    LOL. Kind of. I've been saying it for about 5 years that the NFL will crash and burn. I just didn't know it was going to happen so quickly... I said 20 years, it may be 15!

    Soccer is the future of American sports. Its only a matter if time. Its almost caught up to baseball (which is going the way of the dodo bird.) That'll make a lot of people here happy.

    As long as football goes bye bye.

    And baseball will always be fine.

    Soccer... eh, maybe? I think it'll be an niche the entire time, IMO.

    I feel sorry for Atlanta sports fans. Jeez. That last first down basically was a symbol of the their recent struggles.

    Bones.... Sometimes the tide turns when you don't want it too. I've accepted that about baseball a while ago.

    I just don't see it. Baseball -has- fallen off, but it'll always be a top 3 sport (NFL, NBA, MLB).

    Soccer internationally will always be huge... but in this country I just dont think it has the appeal other than the lack of commercials.. to which then the logo isn't going to even be visible on jerseys to have all the ads.

    I think it's long term sell. Obviously it won't be immediate but if you look at the numbers, kids younger and younger are getting into soccer. I think given the push by the newest USSF candidates to change "pay-to-play" rules, the emerging modern sports market and just less kids involved in traditional sports in general.... The growth will be more than people think. Heck e-sports growth may be off the charts in the next decade or so.

    Nah. E-sports will die soon. That is a fad. And I love video games. It's so niche.

    I do agree that more and more people are playing soccer here... I just don't see it, long term or otherwise.
