Your point on materialism and advertising is important. In fact I would say it's a reason why sports like baseball and American football are not popular elsewhere in the world. I have often read it is linked to Americans having short attention spans. So much stopping and starting in American sports it hardly seems like a sport. The flow of football is part of its magic. Americans seem to be obsessed with stats too. Constant onscreen player and team information. If a sport is good to watch none of that stuff is necessary in a sport that is genuinely good to watch. Interestingly I think most football (soccer) fans would agree that the low scoring aspect of football (soccer) is a huge part of its attraction for fans. Scoring a goal is difficult. Goals have a value. When a team scores it means something. It's a big moment and fans go ballistic. It's really a part of footballs beauty. What value does scoring 1 of 50 baskets in basket ball have? It gets a round of applause and a few whoops. Compare that to a whole stadium standing up and going mental with joy.

+nitelite78 As an American soccer fan, I'd say that that sport has its share of stats--in addition to goals and assists, it has possession %, shots, shots on goal, pass completion % (mainly for midfielders and defenders), tackles and clearances (mainly for defenders), fouls committed, yellow cards, red cards...and then you get to goalkeeper stats such as saves and cross captures. And why would you keep track of possession and pass completion percentages, tackles, and clearances? Because such things make up the "small goals" of soccer that may or may not add up to the big goals. With so few goals, you need to have other metrics to fairly judge how players are doing, and how the whole team is doing. The nature of these sorts of "small goals" or sub-goals are a major reason why soccer has struggled to catch on in the USA, as I will discuss in my own comment...

American Football WAS played with your feet in its very early days. It was a variation on traditional football (soccer) where you could advance the ball down the field by kicking it while players were allowed to tackle you. Then later more Rugby rules were introduced and it became more like Rugby where you could hold the ball, and kicking it was no longer allowed. But everyone had already been calling it football so the name stuck. They didn't realize that 100 years later there would be the internet and global media satellite TV and the name would cause confusion...get over it...

You know what rugby is actually called? Rugby Football. Now why does it have football in the name? Because it as a decedent of the actual game football. Wait, but we Brits invented football, and you use your feet to shoot and score. Did we not? Yes you guys did, but that is called association football. Which is also a descendent from football. So what is football? Football is a sport where people run on foot (not horseback like the rich people playing polo were doing) and they can run the ball, throw the ball or kick the ball to a designated area. What we did was make it into two sports instead of one. One where you kick it, and one where you throw/run the ball to a designated area.

In soccer there are many things you must do tactically in order to have a chance to score (hence the low scores). In basketball there are many ways you must attack the basket based on how the defense is read, and the moment you score you must immediately rush back to your side to defend quickly. Same goes for American football in that you must read what the defense will do next which isn't always easy. And for baseball (the one I have the most experience with) isn't easy to play at all. Hitting a round ball, with a round bat, that is being pitched at speeds of 90+mph is one of the hardest things to do in sports. And no sport is hard to watch if you spend time going into the details of a play to occupy yourself

"Soccer" is a British word, coined in Britain over a century ago. There were several codes of football rules. The standardized rules were developed by an association of clubs and they called the rules "Association Football". They abbreviated it to "soccer".

Great speech, great points. Well done! One more thing I would add, not just the commercials, but in soccer you go to the stadium and you watch 45 min of action, then a 15 min brake and another 45 min of action. In Basketball, Baseball, Football...there is an action-pause-action-pause-action-pause...time out home team, time out away team, commercials time out, short brake, long brake...and people sit there eat something, drink something...on average NBA game lasts 2-3 hours and the game itself it's 48 min. NFL average action time is about 11 minutes and another 174 minutes in replays, commercials, time-outs...

NUMBER 7: cause its not something you can dominate, and whatever you can't dominate, you act like children and try to ridicule all because you can't conquer it. NUMBER 8: cause America is tiny.

Football/Futbol (soccer) has passion. Like you said it's a religion. I would devote my whole life to it if I could. The atmosphere in the stadiums is just amazing. The arguments you gave for why basketball, baseball and American football is so popular in the US are also the arguments for why I think the sports are so lame. Advertisment everywhere, constant time-outs, lots of goals/points. A football match flows and the fans dance like it's a living thing. The build up to a goal, the explosion of joy it brings and then the celebration afterwards make it so much better. You can really lose yourself in a match. I can't even describe the feeling when your team wins the Champions League in the final minutes of a game... or lose it... (Bayern fan here :D)

No, he's telling you to read a history book on the history of sports, and not some grade school history survey book you uneducated, half-illiterate dolt. Anyone with a decent education would know why "football" is called "football", and why the sports of "association football", "Australian football", "Rugby Union football", "Canadian football", and "American football" all share the same name and have to be distinguished from each other. And in fact, since only one of those is played with a round ball and makes contact with the hands illegal, it soccer that is in fact the odd duck in the football family of games. Anyone in touch with the history of sport would know that much of modern athletics can be traced by to the village sports of medieval England, which were perhaps older than that but the history of how Roman children's ball sports intermingled with the Gaelic traditions still perversed by the Brits is lost to time. Suffice to say that we know for a fact that the term "football" dates back to the middle ages, and referred collectively to the sorts of sports played by peasants. We don't know what the peasants called these sports, because it wasn't written down but the aristocrats that mentioned them called them "football" because they were played with a ball by people who - quite unlike 'proper' sports like hunting and jousting - were on foot. Village sports were diverse with each village having its own rules, but they generally could be grouped into two sorts - those that allowed the ball to be moved by hand and those that didn't. Eventually in the 18th century, the rules for the games began to be codified, becoming today Rugby and Soccer. When the English colonized America, they brought their ball sports and their stick sports with them, but unchained from mother England American sports diverged in the rules. Rounders became Baseball, and the village sports that allowed movement with the hand became codified as American Football. Soccer as known and played in America, from the 1860's to the 1930's, but it never really caught on as a national sport the way Baseball had. During this period, it was common to refer to "Association Football" both in England and America as "soccer". Calling it football didn't begin until the 1950's, when the Latin American nations (which only knew one sort of football) exported the term back to Europe. But in America and Australia, with two sorts of football, one more important than the other, the old English term "soccer" stuck. The reason soccer died in America is complicated, but has to do in part with the Great Depression. Baseball was by far the national sport, but soccer was vying then for #2. But the problem was radio and the fact that American sports developed professional leagues that were highly organized and designed to entertain. Soccer on the other hand stayed mired in the amateur club tradition and the feuding disparate professional leagues all went bankrupt. By the 1950's, and the invention of TV soccer was already waning in the USA (but not enough to keep us out of early world cups). With no money backing it, only regional interest, and neither a professional league to give your love to nor a presence in TV to inspire anyone, soccer simply faded away and became a sport someone else played. Americans played baseball, basketball, hockey, and football. They played more volleyball than soccer. Until title 9 came along and someone noted that soccer would make a perfect girl's sport to pair with the more manly football.

No, sports can be popular, but they won't run the landscape without melding into the culture. I'm speaking for myself, but I don't think soccer should be anything more than a top 5-6 sport in America, and never beyond that. It's good, but it doesn't tie into our nation's history nearly as much as baseball, and it never will. Baseball was in America since the Civil war, and nothing has shaped our nation's landscape like that war. It would be arrogant to say that soccer should supplant baseball, basketball, hockey or american football. Can it join them? Of course. But I get the feeling that other countries people's look down on America for not making soccer its nations pastime. Put simply, it doesn't deserve to. Baseball was in with our society since its defining moment. Rational americans aren't threatened by soccer, but are annoyed by the vitriol that they get when other nations complain that we don't worship soccer. I think I would like soccer more if other nation's fans wouldn't hate on my sports. To each their own.

The U.S. Youth Soccer organization says that participation in soccer is 30 times higher now than it was just 40 years ago. There were 103,432 children registered to play soccer in the U.S. in 1974, 1.6 million children registered to play in 1990, and more than 3 million registered to play in 2014. The Wall Street Journal noted that youth participation in soccer is double that of tackle football and larger than baseball by about 1 million participants.

Soccer scores 2.2 goals per game? That is because it is SO difficult to score!! Hello darling!!! which in turn makes soccer...WAY more excting than WWF on grass...or ping pong on a basketball court....any day..any time! Also I believe that the young MLS league is averaging around 20,000-25,0000 per game....and things are looking brighter and brighter every year....so who told you that Americans do not like soccer? Fox "news"....perhaps?

In regards to "valuing leisure time", watching a football game now takes 3+ hours because there are so many commercials. It's the reason I started watching soccer recently. Those games go quickly because there aren't any commercials during the two halves. Players are also moving during that entire time, as opposed to football where players move for maybe ten minutes of the sixty in the game. Listening to these reasons, I bet you could apply them to hockey as well (to a lesser degree).

What some people don't realize is that a soccer game can still be very entertaining even if it ends just 0-0 or 1-0. Goals aren't needed to make it entertaining to watch. The game can life from the tension alone, it doesn't necessarily need many goals to make it interesting. But I'm not going to force my opinion on anyone. To each his own. I just think that many Americans are a little to ignorant towards soccer. Most people don't even give it a chance and most people saying that it's boring probably don't even know the rules and have probably never seen a full >good< game of soccer. Which might be one of the problems. Let's be honest, the MLS isn't exactly a league with high quality teams. Maybe if they showed some more English Premier League, German Bundesliga or Spanish La Liga more people would be interested in soccer.
@RobotShlomo

You seem like a pretty reasonable person so I'll try to explain as best I can. Americans are not very excepting of ties, nor do we like the idea that 1-0 is an insurmountable lead. The NFL goes for YEARS without ties, to the point where the players don't even know you could end in a tie. I hear all the time "well, you just don't understand the game", we understand it perfectly, kick the ball in the net. There just aren't enough elements in sports present in soccer that we enjoy. And because it's still not a big money game here, it's difficult to get kids to play it past childhood, especially when they see LeBron James on television every night. It doesn't matter which two teams they show from those leagues, sports in the US are built on regional rivalries. Boston vs. NY. Washington vs. New York. Chicago vs. Minnesota. LA vs. SF. etc. Detroit vs. Chicago. Those names you said are meaningless when the NY Giants are playing the Philadelphia Eagles.
