re: Why do Soccer Haters Hate Soccer so much?

There is too much self-serving bullshite in this thread. As someone who cares little about soccer, I can tell you it has nothing to do with the average American's inability to comprehend the "sophistication" of soccer, rather, few in this country grew up watching it or having a rooting interest handed down to them. That's it, period. All the other things non-soccer fans say about soccer to soccer fans is basically just kidding around. Why is hockey not popular in the South? Why is college football more popular in Louisiana than Vermont?
