The only people really casting stones are the soccer haters, in real life and on the Internet. At least in my experience.
I'll try to find an article from this past summer that collected all the angry tweets ESPN got from people because of their broadcast of the Confederations Cup.
Some people just freak out and get mad when they see soccer on their TV, and it's because they were just bred to hate the sport.

The average dumbass American fears what he does not understand, hates change and things foreign to him.
Soccer essentially represents all of that wrapped up into a 90+ minutes package with very little commercial interruptions ...
And this scares the shite out of that average American and he does the only thing he knows to do ... he lashes out against it in the most negative connotations to bring it down.
My father is one of these people that says he hates soccer and for all the reasons that have been listed but as far as I know never watched the game. I have attempted to get him to watch a Liverpool or USMNT match with me but he just refuses to give any attempt to watch, instead he gets on his computer and ignores the game.
I feel like the rest of America is the same way. It has been beaten in a lot of us that soccer is wrong and if you like it you are un-American which is just not the case.
