I am a huge baseball fan-I love the players, I love the stories, I love the myths, and I know them like the back of my hand.
I know from reading the work of intelligent men like Nick Hornby that soccer has just as much lore, wisdom, and strategy as baseball-but it is seldom presented to Americans.
If ESPN showed Premier League soccer, every day, taking the time to dumb it down like the postseason announcers do in baseball, with maybe a highlights show or some documentaries in between, they could easily grow a US soccer audience.
But they'll never do it, because it wouldn't work right away, and they'd give up on it.

M$This is the main reason soccer will never make it here on TV, and if you can't make it on TV, then you can't make it. (Supposedly) If you can't inject commercials, you can't make money...
Oh... and without commercials you can't go to the bathroom. Us Yanks need to drain our collective bladders.

M$Yes! Hockey seemed to get into the problem of low scoring. The NHL recently changed some of the rules and rink... now scores are higher (and play faster). Makes for more interesting games IMHO.
