You said they don't have the money. You can't build multi million dollar stadiums without  a bit of money laying around lol

I meant the public doesnt put the money into the game. Yes the people that own the teams put money in but the fans arent as supporting as other countries. Yeah alot of diehard fans put a decent amount of money in but you dont see the TV ads and the late night show appearances (excluding around world cup time) or big player purchases. I wish it would succeed and catch on dont get me wrong but as of now it seems like a lost cause.

Earlier this year I was called a female cat for playing soccer. There isnt the support necessary for a thriving league right now I guess is what I want to say.

Last thing I'm gonna say on this, because I don't want to make it an argument when we are on the same side.

MLS actually has the 3rd highest spectator attendance out of all leagues in the US, only MLB and NFL are higher.

What about TV views?

Im sure the NBA would be up there as well IF they had big enough courts. The same goes for hockey.
