You always sound disingenuous so carry on.

Don't mean to. Just always like to get clear picture on folks views. I am always open to good suggestions or opinions. Don't have to agree. Just like well thought out ideas.

Soccer is already huge in the U.S.

MLS isn't huge, U.S. National Team isn't huge. But soccer fandom is huge here. It's just that a lot of people are rooting for foreign national teams (Mexico, Central American teams, England, Italy, Brazil) and following foreign leagues (England, Spain, Mexico and UEFA Champions League).
