It takes time and decades to change a culture. The Chiefs and Royals have been a part of KCs landscape for decades. Pro Baseball and Pro Football have been around for a hundred years.

Pro Soccer in the U.S. is in its infancy by comparison.

Without dooming this thead to the DC forum, it's extremely interesting that you just happened to mention NASCAR in comparison to soccer.

I DO think there is a mild bias, against BOTH, in certain parts of the country. And it has to do with bigotry.

Im not sure its an "anti-soccer" mindset. Its probably more to do with the fact that watching paint dry is on the same excitement plane however its a notch above watching golf so it has that going for it.
I would rank watching golf much higher than soccer. Tom Watson has done great things since the Royals or Chiefs have.

The MLS has done a good job of fostering a style of play that is in line with what Americans find important and what they value in gamesmanship.

If soccer was an actual sport ....

But it's still soccer. Doesn't really count.

The diving really is a cultural thing, not a sport thing.

It counts more than trotting out a losing team for 20 years while every year taking about how "next year will be better because we have prospects"

There is a multi page story about the team and the city embracing it in Sports Illustrated...I actually think the issue is available just today in news stands. I have not read it just but was interviewed for it so I need to find a copy.

So if some local JR. A hockey team was winning a cup - he would be pimping that too? The sad, sorry state of KC sports.
