No one in America cares about the World Cup. They can hold it on the 4th of July and people still won't care. Most of the reason given are pretty lame except the worker conditions and the lack of beer.
No one?
Plenty of people do..Its full of bars that show Premier League and people go on weekends to watch the games early in the morning! You don't see all the people driving cars with Barcelona, Real or whatever logos? I guess hispanics Americans don't count for you??? 53 million plus of them don't count? They're nobodies.
And they're not even the ones watching Premier League games...
The MLS League? Nobody cares about that...Nobody in Seattle cares..they only average about 44,000 plus for home games!!!!!!! Those people don't exist in the Atomic world.
Come on now dude... the "nobody in the US cares about soccer" argument is played out man... the new New York City Football Club just signed David Villa for crying out loud. You may not know who he is but plenty of people do.
DC United has over half of RFK seating eliminated for their games. And looking at the crowd it looks like mostly illegal immigrants. Soccer is way down on the list of favorite sports for Americans...behind NFL Football, Baseball, NBA Basketball, College Basketball, Nascar, College Football, Golf...
Maybe you see a lot of that stuff in DC because there are a lot of foreigners livng there. But I am talking about people born in America. They don't like soccer. We don't even have a DC United thread on here. We have three baseball threads.
My point being they don't need to make any altercations to their schedule for us. We won't care either way. Let them played in Quatar or Russia as I am sure they will appreciate a heck of lot more than us.
People watch Premier games because they are anglophiles. If people like soccer here they wouldn't be watching premier games anyway they would have the best soccer players in the world here and they would support their local teams. DC united average 13k fans a game last year.
