My perception is that soccer is seeing a meteoric rise in popularity in this country. That's just my perception.

Last time I looked soccer is far and away more popular than Baseball and football for Hispanics.
I could be wrong, but probably not. I count hundreds of hispanics on the soccer fields around here compared to few on a baseball diamond or football field.
Dodge City and Garden City have a huge hispanic population that are from the heart of Mexico.

It depends on what kind of Hispanics you're talking about. Cubans, Dominicans and Puerto Ricans, who have sizable populations in America, are more into baseball.
