I think I know why the U S cannot support soccer:
1. Someone barely touches another player and the touched player acts like his arm was broken.
2. We can not support a sport that pays their players millions while their country has starving people and corrupt political systems.
3. We can not wrap our minds around getting beat by some rogue country who sole purpose is to nuke us back to the stone age.
4. We never grew up watching soccer.
Thoughts?
The US does support soccer, so your entire premise is wrong.
Replace "the US" and "We" in your post with "I", because that's really what you mean to say.
you were rejected from the soccer team weren't you...
Hmm, our country does all of these things (about starving people and corrupt political system) . You need to stop drinking kool-aid and start thinking for yourself. And yeah, some countries have a problem with our foreign policy, but they don't nuking you back into the stone age. You're already there with your way of thinking. Have fun, brother!
There are some good changes that could make soccer more popular in the usa
1. Have an offense and a defensive team. whenever the ball is given to the other time have a break and switch the players around.
2. Whenever the ball goes out of play stop the play to give the players a rest. viewers also can go to get a snack and the tv can show commercials.
3. give players pads and protection. No parent want their kids to get hurt and athletes with protection look more like the average american (fatter).
4. give the coach a headset and all the players an audio receiver. We cannot have athletes think for themself
sucking at soccer
sucking at the marathon
oh America what does the future hold for you?
its not only soccer and the marathon, why do you think the 'WORLD' series are only played inside the country?
because unknown countries beat the US in basquetball, rugby, etc.

You never grew up watching soccer. The fact that YOU don’t care about it does not justify cutting off soccer for the entire country.
You can make the same argument for running. Who grew up watching running? Not a lot of people. So why don’t we just stop supporting track & field?
I could spend all day talking about how the U.S. shouldn’t support American football, but it’s still here.
Yep. And everybody who responded negatively to this must have been born in another country. (third world probably)
The U S will support soccer when all the third world countries beat us militarily. That way we can get back at them by beating them 1 to nil after 2 hours of kicking a ball.

Is there a rule against attaching a helium balloon to yourself while running a road race?
Am I living in the twilight zone? The Boston Marathon weather was terrible!
How rare is it to run a sub 5 minute mile AND bench press 225?
Move over Mark Coogan, Rojo and John Kellogg share their 3 favorite mile workouts
Mark Coogan says that if you could only do 3 workouts as a 1500m runner you should do these
Red Bull (who sponsors Mondo) calls Mondo the pole vaulting Usain Bolt. Is that a fair comparison?
