@Dolomike
Then how do you explain the many great Swedish and Finnish hockey players when there’s no good soccer team or players there?Probably because hopckey is more popular and more people play hockey so it makes alot more good high level players then soccer.

Soccer IS really boring but it’s not the only reason it’s not popular in the USA.Because if it was true Baseball wouldn’t be popular either.Nobody can argue that soccer and baseball are the 2 most boring sports ever.But oddly one is the most popular in the USA.It has to be a marketingt hing and the fact that USA has a bad soccer team and alot of americans need an amercian champion to like something(that’s why kickboxing isn’t popular)

Apparently, everyone who has posted messages on here has not taken an economics course. It is not a monopoly; it is an oligopoly (few companies have majority of the market share)

joe rogan is one of the reason ufc is ruinng mma, he is a biased piece of garbage , i dont know how many times i heard rogan spew garbage, just to hype a fight, he is part of the zuffa hype machine they force you to like a certin fighter and downplay others who are far superior, joe “the 40yr old loser” rogan is a clown, and is tantamount top a common whore… who is told what to say and who to hype, anyone who takes this guys advice on mmma is just a newbie idiot, his other world views are ok but mma he is wrong for, hes helping destroy it, so is “goldie” the corporate whore…just agrees with joe even when joes being a dick…” brought to you by….a dick in the ass”

Common sense I agree with a lot of what you said about soccer. One thing I would like to mention is despite all the flagrant crap that goes on in soccer, I think it’s around 1.6 billion times more exciting than baseball, which for some unfathomable reason is popular in the US.

i’m no lawyer, but i dont think the UFC is a monopoly. from what i’ve read, for a company to be a monopoly, they dont only have to be the only one (which the ufc isnt) or the best, they have to engage in monopolizing practices – A monopoly happens when a person or company is able to minimize competition by exercising control over their particular good or service. to my knowledge the ufc hasnt done this, and if they have it’ll hopefully come out in the investigation. Microsoft engaged in these monopolizing practices by only packaging other microsoft products with windows but the government stepped in and put a stop to that, unless the ufc is throwing their weight around to make it more difficult for other mma promotions to start up, i dont think they are actually a monopoly. cocacola did this too, they would threaten to stop using local bottling plants if those plants started bottling for smaller competitors which is illegal.

A lot of soccer fans here huh? Well let me tell you why soccer is not, and will never be a big sport in America. Because it sucks and it’s boring! Who wants to watch a game for 2 and a half hours and have the score be 0 to 0? Besides that, the referreing is ridiculous! They call offsides when it’s not, they don’t call it when it is, they don’t use technology like goal side cameras, etc. The way they call fouls or give cards is SO inconsistent, and the worse part of the whole game is the acting! OMG I broke my leg! Then they jump right back in the game! That is simply the worst part of the game, period! And would you like to laugh? Watch the Women’s World Cup! They dive and cry for penalties a LOT less then the men do! It’s ridiculous! Soccer could be a lot bigger in the U.S. and better in general if they would just make a few changes. Instant replay (including fouls, cards, offsides). If they catch you diving or if you’re hurt and get carried off on a stretcher, you should have to sit out for atleast 5 minutes (plus a yellow card for diving) period! Goal side cameras, and for god sakes, you should not be allowed to substitute a player if you’re winning in extra time! That is SO stupid! It could be a much better sport if they would just make changes, but then again so could boxing and college football. Playoffs anyone?
