Although my favorite sport became baseball, soccer is easily up there. See, I understand that my interest in soccer would not be there if my dad didn't like it or shit even if I was something else beside a Mexican American. The problem though is when people diss soccer, "oh that shit is boring" "low scoring ass games" "how can 0-0 be exciting?" Most of these people, if they were born outside of the United States most likely they will have a bigger interest in soccer/football than any the big trio of American Sports. Of course you'll have some exceptions, but let's recognize what would really happen if you were born in Italy, England, France, Germany, Brazil, etc.
So when the World Cup gets a lot of attention, don't be talking about how boring it is blah blah blah because more likely you would be a fan of that sport if you were raised in a different culture.

the reason so many countries watch soccer is because they never got exposed to Michael Jordan or Peyton Manning or A-rod....that's the only reason they waste their time on boring soccer.

Bullshit. Everyone else watches soccer because its a great game, and everyone in the world was exposed to Jordan and Manning etc. Its just a case that NBA and NFL are much smaller sports than football is.
