Track runner and the NFL

[John V]

No, sorry, it has nothing to do with cost of the game. It is what one is used to and taste. I find it boring too, but again, I was not raised in it. I also hate golf too, and that requires expensive equipment. ALL SPORTS especially at the pro level, take talent. Just say you don't like soccer. I get that.

I'm not referring to individual Americans regarding cost, rather to the world as a whole. You can literally tie rags up into a ball, mark off a patch of dirt, and play soccer. Hence it's worldwide popularity. It's what many people are "used to" because it's all they could afford growing up.
