Message: [QUOTE="UConn990411, post: 4474026, member: 802"] Honestly, I really think people have been underselling soccer’s popularity in the U.S. for awhile now by comparing the MLS (which is doing well in its own right) against the other major sports leagues. To your point, the MLS is more like pro European basketball leagues while the EPL is like the NBA. It seems like the survey is factoring in the EPL as part of this comparison (as it should), and that league’s popularity has been taking off in the states for about a decade now. I’d be curious to see the demographics breakdown of that study, but it wouldn’t shock me to see soccer fly past baseball in the next 10-20 years. [/QUOTE]
