As youth sports kept starting earlier and earlier in age, s0ccer is the easiest to play (although incorrectly) at very young ages. I don't believe there's a leftist agenda to have s0ccer take over the US. It will never happen.quote:To deny the influx of European round ball into our youth sports is frivolous. This has been a conscious movement by the Left to introduce European culture as a replacement of our own.
The average sports fan doesn't like low scoring sports. They need instant gratification and fireworks scoring. Even in baseball only an afficianado appreciates a well pitched 2-1 game. The average fan calls it boring. What did baseball do when scores went down? Lowered the mound and one league instituted the DH to increase scoring.
Even hockey was very regional many years ago due to low scores. Then the Gretzky era and higher scoring occurred. The NHL took off in popularity. The NHL expanded to warm weather areas. Hockey was cool to watch. Now that games are back to typically low scores the NHL is on the decline.
