Football, or "soccer" as you call it over there, is a huge sport almost everywhere in the world, but why not in the US?
While I am a rare Brazilian who doesn't care much about it, soccer is the sport with more viewers in the World and moves more money than any other. It is strange that US sports enterprises aren't involved in it but, on the other hand, knowing a little bit about how professional soccer is managed, this is actually meritorious for US enterprises.
By the way, Brazil is an important name in professional soccer, but the country has won more Olympic medals in sailing than in any other sport.
Lastly, to whoever wrote that "anyone can kick a ball", it is a lot easier to throw and catch a ball with your hands than without them.
