Yes. Everything is a bigger sport than soccer in the USA. We (collectively, as a country) just don't give that big a rat's behind about soccer. It's too boring to watch.

Yes it is, you can view all the facts above, but if you want to understand how popular it is with everyone, just look at all the little league teams and how even kids are into baseball.
Also, baseball cards are a huge part of the american culture as well, you can't really say that about any other sport, where baseball cards are a childhood memory for most men, and a huge business in the USA.

First of all, it is not polite to say USA is the only country that matters. I am an American and I love my country but do not ever say other countries are lesser.
Soccer is the most played sport in the world, and baseball was originated in the USA and is not as big globally.

Yes, it's our national pastime. For many years soccer has made several serious attempts to win over American fans but it hasn't really worked out. I remember the days of the North American Soccer League in the late '60's and the Tampa Bay Rowdies who won a championship in 1975. That's about as close as soccer ever got to being a popular American sport. The league folded after the 1984 season.

Yes, baseball is America's established sport as only America sport in 1900's as #2 now in America behind the football.
Most people are likes to watch the America's sports as football, baseball, and basketball. They ignored the soccer because the soccer is not found in America as its only for the international.

Statistically, More americans enjoy baseball. As a nation, we prefer sports that are incapable of tying, and are faster paced. That is why football is such a big sport here. Soccer is a big deal in poorer countries because it only requires a ball and some sort of a goal.

Baseball is #2 game in USA. #1 is American Football. obviously, you never travel anywhere, and I am sorry to know your ignorance (like most Americans) about rest of the world.
You know only about country so called the USA which cannot win a single basketball world cup (even though its one of widely accepted games within), sometimes a baseball world series (only with Canada ) and still loose. There are lot of sports than Baseball, Basketball and American Football. Baseball played in many countries now. To become a real world series and real world champions, US have to compete with other national teams too.

Only in the US.
Facts.
Soccer is the 7th ranked sport in the US behind Nascar. FACT!
1. NFL
2. NBA
3. MLB
4. NHL
5. Pro Golf ( Thanks to Tiger Woods )
6. Nascar ( Is on the rise )
7. Soccer
Be happy with 7th. Had the poll included NCAA football and hoops it would have been 9th.

In the US of A, baseball is king to play, but Football is king to watch. I just can't get into soccer--blame my blue collar roots, but it just doesn't seem that terribly fun to watch.
