[quote=Anonymous]At least in the case for boys, soccer is a 2-3rd tier sport in this country. And I say this as a parent of boys who play soccer. They like it but it’s not what they follow or talk about. Basketball and football are top of mind. It doesn’t mean soccer isn’t a great sport, and in the rest of the world it’s clearly #1. But the culture here is a long long way from putting soccer in the first tier. But it could happen one day. Basketball didn’t used to be so popular and baseball was. I also have a DD who plays soccer. For girls soccer probably is a top tier sport. The World Cup helps and I hope women’s soccer continues to grow. Having marketable players that are known outside the soccer world is good for overall interest and dollars. Crossover celebrities is what makes a sport go popular - Babe Ruth, Mohammed Ali, Michael Jordan, Megan Rapinoe?[/quote]
