I don't think it is business-related. Businesses would love to be able to make a buck off any popular sport, and there are those that do in niche markets such as foreigners living in the USA.
The dilemma is probably a cultural one. Most popular American sports involve lots of point-scoring; they are not a matter of chess-like back-and-forth strategy on the playing field, as is the case with soccer.

Because America is in love with American football. I think it reflects more of an Amercan mindset. Methodical planning and strategy play a large part of the game that doesn't in soccer. Not to mention brute force. I know there is more to soccer than just kicking a ball around, but I think a lot of American's view it that way.

Cultural, America's early elites on decided that the new nationw would have it's own traditions seperate from Europe that includes sports. The vast seperations created by the oceans made that possible.
