Stop selling the rest of the world short.
Last time I checked, the U.S. INVENTED basketball, yet now the rest of the world has caught up. Soccer has been around in the U.S. far longer than basketball has been around in the likes of Serbia, Germany, and Argentina...yet you don't here them bitching about how they wish their best athletes played bball instead of soccer.
That's like a Brazilian saying that if Ronaldhino, Ronaldo, Pele, etc. all played basketball instead of soccer, that Brazil would be a basketball powerhouse.

It was an example. OK, what if Argentina's best soccer players played basketball? They already beat our ass in basketball without them. Typical American trying to make himself feel better about why the U.S. isn't the best at something. Selling the rest of the world short just isn't right.
not selling the world short...just that, when growing up...soccer season was the same season as american football during the importanat high school years. I know in my area of the country...if you were a top caliber athlete, then you were playing american football.
thats the point i was making. you have to agree choosing soccer over the bigger sports in this country is in the minority?
