Soccer & American Exceptionalism

“DESPITE HEROIC EFFORTS of soccer moms, suburban liberals, and World Cup hype, soccer will never catch on as a big time sport in America. No game in which actually scoring goals is of such little importance could possibly occupy the attention of average Americans. Our country has yet to succumb to the nihilism, existentialism, and anomie that have

  • vertaken Europe. A game about

nothing, in which scoring is purely incidental, holds scant interest for Americans who still believe the world makes sense, that life has a larger meaning and structure, that being is not an end in itself, being qua being.” (Cannon and Lessner)

The Birth of the Cosmos

  • “Soccer is the one great

international sport and is America’s fastest growing

  • sport. […] It has crossed

more borders and broken down more barriers than any activity other than the very act of living itself”

  • “We wouldn’t ask you to

come to us until we’d come to you” – Clive Toye
