There are several reasons why soccer hasn't caught on in the US. Let's look at the countries that love the game. Most are of lower to middle income level countries. In the US, people are still willing to pay hundreds of $'s to watch a bball or football game. But as those spoiled pro's continue to drive up ticket prices, soccer will eventually grow in popularity in the US. In countries like Italy/England, players are paid millions of $'s, mainly because they don't have other sports to compete with. In the US, the pro league can't afford big contracts because corporate and TV deals are still investing in the other major sports. Mark my word....the gaps between the rich & poor will continue to grow. It will cause fans that can no longer afford to go to those games...to start taking their kids to soccer games. It's only then that our kids will grow to love soccer as adults & take their kids to games etc. Just think about the sport your dad likes...& there ya have it!
