Soccer Trains Kansas City For Socialism??!

We'll start with a valid question . . .

Why aren't their any soccer wags in Kansas City???

The pro sport has been jammed down our throats for more than a decade and hotties simply aren't part of the equation . . .

From our vantage . . . It's mostly a game for chubby middle-class people who want to relive their youth but with the benefits of a middle-management job and the wisdom attained from a state college.

But I digress . . .

This post is really about KANSAS CITY WORLD CUP EXCITEMENT that seems like it's earned by way of drink coupons. 

Still . . . 

Mayor Q offered a glimpse at today's crowd watching the games with this caption . . .

Kansas City = Soccer City, USA

Meanwhile back in reality . . .

The crowd takes a great photo but it represents only a tiny of fraction of local fans who enjoy football, basketball & baseball.

In doing a tiny bit of research . . . 

We found a guide that might help soccer take hold . . . Here's the first step . . .

"What is needed is more of an “overseas” approach to the organization of a soccer league, featuring self-imposed limits on salaries, the building of soccer-specific stadiums, and a conception of league franchises as business partners as well as on-the-field competitors."

From that point, taxpayer subsidy and cultural street cred also become requirements. 

To be fair . . . American sports in general earn a great deal of welfare . . . So what we're really talking about is SHARING more taxpayer funds . . . 

And ALL OF THIS is far more fun than making sure trash gets picked up, funding police and filling potholes.

Soccer Has Been Historically Less Popular in the US. This Professor Knows Why.

Between 2012 and 2019, University of Virginia School of Law professor G. Edward White wrote three books on the relationship of law to American history, starting with the colonial years and ending with the close of the 20th century. The books, in White's words, were "long, dense and largely intended for scholarly audiences."
