Unfortunately, as soccer is becoming more popular in terms of actual play, TV ratings have gone down the last couple years, much like most sports on TV.
I honestly think soccer "had" it's chance to become a mainstream sport, and instead of trying to appeal to everyone, they tried their hardest to appeal to kids, which makes sense, but adults who never grew up playing it never could get into it, and most of them probably influenced their kids not to play it based on the little info they know on the game.
Many a Jim Rome clone told that testimonial.
I think we should just put MLS with Major League Lacrosse and the Arena Football League. Unfortunately, as MLS television has increased, football coverage abroad has gone WAY down.
