whitelytning 07/08/18 10:12:24 AM #36:	American sports are built to cater towards limited attention spans and the infusion of commercials and soccer doesn't really allow that. You can't have short periods where you have to pay attention and then 30 seconds of nothing. It just doesn't work like that and because american audiences are conditioned to watch TV in short periods of time they struggle to watch a game. They call it slow, even though it is much faster paced than any other American sport except for maybe hockey. It takes 3 or 4 hours to watch a 60 minute NFL or NCAAF game and yet Americans will say its more exciting and faster than soccer which is objectively wrong (compared to 2 hours to watch a 90 minute game). With all that said though soccer audiences seem to be growing. There are way more people that can talk about the EPL than there were years ago. NBC sports and FS1 have made soccer a decent portion of their programming. MLS teams and audiences are growing. Its slow and probably won't ever be the most popular sport here but it does have a loyal audience that is growing. And ultimately it really doesn't matter. If you like soccer there are ways to watch it and enjoy it. If you don't like it, you don't have to. --- ************************************************ https://imgur.com/iZdWIKJ <cite>whitelytning posted [p:904698388] in Why are so...

I used to be a stubborn hater but about 3 years ago I lived with a guy who watched alot of soccer and he got me into it. Since then I literally can't get enough of it. Its really a beautiful sport. Individual skill, athleticism, and teamwork are all in play. You can talk shit about the flopping but your literal basketball MVP is the biggest flopper the sport has ever seen. Harden is no better than Suarez or Neymar. And I could argue flopping wise they are the same but skill-wise, Suarez and Neymar are much better players than Harden comparatively. Lebron bitches and whines just as much as Ronaldo, and Ronaldo is a better player comparatively. For every argument you make against soccer, you can make the same argument against basketball or other american sports. Its literally just a culture difference. Kids don't grow up playing soccer in the streets/park every week. We grew up playing basketball, touch/tackle football, or just catch with the baseball. --- literally the pacers <cite>DanHarenChamp posted [p:904699746] in Why are so...
