Like I said...Giving it to people who rip on America and think Europe is better is fun, and well deserved

Out of curiosity, have you ever spent time in Europe?

Ripping on your idea of how America should be doesn't = "ripping on America". You should take my comments as an attack on your opinions rather than our country.

Scotland is wonderful for sheep!

If by not true at all you mean 100% correct, I agree.

I've lived outside the US. I can assure you that other countries have many other sports than soccer.

Profitable big time spectator sports though?

Depends on what you mean by big time. Soccer is the only one that's bigger than the main American sports, but of the advanced wealthy nations, America is the only one with a huge population. European countries are smaller so their domestic leagues in other sports aren't as big. Nor are the sports owned by advertising to the same extent. But mega TV money isn't what makes a sport good. I'd rather watch rugby than baseball any day despite it having probably less than 10% of the revenue.
