There are to many breaks in baseball and Football. Soccer is a lot more action
Soccer has been popular before in America. The NY Cosmos were THE thing back in the late 70's and early 80's. The thing was that they had star power and celebrity.

Pele, Chinaglia, Beckenbauer, Birkenmeier, et. al.

If the MLS packs itself with International soccer stars, people will go watch.

And make no mistake, Beckham is a star. And her husband ain't bad either. America will eat these two up.
