I’m actually curious why is an American company is heavily advertising merchandise from another country’s national team knowing that every Academy Sports I’ve ever entered has been full of baws in crocs and camo.


Because said baws think soccer is gay.

Academy is pimping the team that actually has fans.

You should try being less gay as a white American.

Agree, it's a smart marketing move. I would rather watch paint dry than watch a soccer match, but it's a big sport with youth and the illegals, and that means money.

Academy still sells firearms, will shop there if a good deal. Dicks went woke and quit selling firearms. Dicks can eat dicks.

Mexicans love soccer and Texas is a Hispanic majority state.

2nd gen+ Mexicans support Team USA as well

1. Mexicans love soccer.
2. There are a lot of Mexicans in the US.
3. Mexicans have way more money than most people since most of them work blue collar jobs.

Did you notice the guy in the Japan jersey? I think the point is opposing fans having fun regardless of score.

The US is hosting a little event this summer. Every company under the sun has been releasing soccer ads recently.

Hardly anyone goes to the Dynamo games in a heavily Hispanic metro area.

They probably just crunch the numbers.


When the US plays Mexico in the United States, it looks like a home game for Mexico.
