Also remember, many of US cared about the USA beating Spain, as a nation we might not have cared.
Take it how you want. That reason can't be brushed aside either.

Better arguments as if that point isn't a factor? Why people continue to dismiss race as an invalid argument is beyond me. But if you want to write it off as a weak argument, be my guest man.Originally Posted by bijald0331

I was just trying to come up with a lesser award than the Oscar's.Originally Posted by DCAllAmerican
Indirectly hit on the race issue. Not sure if that was a Freudian SlipOriginally Posted by PersiaFly
It's because the World Cup is exponentially bigger than any international basketball competition.
You'd feel a lot more pride if someone in your family won an Oscar than if they won a Source Award.

Cause Soccer is the world sport while we dominate in basketball...even if we lose in those FIBA tournaments, everyone knows America is the best at basketball. And plus there isn't a tournament for basketball like the World Cup that draws this much interest.

Especially since the Finals and Stanley Cup are both finished, there's no other sports, besides June baseball and the NBA Draft, to really steal the spotlight away.
