It won't be long before it's an official HS sport.
Soccer has been the #1 youth participation sport for decades. Literally...decades.

Of course, if you're to believe Chuck Klosterman (and I happen to in this case) it's because youth soccer is geared towards an outcast culture that doesn't like sports, and soccer is the least reprehensible of all options because you can float through the season anonymously, whereas uncoordinated people in other sports are singled out--batting in baseball, shooting/ball-handling/defense in basketball.

Not here it hasn't been.

WTF? You have to dribble, shoot, and move.

It's a race to see which sport is more irrelevant in the US... Soccer or Hockey? And soccer just took the lead.

There's no arguing that if there was one sport that Daria wouldn't be terrible at would be wing back as long as she doesn't get her deathcab glasses caught up on those net over jerseys.

As a twelve year old, sure. As a seven year old? No.

Meh.

7 or 12, they both get a 10th place ribbon.

It was kind of a screwy finish to the year because of world cup stuff, I think the last two games took a month to play. I don't know about other people, but with soccer I don't watch other teams play for more than a few minutes.

Exactly. I mean, we all can watch the random Thursday or Monday night football game or even college. Who the hell watches a random Chivas USA vs. FC Dallas?

I can't. I don't really understand why anyone pays attention to all those Monday/Thursday games the Chiefs aren't playing to be honest. 3 hours a week of Chiefs games is enough for me.

When I was younger I was into all those games but now that I'm older I couldn't care less about the rest of the slate of games. If the Chiefs aren't playing, I generally won't watch unless it's the superbowl.

Having said that, its the same with soccer. If sporting KC isn't playing I don't care about the rest of mls either.

True. That makes sense. I'm not a gambler either but that makes total sense.

Fantasy football too... as much as I dislike the 5 million posts and comments on the Internet every week about people's FF teams, it's huge.
