Because unfortunately, Americans are more interested in money and since they can't have a gazillion commercials during a game that goes on for two sets of 45 minutes without time for their interuptions to sell some useless product, they don't see the game as worthy. Marketability is their priority.

its not that soccer is boring; its that there are so many other sports in America to be watching or playing. if you go through the channels on the TV, you will see absolutely no soccer, except for maybe on the Spanish channels, and what kind of American would want to watch a match in a foreign language (unless you speak it of course.) in Europe, there is always a game on, and in third world countries, it is all the children know and is completely natural to them. Americans have to buy an extra channel just to get a few extra games. that is unheard of everywhere else in the world. if it was played on basic cable channels more frequently in the U.S., it would become more popular.

I guess Americans like physical contact sports more. you'll get a yellow/red cards for physical attack a player in soccer.
ARGH, US got two red cards today. Ban that ref.

To those who answered that soccer is boring-soccer is SOOOO NOT boring, especially when compared to baseball.
I agree with ontheroad's answer! It's not profitable enough for them.

The game is technically too complicated for the average American to comprehend , slam bam is more acceptable and less taxing on the brain.
