  1. Yes, let's all not support the real Football. It's a world wide sport and it deserves to be known in the USA. If you try to take it away from us, you're taking away a dream, a passion. And I would say the same for every sport. And there are millions that want to see Football grow in the US and they want to see us win championships, and even the World Cup. It may not be your favorite sport, but it's millions if not billions of other's favorite sport.

  2. A very interesting angle, but misses a TON of soccer culture in NYC, specifically with NYCFC. Ep. was moreso just mixing art with soccer, which is cool, but has next to nothing to do with NYCFC or NYC soccer culture whatsoever.

  3. Soccer is a shortened word for Association. In Britain we had Rugger, which referred to Rugby football, so they wanted one for Association football. They couldn't call is Asser because that sounded shit so they used the next part of the word and came up with Soccer which still sounds shit but they used it anyway.

  4. Can you imagine a gridiron Caleb Carr (or even more outrageously, a NASCAR Caleb Carr)? Football around the world is a working man's game, a game of the masses. Soccer in this country is young millennial urbanite nerds (which I myself am one) who are trying to connect our American experience to a larger culture outside of just our own.

  5. Beautiful work! Our passion for the game takes many forms and should not live and die making a squad or on a world cup. Create and inspire. Love, love, love this series.

  6. No. All you'll end up getting is a bunch of hipster D-bags. Soccer is a working class sport for the common man, and is a relief to the struggles of everyday life. Unless you support the DC or New England.
