Yes, I finally believe that soccer will become a major sport here in the good old USA, quite possibly bigger than any other sport.
Why? 1 hour on ESPN last night was dedicated to watching LeBron James say that he is going to play for the Miami Heat.
Pro sports here in the USA is no longer about sports and competition. It's about money. Not just money for the players, but for the owners, politicians, and other peripheral people.
The sad part of it all, for those of us who have to go to work today and pay taxes, is that pro sports in the USA is being subsidized with hundreds of millions of tax payer dollars, and enhanced by anti trust and monopoly exemptions.
Yee haw! Go LeBron!
