One thing that bothers me is the "ign'ant," jingoistic blabber by some American commentators how soccer(football) is un-American and not worth watching and consideration as a professional sport.
It 's shows how self-absorbed we are. (An arrogance reflected in our politics and foreign policy.) I think an infusion of critical mass of African American athletes with proper coaching could do wonders for the sport in the U.S. We have some good young talent in the likes of DeMarcus Beasley,Eddie Johnson, and Freddie Adu(who needs to be in Europe!)but we need to have more outreach activites to a broader swatch of African American youth. The situation of the MSL is another ball of wax that I'm not competant t pontificate on.
