Do they spend less money because they have less games or do they have less games because they spend less money?

There are certain truisms that somehow never become true. In the last 50 years, three of them are:

Brazil is the next emerging world economy
"I only want to look at it."
Soccer will replace American football.

My son played soccer 45 years ago. His generation grew up playing it, and yet, the attendance and tv viewership is only a small fraction of American football. If it ain't happened yet, I don't think it will.

It's not 45 years ago. College football is in the process of killing itself. Hispanics are popping out babies like crazy. US demographics are gonna be very different in 50 years. I stand by my opinion, and if in 50 years I'm wrong please come find me and put me down.

I hope that in 50 years I will know which one of us is right..... maybe in that parallel universe?

In 50 years they will say "in 50 years it will be a bigger sport than American football" and just repeat that every 50 years.

gladly! ;)

I think you will see more growth of american football in other parts of the world than you will see soccer here.

we are just beginning to bring the sport to other cultures and you can see the interest it is generating. we've had soccer here forever now, and have seen no real growth.

Boomer mentioned the Saudis investment in golf and whether it would extend to NCAA football.

I suspect the Saudis are more likley to invest in soccer than football.

They can own it while pulling athletes from football.

No real growth? You've got to be joking
