question of revenue and bring soccer to the United States is used to make money and entrepreneurs want.
CPU sing, if u ignore or play something u dont like it or not n Metion rule. and i blieve thts
but I must say that the U.S. team, the chaos in the last few days done, I mean, who plays Brazil
Why do I still have that problem. The very popular here, and only the growth
There are many reasons why the MLS is overlooked when it comes to professional sports. I think that many Americans prefer sports they can play. Anyone can learn, basketball, kick a soccer ball, or drive cars, but kicking and catching a football seems unnatural. I also think that there seems to be a problem with football is not as difficult as other sports because the players dive and fake injuries to get a yellow card. Open from 45 minutes is good. I can see basketball and football anymore because of all stops. every 2 minutes 3 minutes advertising. NBA should really be less waiting time. Let the players play and the games are every time a team scores 4 points without reply left! Timeouts are used to stop the flow of play in the NBA.
Another problem in the MLS is the lack of professionalism. Some commentators are good, I want to show the strong euro Davis Cup but Foudy is terrible. It is so unprofessional! The same applies for MLS games when Eric Wynalda (Former player wants to) just talk to him and kEEP your inventory. I think they should get sports commentators in general for the MLS and not just former players. Another problem is when I can see MLS game, played on a soccer field to stay with all the football lines and logos. For the occasional hobby seems to reverse that play sports fans. As a team of high school. MLS teams should reject it, in an area that in other sports to play are the visible lines that are available.
Fox Soccer Channel MLS games, the air is clear and is marketed for children! Questions, the players ... "Who will win American Idol, what your favorite snack, favorite superhero" Jesus Christ! Talk about the game. The ads on Fox Soccer Channel sooo evil sometimes. It seems a local cable access. We have never displayed advertising for the NFL a bad image. It tarnishes the image of the entire MLS.
Of course, players of the MLS is not as good as most other leagues (first touch is terrible, inconsistent Passing, shooting embarrassing), but games are always fun to see, when a country to transfer professionalmale. I remember Chivas LA a few years ago and visually the game has looked so good. He was very courteous and polite.
Football is not to deny that the conversation can be. Each spoke of the euro, so do not think it is fair that some people do not like football. I just think that is a comprehensive review of MLS and the latest games such as NBA or NFL have.
