Very interesting analysis here. There are 2 aspects of the change in football in the US I think were missed opportunities (one was kind of skipped over and the other wasn't covered at all.) 1.) The point is right that Beckham has immersed Inter Miami in Miami culture but more importantly, most of the MLS teams are doing the same in their own cities. Atlanta United is VERY Atlanta. Columbus Crew is VERY Columbus. The Sounders fit Seattles culture. Los Angeles has an annual match literally called El Tráfico between the rival clubs there. Nothing more LA than traffic. So while "football" may not be American, the MLS is starting to make "soccer" fit uniquely in each city that host a team. 2.) The other biggest impact on the rise in soccer was probably AYSO. There are way more people now that have grown up playing the game so they are more familiar, have interest in the game as pro entertainment but MOST importantly, they are teaching their children which builds tradition, something that any growing sports MUST have to be successful.

Your 1st point is exactly why Football works everywhere else. In countries where football is big, almost every neighbourhood or town has its own team, and the identities of the place and the team are very intertwined. Rivalries and alliances are formed over time as teams play each other, and even more if the teams sometimes go up and down the divisions. You even form that "link" with the players that have played in your team (even if they are in Europe or somewhere else now) so when time comes that the national team is assembled, it very much is the representation of the overall identity of the country. So thats why i think a lot of people in the US dont think of football as having anything "American", you still need time to form those "bonds". But if the US keeps going down that path, of forming teams and players people get to know and identify with, it will be inevitable that one day you guys might think of football as something as "American" as Basketball or Baseball too

@@sebasoler5347 I agree with you. The most popular sport here in the U.S. is American Football and the culture of each team in each city is VERY different from each other to the point that they have unique personality traits that are common in their fans compared to the other teams in the same league. This makes sense because America is not very unified culturally nation wide. It's more unified by your region < state < city < town. The 2018 MLS Cup was the first time where more fans attended than the NFL Super Bowl (which was held like 4 months later in the same stadium) which is a huge deal here. Hopefully they keep moving in this direction. 🤞

Great post here: one of the cool things that I have seen in the MLS is that they give an award each year to "the best" fanbase of that season. I think that's a really cool idea as it could galvanise many of the fanbases who sit on their hands as a sign of their disapproval with the team's performance. After all, the "fair play" award probably created a disincentive to play cynically?

1.) Beautiful point. I'd like to add that what made the growth of soccer fail in the US was their attempt to "Americanize" the game. But the game never needed to be Americanized. It's the soccer culture that had to be. I love how everyone makes fun of the Seattle supporters but their entire regional culture revolves around being weird and us making fun of their cringe chants will make them double down and I fucking love them for that. 2.) MLS has a big opportunity to build a soccer culture that doesn't have the baggage of other footballing cultures. Unfortunately, this leads to some of them looking very sterile and domestic but I think it's the right route to make the sport as family friendly as possible

AS Roma fan here. I am loving Friedkin's Roma management. They are mixing their enormous amount of cash and American expertise with Roma traditions. They hired Mourinho and won a trophy immediately. Nowadays Roma is having limitations in the transfers due to FFP. This situation was generated by Pallotta, the previous American chairman. Friedkin put more than half billion of euros in Roma. In July an agreement with Adidas is going to be announced and Friedkins are working with the city mayor in order to have the stadium built in 2027 (Roma 100 years anniversary). All of this shows that they do not want only to make profits, but also to place Roma in the top 10 of European clubs for a very long time.

One reason that football is globally popular is precisely because it's not an American sport. That way, the barriers to participation are very low. No such thing as buying franchises, which allows a club to start from a low league and grow: e.g Brentford most recently. It has also meant that there are efforts made to have other countries adopt the sport so a tournament like the World Cup is truly global. If it were an American sport, being the world's biggest market will mean there is no need to increase the sport's popularity even in Mexico.

This led to the sport being labeled as "foreign" due to outside interference. Also, American soccer will take time to grow because less than 1 generation of Americans have access to local professional teams. Tradition is essential in football culture and it will take time for such soccer traditions to form for Americans.

I would argue that it has not been happening "in recent years" that clubs like Arsenal and Liverpool were majority-owned by US businesses or businessmen. I would say that "recent years" means roughly 5 years; however, Kroenke got majority ownership of Arsenal in 2011 and Liverpool has been owned by Fenway Sports Group since 2010. There are even talks about Fenway selling Liverpool at the moment, so they may want to get rid of European club ownership like the Chinese have been doing recently. Also, both the Arsenal supporters and the ManUtd supporters want the US investors to sell their respective clubs because what they have been doing is taking money out of the club into their own pockets while the clubs have been deteriorating. So it seems like either you get US investors who use the club to fill their own pockets even more or you get owners from the Near East who invest heavily into the club with their blood money. This is why I love Germany's 50+1 rule and hope that they will never get rid of it. Regarding "undervalued assets", I think it was a bad choice to use Chelsea as one of these clubs in the table at 8:20 . Chelsea cost Boehly 3.5 Bn, so just as much as those NFL teams are apparently worth according to the table. Saying that European football clubs cost "way less" is kind of wrong. Yes, they cost less when you buy a club that is struggling financially and/or on the pitch, like Newcastle United for example, but Newcastle wasn't bought by an US investor, it was bought by the Saudis for almost nothing in comparison. Inestments like the ones into ManUtd by the Glazers, Arsenal by the Kroenke, or Liverpool by FSG are the ones that really make a lot of money now that the value of these clubs has shot up. Buying Chelsea for 3.5 Bn was hardly a bargain or something that Boehly will get a proper net income from. But who knows, maybe the top Premier League clubs will be worth 6 Bn in 10 years - and if that will be the case I am sure AI will make a video about it :).

I live in the US and from even just 4 years ago to now and football is very popular here. The games are available to watch and kids play a lot. In school everyone watches the world cup during class and after weekends kids talk about premier league games in particular but also the other leagues in europe. Nobody cares about MLS though.

Speaking as an ugly American I think this video did a great job of talking about why football didn't catch on in the States, but I think it misses some other points that go beyond Americans simply thinking football is just for communists. A lot of kids play football in the United States, myself included, but for the men's game it's usually made up of kids who couldn't hit a baseball, weren't big enough for basketball, or had parents that refused to let their kids risk a concussion in armored rugby. If a kid possesses god tier athletic abilities in the States, they usually get sent off to one of our homegrown sports, which means the quality of play for football in youth leagues is pretty bad, which has a negative impact on interest and audience engagement. What's interesting is that while the talent pool for the men's game is somewhat lacking it's not the case for women. Football enjoys a healthy interest in US women's sports and as a result we get good athletes playing, which fosters better competition, which means better teams, which translates into the US women's team being one of the best in the world. So I tend to agree with the video and the comments that American men's soccer is getting better through a combination of increased interest, more money, and changing demographics.

Mls never capitalizes on the World Cup. I’ve seen zero advertisements for MLS during the World Cup. And then it complains it isn’t growing enough. They just hope people look up their local team after watching the World Cup but most Americans don’t even realize MLS exists so why would they look up their nearest teams. Especially when the biggest players are all going to Europe. Americans are more familiar with Barcelona than LA Galaxy
@adrienlgd6402

One of the main issues if not the most important one, is that you can't put ads during a game of football (except at half-time of course). It's 45 min twice straight with no cuts or break. In baseball, basketball and american football, it is the opposite. The cultural approach of sports is also not the same in the US than in Europe (spectacle vs sport for instance). For a breakthrough, the US sport culture needs to change or it will never break really into the market.

This is the worst take I've ever seen from Athletic Interest yet. Its a backwards euro-centric take on soccer/football in the US that completely misses the mark. The reality is the sport is more popular in the US than ever. Viewership has grown among Gen Z and Millennials who now have unprecedented access to the sport unlike anytime in the past (sport used to be ignored by the media) through TV (EPL, Liga MX and MLS are relatively popular), online streaming platforms like KZitem, and of course, videogames like FIFA. This access to the global game combined with previously existing high participation rate and, I'm sure to some extent, changing demographics have all played a part in driving interest. Seeing that American interest in the sport is the highest its ever been (in absolute terms) and growing, these investors believe that the value of the clubs can increase significantly as they tap into this growing market.

Very well said. I agree, this was a very obsolete and eurocentric view of soccer culture in America. It sorta seems like the writers of this video didn’t take any time to consult American soccer media sources, fans, or anyone involved with the game in this country. The general tone feels vaguely anti-american too, tho I can’t fully tell if that was intentional or not (but the “REAL FOOTBALL” graph label was a bit much lol I’m so tired of that inane debate let’s just all agree that the beautiful game has many names). Tbh when I saw this video title, I was hoping for something like one of Alfie from hitcsevens’ respectful and informative pieces on American soccer. Sadly Athletic Interest really didn’t deliver here.

Not dangerous on the pitch, athletic simply overlooking the dominance of the American women’s football team
Please watch a couple of matches and compare them. Americans dominate because they basically have no competition right now, which will hopefully change in the future. Plus women's football makes no money making it pretty unimportant on the global level. Maybe in a couple years, but don't make stupid remarks based on what you hear in the media. Do your research.

To be fair the title is misleading. The video itself says Chinese effort stopped a couple of years ago. No more huge spending on the transfer market and then all capital away from Europe. The only few clubs left are on edge but likely to be sold too. As inter Milan fan, we are quite interested in what the Chinese government wants and I can assure you football is not a priority anymore. So really, if a new Cold War is playing it is not on the pitch.

Not a threat on the pitch? The USMNT is ranked 16th in the world and the USWNT is back-to-back world champs. The USMNT is not the quality of France or Brazil, but it's miles and miles from the anemic Chinese team. This is also true of the domestic leagues! MLS is a slowly growing power that is not middle ranked, the Chinese super league is mostly a joke outside of a few big name players who got fat contracts from a few years ago when China was trying to buy relevancy instead of develop it. You should at least mention all these things when trying to make a video comparing how the US and China are impacting the development of soccer/football
