We say that every work stoppage for every sport. NFL had a pretty nasty one and that did what? Not a damn thing. There is enough demand for a soccer game to take place in a professional setting in America.

That's the well-established NFL. Soccer would be hurt big-time. Hockey had a strike and was hurt a lot. Soccer is on much shakier footing than hockey ever was. No way they recover.

You're absolutely right. If MLS starts their season late because of this I know for a fact that all youth leagues in the country will spontaneously combust and the future of soccer in our country will be doomed. Pick up games will cease. Interest in watching foreign leagues will decline. No child will want to pick up a soccer ball ever again. If I see little kids playing the sport for fun I know I will do my patriotic American duty and call them grass fairies before punching them in the face and throwing their ball over the nearest fence (real Americans throw balls not kick them). Soccer will never ever ever ever ever ever be as great as it was during the year 2014 here in this country. Not this year. Not one hundred years from now. Never.

Am I doing this right?

I disagree. It certainly wouldnt be helpful but everyone who thinks they would never ever recover are off base imo.
