i think the best points that were made were:
1. it's not a good betting sport... so true and once you think about it it makes sense. i have a ton of co-workers who only watch games they bet on. plus fantasy football, baseball and for a small part basketball have a ton of stats to follow. what stats are there in soccer besides. goals, assists, fake falls, grabbing your knee in pain, and whine to the official.
2. it's not a very good tv sport like hockey. both hockey and soccer need to be seen live. the human eye does a much better job tracking back and forth between individual players and the whole field.
3. in high school it will never supplant basketball which is during the same season. it might have a better shot going against baseball in the spring, and you might see some basketball players go out for soccer.
