Continuing our cultural impact vote (sports edition)

[Phoenix Dark]

MLS attendance and ratings keep increasing, NBC's soccer broadcasts are doing well...I'd say soccer is popular. But ultimately most American kids who play sports would rather play football/basketball/baseball.

Hockey lost

the seattle sounders have a pretty good following up here. they just need to win a championship to get that fair-weather mania we're so good at.

What happened Esch is when school funding was reduced back in the mid to late 90's the first thing to go was soccer. This alone will set us back 15 years. There are schools that want to put soccer back in contingent on passing of local levies but don't count on that.

dude smashed Brooke Shields. clearly, tennis >>>>

I feel like tennis is really contingent on if your nation has a dude to get behind. Part of what's so satisfying about Murray dropping Grand Slams is how it seems the entire UK feels like it failed, despite the fact that he's from fucking Glasgow.

We have Serena right now but the women's game doesn't have the same pull (and because American consumers are subconsciously racist as fuck).

I prefer Messi simply because dude seems more relate-able to me. Dude just looks like he rode the short bus as a kid. Not saying I rode the short bus but I feel we'd have more in common, whereas Ronaldo seems like a pretty boy asshole.

ronaldo wasn't always a pretty motherfucker



and he's straight out the slums too. the poorest of the poor.

that's some extreme makeover shit
