Soccer - "The Un- American Activity"

Soccer is here to stay- yes, that's what the Russians kept telling us about Communism.

 

The "most Americans care about" standard is something only the Super Bowl reaches.

 

I'm not even sure SB qualifies.

Only one-third of the nation watches it.

Would take about 60 million "I care about it but am not/cannot watch it" people to approach the "most Americans care about" level.

How many shows are watched by more than one third of the nation?

 

The question was very specifically "cared about by most Americans." That's 50%+1, not 33%.

 

Then it's pretty much none. The Super Bowl is watched by some people who watch but don't really care that much about the sport.

 

What's Dempsey trying to compensate for with all of the tats?

 

Is there a way to unfollow a thread from 2006 drudged for no reason?

 

Yeah just don' t click on it.

 

Did Bradley still get his slice of pizza after the game?

 

I did notice there aren't as many "I Hate Soccer" trolls spouting off in various media this year. In fact, I don't think I've heard one rant yet on sports talk radio. Most of the haters are laying low or trying to change the subject to midseason MLB or LeBron-Carmelo.
