I’ve been really getting into the World cup this year, and Im wondering why it isn’t as popular as other American sports. Might say that there is hard tackling in football and excitement. I played football in high school and enjoyed it however I also started playing rugby in college. I have to say that rugby so much more exciting. So I ask again, why isn’t sports like soccer and rugby more popular in America?

other countires don't have the enjoyment of multiple sports like us. their main sport is soccer and they may have been born to have a passion for it like their ancestors. however in the US, many kids could have been born to have a passion for other sports that we enjoy here in america.

Soccer is NOT an American sport. That is why it is less popular than Baseball, Football, Basketball, Hockey, Bowling, Golf, Women's Tennis, Dodgeball, Horseshoes, or pretty much any other sport or game there is. Basically, soccer is boring and it SUCKS.

Because Soccer is an American sports, that's why American do not patronize it. First, they try to invent something parallel to other sports, and play them. If they couldn't invent, then they do not support them.
