People in the U.S. are crazy about lazy 10 second action sports like american football and baseball. The MLS is getting much less than it would want in popularity and profit. This is why americans just are not into soccer. You can't make someone do what they don't want to do.

My small soccer squad of kids under 16 is full of new kids that have barely ever played soccer. That's how you increase interest in soccer. By informing kids yourself, not posting summarys of profits of each MLS game on ESPN. I doubt bringing David Beckham to Hollywood will popularize the sport. It just makes it more interesting to people who like the sport already.

My U-16 team is far better than it was at the beginning of the season. It shows progress for the  growth of the passion of the game. Freddy Adu is heading for somewhere in Europe and we are left to look for another "face" of the league. It is good for the MLS to have Beckham, but it just seemed sad to me watching it all over the news. I just needed to get that all off my chest.

Please I except all comments on my point of view.
