The professional contracts for Football, Baseball and Basketball in this country are $$$$.

To invest the same time and $ in soccer in the US--it has to be purely for fun and love of the sport because there is no long-term pay out and you aren't selling out stadiums with fans to watch you.

Barca and Man U came---and FedEx was sold out.  We can't even fill our much, much smaller professional soccer stadium for a single game and nobody is watching MLS on TV every 'Sunday'.[/quote]

Yes, there's $$$$ in football, baseball and basketball, but have you looked at the stats on how many actually make it?  Let your kid play the sport they like, not for some pipe dream of playing professional or even D1.  There's lots of really good players who never even make it to D1.

As for travel soccer, I find the trend of hopscotching all over the region, and in some cases, the country, absurd.  There are plenty of good local players, you don't have to travel to Nebraska to play a good baseball team.  [/quote]
