How to get the large amounts of people in the US more intrested in football?
Remove long boring low scoring baseball, then eliminate bore fest hockey, then maybe Americans will drift to a more active sport. Baseball is Americas passtime, no wonder we are so lazy and fat.
How to get the large amounts of people in the US more intrested in football?
Football is already very popular in the US - it's just a more exciting sport than soccer.
try shoffings with ur ball i meant football people will like it and try to learn or hold up a conyest regarding showoffs with free audience
It's not easy and those kids who get into it aren't ECONOMICALLY smart. Soccer players are terribly underpaid by American sports standards.
A soccer player has a typical career of 5-10 years. A top tier player makes $10-12 million a year. A superstar like Ronaldinho makes $25-30 million a year. The odds of playing for a professional soccer team that pays that kind of money are 10-20 times greater than making it as a baseball player, 5 times greater than basketball and perhaps 100 times greater than American football.
Lifespan of a baseball player 10-15 years. Average income and top superstar income is the same.
Lifespan of an American football player is 3-7 years. Average income is the same. Odds are 100 times greater to go pro.
That said Soccer players are VASTLY underpaid by American standards.
Americans have the MLS to look up to. Ouch.
David Beckham will help but not too much. The U.S. needs international sucess to help the sport along.
More exposure of course. ESPN or whatever other sports channels should dedicate, at least, one match per day. I mean if you check out those channels now you see poker or dominoes! I mean.. come on! Those are not even sports.. so they really need to broadcast games more.
