So yeah, that kind of poll is massively flawed, but it gets to the deeper issue of sports...Football is #1 because of the SOCIAL aspect. Everyone watched football so it's easier to say, "Yeah I spend more time talking about it and interacting about it. It's also (right now) a higher quality product." This goes or any fans of non-football sports. Football, right now, is a behemoth, and skews the results a bit.
Preach. Amen.
I've been following the European leagues for damn near twenty years now. I love getting up early on the weekend to watch. And I would still say college football is my favorite sport. It doesn't mean soccer popularity doesn't continue to grow.
Anecdotal I know, but people in my office were watching Euro 2016 matches during the day despite no US interest in the tournament. My girlfriend began asking what clubs certain players at the Euros played for.
The more people that begin to watch and talk about soccer will keep the growth going.
