[quote=Anonymous]I'm beginning to think the US issue with a fledgling soccer fan base is not really a talent deficit. But more parents who drive the marketing dollars away from their children. The NFL rules. We all complain about how boring baseball is to watch, but yet it will be dominating prime time networks and talk shows in a couple of weeks. In most countries, every kid would be talking about Ricardo Pepi as soon as they get to school this morning or begging their parents to buy them a jersey. Today, few kids know who Pepi is. I don't have a quick-fix solution, but this talk of moving soccer to the center stage has been happening for two decades...and the side stage is still not seeing soccer. What will it take to give our kids role models and inspire them? Because they certainly have it in most other sports. [/quote]
