Soccer missed me by a few years. As evident by my use of the term “soccer”.
I did hear an interesting podcast talking about the problem with American futbol (look!) being it’s reliance on high income families as the source of most of it’s players.
Poor kids (Hispanic, Black, Asian, Appalachian, or otherwise) don’t get the opportunities that lead to the national team.
I know nothing about this sport and find it boring as hell. I have zero investment.
But I thought I’d stir the pot and see what came to the surface.
Please describe how my 60 minute podcast didn’t nail this sucker shut.
