I was going to bring this up yesterday when people started quoting Univision numbers.  The real argument and we could probably close this thread is "Is soccer becoming more popular among American white males?"  We know the univision numbers are way up.  That has to do with the influx of Hispanics in America.  But are more white males watching this game than before.  Very few over the age of 30.

We know based on the last Presidential election that white males are now the minority in this country. White males are fans of Football, Baseball, NASCAR, Basketball and Hockey (maybe not in that order but probably pretty close).  Soccer might rank sixth, but even then does it get better rankings than golf.  I can't speak of white females and how many of them are jumping on the bandwagon, but if it wasn't for the influx of hispanics, the World Cup numbers would only show a slight bump.  I would love to see some stats that prove otherwise but for now I'm still going to believe what others have argued as well.

Contrary to some people's popular belief, the Core four will still be the Core four.  Now once advertising dollars start shifting away from targeting American white males and towards hispanics, then we can have another conversation regarding where soccer ranks.

Black american males.  Does anyone want to guess how many of them are jumping on the soccer bandwagon.  I just don't see that happening in large numbers.
