Well for example this years world series no one really cares about it cuz they wanted to see the 2 underdogs play and also in the last nba finals no one cared becuz of the 2 teams that were in it. But in soccer's last world cup im sure no one didnt wanna see 2 underdog teams in the world cup final becuz it would be a very disappointed world cup to most people. So why is this, becuz in soccer now matter whos in the final of a big tournament most of the people would care to watch but its different in american sports. Can anyone explain?
dude, first of all, try using the edit button.
as for this year's world series, nobody's interested in it because once again, it's the yankees. unless you're a yankees fan, everyone else is sick and tired of watching the yankees win year after year. most people wanted to see boston vs. chicago b/c those clubs not only have huge followings, but haven't been in the world series in so long. something like 95 years for the cubs. and just as long for the red sox, since they've won one.
for basketball, nobody cares about the finals because the west is so much better than the east. whether it's the lakers or spurs or kings or whoever, they're just better than the eastern teams. so the real "finals" are in the western conference finals.
and for the world cup, it's different because you're dealing with whole nations and countries. not just local professional teams. and soccer is the world's most popular sport. whoever was in the final, millions of people will probably watch regardless.
now..as far as your other 27 posts, i think it's retarded too how they call it the "world champions" and stuff. but, in reality the best basketball league and baseball leagues and american football leagues are in america. players from all over the world come to play here, not like soccer, where player flock to different top level leagues in several countries. so in a sense, they are the "world champions." as for college, top college sports are governed by the ncaa (national collegiate athletic association), and thus, they are national champions...since they're champions of colleges and universities in the nation/country.
and what the hell are you talking about americans hate soccer because they'll "never beat the world at their own game and be the realest of world champs"...first of all realest isn't a word. and THEIR OWN game? was soccer started or invented in america? i've already had this discussion with you. soccer is the number 1 or 2 most participated youth sport in the country. it's not as popular here as in europe or the rest of the world, because of the much more mainstream exposure to other sports.
and you know what? you always make threads like these just to show your spitefulness about "the american way" or how much you hate things here in america. what, did you run out of complaints about the mls? know your facts. fall back nucca. one.
