I would like to know what do the soccer fans think about the way the money penetrate your sport in the us ; and if you think it will be one day as it is in europe.
I think that the sport won't get big until we win a world cup, as my boyfriend always says. However, no matter how big it gets it won't be anything like it is in Europe by the mere fact that the sport is very closely knit with politics and people in Europe can't really separate the two. The US is very much a country that shows a great amount of indiference toward politics just because we have the choice of taking anything that goes on in the political world for granted.
Can you ask a simple concise question? Of course there's "money" in MLS. I don't think that's what you want to know, though.
Gee, it could be really popular in Europe because the people like soccer. Seriously, let's not overdo this, alright? There are some religoius and political aspects, but its mostly about the sport. Of course, some teams are popular simply for political reasons. For example, Manchester United is supoprted my monarchists while City is supported by Republicans. The royal family helps fund Manchester Uniter which gives them a huge payroll advantage. Liverpool is supported by anarchists, which don't have a great deal of money, but do tend to turn out on Saturdays. Nottingham Forest is supported by pro-Euro traitors..er pro-Europe folks.. and that's why the European Cup was gifted to them twice even though they only won 1 domestic championship. There are many other clear cut examples, but the main thing is that people like the sport.
yeah there are a lot of money!!!!... most of it in the sink.... but they have... of courseI'm having a lot of fun on you becaus that question is just silly
Well actually what I was refering to is more of a regionalist thing. It's kind of like the NFL where people on the most part give their loyalty to their regional team and swear up and down by them. I think that there are plenty of people in the US that like the sport, like the people in my school in North Carolina, but that's just because we don't have an american footbal team and our attention is focused on the sports we actually do have teams for. I guess we just have too much to pick from in this country and footbol is suffering for the fact that it is just recently that we actually decided to reinstate it as a professional sport. It is the relatively new kid in town. I wish it could be like it is in Europe because I love getting into the game. The only place I have ever been as into the game as I was into footbol is watching hockey.
