Without question, the worst Bill Simmons article ever.

He is pointing out a reason why soccer does not take off in the states, not belittling soccer or the MLS for failing to do so.

FWIW, I don't want to get in a soccer debate. Its been done before.

However, when I read comments like that from Simmons, someone who makes his money off of being the "sports guy" and the "common man", it makes me realize that Simmons is no different than most Sports "journalist". He doesn't really have a clue about anything, he just writes his opinion.
