to mention a few.

1) Soccer is not an American Sport
What country does it belong to? Since Baseball is an American sport does that mean that they aren't allowed to play Baseball in Japan or Latin America?
Soccer originated in England.
2) Americans are not the #1 at it
We would be if all of our best athletes played soccer as their number one sport like most kids in other countries do
3) Is not a fast-pace - High Scoring game (Baseball is another story)
4) Cultural (Baseball is an american sport so that is why american deals with how boring it is)
5) The league is a joke
6) The MLS Salaries are a joke
7) Not TV Coverage (I see more poker and Bowling in ESPN that Soccer)
FOX Soccer, Fox Soccer Plus (if you have FIOS) and GOL! TV carry Soccer constantly
8 ) Still an Elite Sport (Too much Money parents are paying) ??Any Academy/Select Sport is expensive more so than soccer..(see gymnastics, hockey, baseball)
9) American are driven by "The Next" Michael Jordan - The Next Dan Marino - The Next Pete Sampras.. The kids have no one to wanna-be-like (Donovan? - Freddy Adu?) ?? That depends on the household, my DD has American and International soccer players she admires, of course we promote that as parents.

10) Did I said Americans are not the #1 in the world in this sport?

Those are a few that it came to my mind... You are welcome to add or take out some!

You still didn't explain why you like flops
