All kidding aside, the MLS is not a top-four league.
The European championships were just won, and nobody really gives a shit.
is it:
1. we're too obsessed with high-scoring games, or regular-scoring games that we can't suffer through a 2-1 game?
2. we can't appreciate the tactical nature of soccer, because it's about finesse and strength, in comparison to american football, which is both those AND ALSO brute force?
3. it moves too slow?
4. the times of the games hurt our ability to watch them? they aren't televised often enough? they are baried in the highlights, IF AT ALL?
Tell me your thoughts. personally for me it's a combo of all four- I wasn't raised to watch/appreciate soccer, so I only care for it when it's on the world stage. But surely the sport can gain traction in North America, no? Is it the climate?
WHAT THE FUCK!?
