Oh, yeah--Buster, can't say I agree with your "talent and diversity" comment. Other countries are already catching up in Basketball, which is very popular world wide; we didn't win the International baseball thing last year; we didn't get the gold medal in Hockey. And the odds of us EVER winning a soccer world cup are slim to none. So we're the best at American Football. And guess what? Australia is best at Aussie rules Football. And Ireland is best at Irish rules. Etc.

So you don't like soccer, fine. But to say the sport's popularity is somehow due to lack of talent and diversity is just wrong.
