Americans: Would You Like Soccer To Become A...

<< < (2/4) > >>

Don Seer:
because theres a long halftime break the commercials are run then.

Trauma-san:
Oh.

Well, I don't even watch the sports we have now, so my opinion on this means nothing.  The average resident around my house would say "Soccer's for fags" if you asked them, so it probably wouldn't be that popular around here.  Everybody's big on NASCAR racing, though.

None the less, there is still 90 minutes of time where they can't run commercials. American Football, and Basketball have halftimes too, AND about an hour of other commercial spots. If a basketball game didn't have time outs, it would be done in about an hour. Insteat it takes 2 to 3 hours to finish. So the networks other than ESPN don't want to fuck with it, cause no one will want to buy just the halftime spots. I'm not saying it couldn't work, but the big networks want money, not quality sports, so soccer gets put on the back burner.

Javier:
when i see a mexican soccer game in Galavision, there is always some promotion goin in the bottom left of the screen.  So thats basically your commercials right there.

Big BpG:
Well the question was, would you like it to be a Major Sport or not... not whether it would make it as a Major Sport... its an awesome sport... you're always on your seat, lots of intensity, great plays...  awesome, but it sucks because us Americans only see it a month every 4 years...
