very dumb post looking to be an idiot so here is an idiotic reply..... why doesn't the U.S. recruit all those illegal Mexicans that sneak over boarder to play soccer. That would help soccer in the U.S. become less white.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
Hopefully this post gets flagged soon! -

Massachusetts, and especially Metro-Boston, warehouses POC far away from the middle class population. Why would soccer be able to overcome what nothing else has for over a century?Comment

I think another post could be why is the NBA all black? How do we get more white players into the NBA? Seems to most that the NBA has way too many black players and needs more white players.Comment

are you suggesting we force minorities to play soccer even if they do not want to? That seems like a good plan. Mandate that all minorities have to play soccer in the U.S.. Boom easily done.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

are you saying we should tell white kids they can't play soccer anymore because there is too many? Do you have a percent that is fair for white kids that can play? How would we choose which white kids can play? Who should tell the white kids that they can't play because they are white?Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
Like another poster said can we do this for basketball as well? Not enough white kids play basketball and that's not fair.Comment

I'm for this person's idea!!!!! The men's national team has been pathetic forever! Please mandate that all minorities have to play soccer. That way the men's national team would have a much better chance every 4 years. Brilliant idea!Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

I would expect the number of coaches in the NBA or NFL (or college hoops or football) looked like the number of black players. Billy Donavan another failed white hope of a coach got another gig. Good enough to run and jump but not to manage and lead.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
lets (as a black man) hope they pool money, buy these team from the Kraft (getting his old dick stroked) and make changes. .....

They've ranked as high as #4 in the FIFA rankings as recently as 2006. Is #4 pathetic? Is 2006 forever ago?Comment

People just do not understand the cycles of international football. Italy went from a 06 WC winner, Euro finalist, to not making the world cup in 2018. Netherlands was finalist in World Cup 2010, didnt qualify in 2018. The idea that the same teams make it every year is crazy. Yes, concacaf qualifying is a joke and we should have made it but the reality is that it is very easy to get caught out on a bad streak or just have too much turnover and struggle to make it up, especially when while the issues are happening you can convince yourself that the worst case scenario is nigh on impossible to happen. Then two losses later you realize it has happened.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

- income and race are highly intertwined in the US. Soccer is an expensive sport to play in the US (pricey club soccer + all the travel) so only more well off families can afford it and they're more likely to be white. Although this is changing some, basketball and football is more affordable.
- High school basketball and football can still get kids noticed by colleges. In soccer you pretty much have to play club to get in front of a college coach.
- soccer isn't a popular sport with African American kids (Hispanic kids another story; for the it's about affordability). They, their friends and families follow basketball and football teams, not soccer teams. They admire top football and basketball players. They play pickup games with their friends.

Every club my children have played at above the town team (which is cheap) has had multiple kids on scholarships. Good players who make MLS academies are free to play by default. Non MLS teams all have kids there playing for extremely low cost or free as well. Travel is where things get tough for non MLS kids but make no mistake the kids who can play, are all playing.
On the girls side, money is a bit more of a factor when it comes to ECNL or GA teams.Comment
