Absolutely. Views that people in the States don't care about soccer are usually from ignorant and arrogant people, which is a bad combination to have. But the funny thing is, it really doesn't matter anymore, they can keep on hating. Soccer now has a strong foothold in America and is the only sport growing in the midst of an economic depression. Look at the World Cup viewing numbers. Out performed the deciding game of the NBA finals.
I don't pay attention anymore to those types, we simply don't need them. They can keep on hating, for the haters have now become the minority.
