That American Sport

When one thinks about American sports, painted faces, bullhorns, football, baseball, basketball, and hockey come to mind. But there is one sport missing from this group - Soccer. Soccer is arguably the most American sport of them all. Soccer encapsulates the diversity and unique nature that makes the United States so great.

With the American league growing and thriving and top international players like Thierry Henry, Obafemi Martins, Robbie Keane, Landon Donovan, and Clint Dempsey (and formerly superstar David Beckham) calling Major League Soccer home, the league is a force to be reckoned with. Fans come out in droves to support their team, and make for a unique experience unlike anything the NBA, MLB, NHL, or NFL have to offer.

 

If you have yet to see an American Soccer match, you are missing out. The environment is absolutely electrifying and contagious. There is absolutely nothing like it, and that very well may be the reason why the other professional sports leagues have taken notice and upped their game. The Beautiful Game has taken America by storm.
