I played both soccer and baseball growing up. In the 80s in rural west virginia.
I didn't think that place could ever be ahead of the curve in anything. |

My friends and I played soccer baseball growing up. This was in the Tidewater area of Virginia in the mid to late 70's. At one some points we would get down to only three of us, and I made up "Suicide Soccer." Triangular field with goals on each corner. No teams and you could become goalie of only your own goal.

LOL soccer fans constantly trying to justify their sport as being equivalent...

Looks like the NHL is holding steady in that demographic.

Austin TX is the largest city in the US without a pro team. Our city council just approved trying to find a spot for a new soccer stadium for an MLS team. I'm pretty stoked about it. American football is obviously the worlds greatest game even though the rest of the world doesn't agree. That being said, soccer is way more fun to play and watch than baseball.

Kids have always liked soccer. They get to run around and kick the ball. Everyone gets to play because everyone knows how to kick a ball. Not everyone knows how to swing a bat or catch with a mitt and being put on the spot like that can make kids uncomfortable and not want to play it.

I loved soccer more than baseball when I was 12. Then my balls dropped.

Not surprised by this at all...
What surprises me is that Zach didn't start this thread. |

Soccer is garbage. This just goes to show how far Bud Selig has allowed the MLB to fall.

Most of Missouri is a major exception to this data. The average Ozark hillbilly is about as obsessed with the Cardinals as the average Alabama redneck is with the "Tahd". I can see how Kansas City would differ - Sporting has great ownership and an enthusiastic fan base while the Royals have left themselves twisting in the wind for decades.
