I do watch soccer and give it a chance. I enjoy it sometimes. For the most part, it isn't that appealing to me though. I understand diving, rolling around like you are hurt, and crying are part of the game. However, it's hard to take that serious when you watch a running back get crushed by two 300 pound football players and get up like nothing.
As for narrowing your horizons, I can say the same about you. I'm guessing Europe/South America plays less baseball and American football than we do Soccer. Almost every high school and college has a soccer team. We have national teams and a league. You can't say the same about other sports. I guess you'd be the redneck?
