do you think soccer will overtake hockey and baseball in america soon?
It already overtook hockey.
Baseball maybe in 20 years.
colin cowherd claims it already has
>and baseball
How about no
>People think baseball isn't the 2nd sport in America
Lmao why? NBA likes making people think its the 2nd most popular sport in America but in numbers and reality it isn't.
>>69314521
>NCAAB less than NHL
I find this extremely hard to believe
>>69314688
Hockey is big on the east coast and midwest and those huge cities definitely have more people than Kentucky, North Carolina and whoever the fuck else cares about NCAAB.
>>69314521
these are leagues not sports
polling asking about sports, not leagues, is far more accurate and telling
>>69314688
>>69314729
You have to look at the question. It's primary sport only. You can imagine that there's more people who care about hockey above the other sports, but there's fewer people who care about NCAAB the most when NCAAF and NBA are available.
>>69314729
Everyone loves NCAAB, it's just it's mainly filler.
The only professional sports active during NCAAB big deal, march madness is
>Basedball(Spring training so not fully)
>NBA
>NHL
That leaves the NFL and college football fans needing something to watch during off season, so a lot of people get hyped for their own college team during march madness making it seem like the nation loves college basketball a whole lot, when reality it's filler for both kinds of football fans, and MLB fans to a point while their sport is currently inactive.
It's like a secondary favorite.
>>69314736
Here are sports and a more recent poll.
This shit about soccer "growing" in the US is only something the media made up in order to get more to watch it. If it's growing it's at a snail pace and can't even beat fucking NASCAR.
Nah it's going to stay niche for awhile but it will definitely survive and grow a little bit. Baseball is fine.
Basketball ironically gets WAY higher TV ratings than hockey but the attendance averages are both at 17k and the total attendances are both at 21 million. Hockey does have a pretty decent following but it's very regional.
>>69314817
among 12-17 year olds its the second most popular sport only behind basketball
MLS gets higher attendance than MLB and NBA. tv ratings for USMNT is rising and big tournaments like the EURO keep gaining in viewership.

Factually incorrect, see pic.
>attendance
I can't repeat enough times that attendance means jack shit in 2016, most people are watching shit on their TVs. I won't even get to the fact that soccer stadiums tend to have higher capacity than basketball arena for obvious reasons (and no, it's not popularity).
>TV ratings
Most people here who "care about soccer" give a shit ONLY about the international tournaments. So they watch a USMNT game or the WC finals during summertime when 4/5 of the biggest American sports are in offseason mode, they aren't the kinds of people that follow soccer all year round.
>>69315067

Yuropoors should pray to fucking Allah that soccer never gets popular in America, because we would turn it into a nonstop commercial carousel with advanced stats autism every 5 seconds.

Compare

and
http://espn.go.com/mlb/attendance/_/year/2015
There's 17 teams that have over 30k in attendance in the MLB and only 3 of them in the MLeLS. And that's with the MLB playing 6 gorillion games in a year.
Soccer will never be relevant in the US as long as MLS is irrelevant
>>69315214
You already do that though
You think we don't follow espn here?
>>69315369
No.
South American leagues are irrelevant, yet it's the only relevant sport there.
Soccer is not a show, it will never succeed if it's only a show (even with the best quality games).
>>69315041
Nope. Even our beaners care less about soccer than you'd expect them to. Dodgers, Raiders, Cowboys or Lakers have all a massive Hispanic fanbase.
>>69315133
>among 12-17 year olds
Also worth mentioning here is the idea that this demographic's taste will stay fixed.
Growing up in the 90's, basketball was the "youth sport." Jordan was the coolest athlete in the US, and every kid wanted to be like Mike. I remember the talking heads of the day declaring that basketball would be as popular as the NFL in coming decade.
Never happened.
All kids go through phases where [insert sport here] is now their favorite sport.
Soccer will rise in popularity, maybe to PGA tour level or something like that, but has no chance at supplanting baseball.
It's also still behind hockey by a good margin.
>>69315518
People have been touting the "baseball is dead" meme since the 80s and yet it still remains a #2 sport by a significant margin. They just assumed it's in free fall once football overtook it, but that was obviously not the case.
And look at the devotion our national team gets in a "big" Copa American match.
On English speaking channels, barely beats out Women's softball.
>>69315552
Don't forget the Mexican play soccer meme
Miami
Tampa
LA
Anahiem
SF
Even south side Chicago
Hispanics all through and Mexicans in the west to be specific have support their local baseball team more so than soccer
Yes MLS is relatively new but it also had 30 years to capture a audience and only picked up hipsters
>>69315552
>People have been touting the "baseball is dead" meme since the 80s and yet it still remains a #2 sport by a significant margin.
Yeah, and the stupid thing they do is reference World Series ratings, which actually still prove baseball is popular.
For instance, the game 7 in the 2014 featuring the relatively unglamorous franchises of the Royals and Giants drew 23 million.
This years NBA Finals game 7 drew 30 million, but featured the two biggest stars in the game and was backed the most compelling storyline of the last decade.
The NBA Finals also has the luxury of running unopposed to the NFL. The World Series will often have to go up against Sunday, Thursday and Monday Night football.
>>69315607
Hipsters don't play the game, so their audience is worthless.
As long as soccer has a "so hip, so Yuropean, so cultured" vibe in America, it won't go anywhere. Soccer is not hip or cultured. It's a working class sport, and it's an obsession.
Soccer must be loved by white trash, not be liberal faggots.
>>69315607
Don't forget Houston, Dallas and San Antonio. Texas is Mexican as fuck yet football and basketball are still kings there.
>>69315778
>As long as soccer has a "so hip, so Yuropean, so cultured" vibe in America, it won't go anywhere. Soccer is not hip or cultured. It's a working class sport, and it's an obsession.
This so much.
>>69315607
I usually call an American baseball hater here a Paco, but fact is, baseball is Mexico's number two ball sport, so the meme that baseball will die as the country gets more "Mexican" is bullshit.
Hispanic growth is also slowing.

This so much. Soccer in Europe is not the sport of wine sipping twinks going to art galleries and dining in fine restaurants like hipsters assume, it's a sport followed by balding 40 year old fat men chugging cheap beer. Those kinds of people watch football in this country and will keep watching it for a long time.

I also don't get this idea that it has to grow here? Not every country has to have the exact same sports culture, and I think it would be a boring world if soccer was the 95% most popular sports in every country while all other sports are relegated to the fringe.
If the US clubs get into Libertadores, it would get a boost

It's too far away for them. Even their league is divided in west/east "conferences".

No matter how many times you ask, the answer is still no.

Yuro logic
ITT: yurofags who don't understand how large the US is
Our country is gigantic compared to most of yours. There is a wide range of climate and cultural differences from region to region. It would be like comparing the popularity of soccer from Finland to Spain.
If you mean the entirety of the US, soccer needs to take hold in the working class of the midwest and southeast and these places are both cultural dominated by a love of football to the point where soccer, by way of it not being a contact sport, is demeaned as being a 'sissy sport.' Americans see themselves as hard-working, blue-collar people. We understand that we have plenty of flaws but one thing in which we have a lot of national pride is our toughness and willingness to take risks.
Football, even with all of the concussion issues and concerns, will remain king in the US for at least another 25 years. I expect baseball will pick up a lot of its slack due to its traditional aspects, though soccer will gain a bit of popularity too from football's eventual slow decline. Just realize this shit is going to take decades. It'll probably be 2050 at least before soccer has an even respectable place in the national conversation.
I get what Burgers are saying.In my country there's plenty of Ameriboos around my age (late teen).They are obnoxious assholes who adore everything American,mind you most of the people here enjoy US stuff,like the movies and so,but there are some giant faggots who stepped over the line a long time ago.
I guess that you guys have yuroboos in America,the liberal assholes from Seattle who think that football/soccer in Europe is a part of the sophisticated culture.Well it's not,especially the more Eastern you go.

>>69321935
>the liberal assholes from Seattle who think that football/soccer in Europe is a part of the sophisticated culture.

hipsters have a disease called contrarianism
they see bone-headed mainstream america, see that its favorite sport is football, and want to go in the opposite direction, so they adopted soccer
somewhere along the way they decided that being a fan of soccer somehow made them sophisticated, because anything the mainstream doesn't participate in=sophistication, in their deluded, post-modern mentality - it's all the after-effects of capitalism robbing an entire generation of a sense of identity, so they have to latch on to external products to build an identity - everything is a piece of merchandise to be consumed, to mold the identity so they can figure out and establish who they are
and what they are are a bunch of log sawing faggots, who have ruined any chance america had at adding their own unique flair to soccer fandom

there are minor differences in rules and gameplay but nothing that drastically affects the two (i.e. NFL has a two minute warning but not NCAA)
the college football system essentially acts as a feeder for the NFL, but not everyone gets drafted and not everyone chooses to enter the draft
well, that, and college players don't get paid, but many get a free ride plus benefits. considering how much it costs to attend school here, that is a decent payment in itself imo, especially if the player is from out of state
>>69314458
It already is. Soccer is the fastest growing sport in the USA and the MLS viewership is on a upward trend. Clubs like Seattle, Toronto, and SKC always have huge attendance records too. When the MLS finally gets rid of its too strict finically rules, we'll be a top 5 league.

Also copying the "hooligan" culture and attempting to apply that to our league is embarrassing.

The potential is certainly there, but people wont really start to get serious about it until the US is capable of consistently beating talented teams and that wont happen until the US starts funneling talent into the sport.
Until then, the support for the sport will just rise and fall like stocks.

And citing the viewing habits of kids ages 6-17 is retarded. At the age, you're most likely playing sports than watching them. Kids are too impatient to sit down and watch any sport for an extended period of time.

baseball isn't dying. millenial hipsters want it to die but that doesn't mean it will.

football is a GOAT sport for casual fags
your team only plays 16 games so most people can watch every single one instead of missing out of 3/4ths of the season

only rich fags can play hockey and football is always for poorfags

basedball is nice since you can just buy $8 bleacher seats then move up after the normies leave in the 8th inning

College football and pro football are two different sports with different rules.

Yea but is something ive seen comedians talk about.
Huge parties where everybody pretends to watch the game but are just chatting and drinking all the time and the poor irish dude couldnt watch the game in peace.

>Two differenti sports
Yeah right, like NBA and FIBA basketball or NHL and International Hockey
So different
Baseball seems interesting, I have watched a few games just to see how it is and I liked it.
However it needs to fix all that time the players spend spitting and walking around though.

most baseball players are superstitious and they have to go through a routine before they throw a pitch or get ready to hit. i think it's dumb, i never did any of that shit when i played and i was a decent batter.

Yes, I noticed that players tend to be meticulous.
The actual plays have a lot of fun, autistic strategizing with the strikes, balls, etc. and then the runs with base-stealing and possibility of double play and the like.
But to get to those very fun plays there are a lot of minutes where nothing happens and people just kinda move around and stare at each other.

Who cares fag, they're still different sports. There's also Canadian football which is even more different.

>You realize it will overtake basketball before it overtakes baseball, right?

The problem with this is that it only asks for one answer. For example, I much prefer NBA to MLB, but my favorite is NFL, so the fact that I like NBA more than MLB would be completely lost.

Funny, I thought they were all slightly different versions of gridiron football...
Hence the same fucking sport
