Two franchises win in the Kansas City area. Sporting and KU Basketball. It's a very simple equation.

Football is still the most popular game in America. The age of a Chiefs season ticket holders is higher for a couple of reasons. First, the people who hold the prime seats rarely give them up so they stay with the owner as they age. Second, it takes a financial commitment to be a Chiefs season ticket holder. Many mid 20s to mid 30 year olds are raising families and don't want to spend the thousands if dollars it would take to buy season tickets for the entire family. Soccer will never be as popular in the U.S. as football, baseball, or basketball.

I don't understand your hatred for Kansas. It really isn't that much different than Missouri.

Damn you. When you put it that way...

Kansas = France

Hope that helps.

You are joking, right? You need to read up on some history of the two places to know just how different they have been and still are. Hint, they don't call it Misery for nothing.

I understand how the triumverate of lifesuck that is Chiefs/Royals/Mizzou has jaded you (I do suffer from 2/3rds of it) but seriously, responding to it by embracing soccer is like turning gay just because you had bad relationships with three bitchy women.

Time for an intervention, dude. I'll send you a Cardinals hat to wear. Step into the light...... :titus:

I'm well aware of the history.

Zoccer jealous Jags owner now owns the EPL Fullham FC. Don't hate son.

I would, in all sincerity, suck a few dicks to completion before I became a Cardinals fan. I appreciate the gesture, though.

You probably just got new rep message from Hootie.

Obvious troll is obvious.

And Kansas Thanks You.

I spent an hour at a recent dinner meeting listening to the wheel of a client drone on about soccer.

I don't get it, I don't care for it and I doubt I'd like watching it live, but I admit I can't tell you how many people are even on the field at one time. To me, soccer was something kids and people in 3rd world countries play.

That said, I think it's great that the team in KC is doing so well and the fans of that team are having something to cheer about. It's good for KC. It also proves there is no reason there can't be a winner in other sports there too.
