It took 30 seconds. This discussion shouldn't be about whether or not a group of college athletes can play a game on a field (No pretentious American soccer fans. It isn't a pitch. Just like a baseball field isn't a diamond. Get over yourselves.) with a divot on it, it's just dirt and grass. It's just a sport played on a field. It's a bigger conversation than the field. The issue of why soccer players can handle the field producing a single bad bounce leads to the discussion of why soccer will always be a white suburban game for Americans. I don't know what the socioeconomic class that plays top level soccer in Europe is, but apparently the US tends to produce a player who can't handle a single piece of adversity thrown in front of him. If there is a group of Americans who cant handle adversity of any kind thrown in front of them, it is the suburban class. This is why we will continue to be the lower class of international soccer...forever. Throw that in your pitch and smoke it suburban soccer fan.
