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.
In most of the towns I have lived in Soccer is for the ones that are either too little to play another sport or aren't athletic/coordinated enough to play another sport. Which I believe skew those numbers making it the #1 youth sport.

Wow, it isn't already? I guess I'm surprised by that for some reason.

Where the hell do you live that soccer isnt already a HS sport?

I am hoping that was sarcasm or maybe he lives in towns where they play 7v7 football.

Hell even in HS in the 90s girls started getting teams from IX.

Where was all this excitement back in 2000 and 2004 when KC played for the cup?

I dare someone to find me a thread on here from back then.

If the thread is found, it shows people care then.

If it is not found, that means soccer is growing?

I kind of remember talking about the championship, not the loss though..

The new ownership group really revitalized the organization. This city has learned to love and understand soccer, in large part, only after the Hunts sold the team.

I want to pinpoint the win over Manchester United in a friendly as a turning point in the fanbase.

It is not a high school sport in most rural or smaller towns. Springfield is the only city that I have lived in where soccer was a high school sport. IIRC not all the schools up there had soccer teams either. Springfield is the only city/town that I have lived in that was larger than 50,000 in population.

They stupidly scheduled it on championship weekend. Why not this coming weekend?

I would definitely have watched, but couldn't

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.

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.
