They're not going to let their popularity slide out from under them.
It goes both ways. American sports will never fully penetrate Europe because, minus culture, the media networks will never even get them a chance.

basketball is popular, but not THAT popular. iv traveled the world and most people dont seem to really care about basketball. maybe casual fans..
Man your thought process is *@!$%% up. Soccer isn't all of a sudden going to become anything. The sport has been seeing steady growth sincethe 80's, it saw a boom in the early 90's, experienced a stagnent period in the late 90's, saw another boom in the early 2000's and hascontinued to grow at a tremendous pace since. Soccer hasn't slowly been developing since the 1900's at a constant rate, even discussing the sportsgrowth in the country prior to the late 70's isn't even worth it.Originally Posted by LilStarZ07
because its very very very very very unlikely that a sport thats been around for god knows how long all of a sudden becomes main stream piping hot in the US ... if it hasnt happened by now, what makes you think it will happen in our lifetime? theres just no room for it ... now, if the US continues to become populated with more and more europeans and such, then maybe ... but that wont happen for hundreds of years
nah its not crap. its real. face it american sports arent anymore popular abroad than than foreign sports are here...Originally Posted by Xtapolapacetl

I can tell you right now that the list you posted is pure horse @%$+.
Basketball is WILDLY popular in China, with is THE most populated country on earth. It's hard to tell whether soccer or basketball is the most popular sport in China, but whichever of the two is #2, it's not far behind #1. In Europe, overall, basketball is easily the second most popular team sport. In northern Europe it's not that big, but in southern Europe it's huge.

What about the growing influence of Latin-American countries? Texas and California are already Minority-majority states and NY is next.

Some brought it up before but what do you think of ESPN losing the rights to Champions League to FOX Soccer Channel? I hear that they will broadcast one of the games on their and some on local regional sports networks and FX since FSC is a premium channel.
mikey, i wish you all the best man, it's tough out there in this economy.
