Put your kids on a soccer field with 20 others, at most a couple goals are scored, so your kid's a complete klutz, if he feels bad that he never scores a goal you buy him a new video game and console him/her ''you haven't scored a goal this entire season Josh but neither have 18 other boys on the field with you!" Kids blend in on a soccer field.

Put that kid on a baseball diamond and he goes to bat alone in front of a hundred people watching him. He strikes out 4 times without even making contact. A fly ball is hit directly to your kid picking his nose in the outfield, your kid doesn't even come close to catching it. It's hard for Mom to tell her kid he's a wonderful unique snowflake when he's got objective people in the stands calling him a failure.

Kids in the US and Canada play soccer but those that watch and follow sports are watching the NBA, NFL and NHL. They play soccer because Mom doesn't want them to get hurt, physically or emotionally.
