I was obsessed with soccer growing up. I played it all day, everyday until
about 15 but still played on my high school team until my senior year. Still love to play.
Even with that, I’ve never watched soccer on TV. Such an incredibly slow and boring sport to watch.

The future of sports also depends on pricing. Copa America didn’t have a ton of fans because seats were so expensive

Another contributing factor will be lawsuits involving CTE, and rising insurance

Soccer is not immune to that. Especially women's soccer and youth soccer.

I love to hear this from someone who played. I can’t stand to watch it, in person or on tv.

Marginal post-pandemic recovery. Still down significantly since the early 10s.

After many years in decline this is true. And it went up 27 fans per game last year
