Can 'soccer' survive in America?

Can 'soccer' survive in America? | The Business of Sports Management | Scoop.it
Major League Soccer needs to boost its quality and popularity to be taken more seriously, says BBC Sport's Matt Slater
Daniel Toth's curator insight, November 11, 2013 4:38 PM

1. I learned that the MLS is gaining popuilarity throughout the US. I always assumed that the MLS was considered to be a low ranked league, but I was wrong. Being ranked the 7th best league in the world by a London magazine is a big deal. Also, I learned that the MLS wasnt the first soccer league in America, but that the North American Soccer LEague was previously the longest running league from 1968- 1984. This suprised me because I played soccer my whole life, and played high school and club soccer, and never once have i heard of this league. 

2. Information I found interesting was Robbie Kien earns a third of the LA Galaxy's salary. Also, the minumum wage in the MLS is almost $5,000 lower than the English Premieir League. And that the MLS came in third for fans attending games, behind the NFL and MLB.

3. I selected this article beacuse I have been playing soccer since kindergarden and have competed at all sorts of levels of competition in soccer. Plus, I would like to see soccer get bigger in the US, so this article caught my eye. 

4. This information will help me in the sport management industry by showing me that soccer is a growing sport, and with a growing industry, there will be jobs available within the next couple of years. This article makes me realize that there is hope in an league that is seen to be dying  in the US, and that it has the potential to grow into one of the major sports in the country. It also helps by showing me that with the right management, a sport has the chance to grow into a major source of income.
