She had some interesting info. It doesn't measure up to American football in terms of viewership which is no surprise at all. That doesn't mean it's going anywhere. 20 million viewers is still 20 million.
Then she went ahead and perfectly supported what PurpleJ said, and you even italicized it for emphasis. Fucking christ. Nimrods like her can't get out of their own way. She should have just stuck to the first point, which is that soccer will never exceed football in the US in terms of popularity. Call it good at that and you win.

I just want America to beat the world at the thing they love the most. I'm sorry you're not a true Patriot.

That's not what you said...
The World Cup only happens once every 4 years. The real question is how many Americans are watching the Champions League Final and the MLS. The number isn't very high. It's still the 4th (at best) most popular sport for Americans. The average NBA or MLB regular season game has to draw better ratings than an MLS game.

You're entering PGOS territory. We can all read what you said..
"My family came here in the 1800s and I'm watching soccer. Can't wait for the US to become majority Hispanic, just to watch her head explode."

People only care about Soccer in the USA every 4 years. If the USA does something half good like lose to advance to the next stage, then the fever lasts another 5 or 6 days until they knocked out in the 1st rd of the sweet 16. By then hardly anyone will know nor care who is in the WC final and Soccer will return to it's place as about the 9th or 10th most popular sport here.
One only needs to look at MLS ratings to see that.

It's like the Olympics. Just because people watch doesn't mean they care about the particular sport..and the only time the ever watch is every 4 years.

Who gives a fuck if soccer is or isn't popular? NASCAR is apparently a huge fucking deal, but I know nothing about it and don't follow it because... Christ... Driving in circles.
So stfu if you don't like soccer. We get it. Back to whatever you typically do on a thurs morning before the terrible World Cup brought an ounce of excitement into your life.

The difference is if you talk shit about NASCAR, no one gets pissed off. Talk shit about soccer and we get hours of entertainment.
By the way, what the fuck do you expect by talking soccer on a UW football board? I'm sure there are plenty of places you guys and suck each other off in peace.

wasnt there a rule back then keeping professional whores and hockey players (read Canadians) from deserting to play for Canada? I heard some lemonhead reminiscing about it saying that only college students were allowed to play in the Olympics.
