The USMNT not qualifying has set us back an entire generation. The pay-to-play youth structure set up in the US is also a big barrier holding us back

Football is the most popular sport in every single country in the world. Except in the US, where they call it "soccer". What does that tell us about the US?
-
So you think if they called it Football it would make it more attractive to kids? That can’t be your point, surely?!
-
A football by any other name would be as round, as Shakespeare said. Except in the US of course. I was just joking. We do a ton of different sports, you do a ton of different sports, we're all happy.

Ahh, apologies, with you now.

It has became a very expensive sport for low-income families.
-
why is that? It does recquire less equipment than Baseball or Football

Pay fees to the club, traveling to other cities, weekend tournament sometimes hotel, uniforms...

because it becomes very expensive and too much bullshit!!!!

But it shouldn't be. Majority of football players come from poor, working class or (at best) lower middle class. Just look at brazilian players or Luka Modrić. When I was a kid, all we need to play was a ball and goalposts we made from sticks, backpacks or hoodies.

Football is all about love, passion. That's all you need. I still haven't bought a single pair of football shoes but I still play football.

The expense (club membership)of soccer is high especially with multiple kids playing. Practices at times that conflict with parent working schedules. If you are a single parent it’s hard.

Year around soccer = burnout and no time for other sports - Kids want and should be able to play multiple sports - when will the “powers that be” figure it out?!?!
