That's insane. He is just another ESPN troll. Those guys care more about hits than content. I don't even take them seriously anymore.

Laugh all you guys want...but it's already happening in middle and high school. It's not because we like soccer better....it's because of the cost of equipment and liability.


Unfortunately....American Football and Canadian Hockey are being threatened. Liberal media is pushing us that direction.

on a plus note when you search for that picture I posted using just Moran. you get some pleasant results.

This argument comes after every World Cup, that soccer is going to have a big boom in the US. Never happens.

Can anyone really see the MLS filling the Big House in Ann Arbor Michigan with 105,500 people? Nope.

MLS can take the NHL over in popularity, once their revenues are commensurate with the top European leagues and their product isn't 10th-rate. Of course, that won't happen in our lifetimes.

Aren't you guys building a billion dollar cricket pitch?

MLS isn't the best soccer league in the world, so until that happens, the US won't catch on.

...liberal media? If you're discussing injury incidence I won't call that the media forcing parents to re-think the sport their kid participates in. Soccer has a high injury incidence, although less threatening injuries generally.

Colon Cowterd is the worse radio personality I have ever listened to. I find any of his rants absolutely terrible. He has no idea about sports and its a shame I have to listen to him during commercials on the radio cause I try my hardest not to listen to one word he says.

I'm thinking of coaching a youth league team - I will teach all my players a well timed reducer is the key to success.

Soccer is 'Murica's game now, this softie diving shit and embellishment has got to go

/Bradley play crap trap offside trap boring nil nil snorefest, Jurgen play real soccer no crap

Not 2 years but eventually. I would say within 20 years. As of now the league minimum in the NHL is still significantly more than the overwhelming majority of MLS players make. Let's see how financially viable the league can be once it starts handing out multi million dollar contracts.

It's a rolling 20 years....

It isn't the parents that are changing. It's the schools and they are doing it because of insurance cost.

The media's involvement I wrote to is because every time a person is injured in a sport, the media does a "Who could put their child through this" full page piece with pictures of timmy before and after the injury.

Hockey will be taken over in popularity by soccer...and it won't be because we like it. It will be because we are forced into it because the schools won't be able to afford to participate. These save the world types are starting at the very bottom and time is on their side.

Espn has a broadcast rights package with mls and not with the nhl

This is where the cowherd trolling is coming from

 

[dare2be]

So, based on the thread title, this is the outrageous baseless claims thread, and others are following suit. Gotcha.
