Why are Americans so threatened by soccer/football?
I get that it has rules that seem complicated to the average American. But to call it boring, fake, stupid, etc seems so odd. Baseball, football and basketball have more rules. Have more breaks in the action. The skill levels are probably similar in that huge money is on the line.
So why the need to belittle this sport?
PS if you don't take the fan base into account then you are missing a big chunk of soccer.
