i was watching on the news on every channel that a soccer player from the new england revolution got naked on a plane and started a riot.
Now i know that it was actually another guy and that the team was helping him...
weird...

Soccer is boring. So is polo, cricket and lacrosse and those aren't covered in the regular media either.

soccer is boring to someone who has the attention span of a rodent(majority america), lacrosse is amazing to watch its wicked intense, who cares about polo.
and its sick that my team in the MLS is the revs being from massachuttes that they did something that amazing.

The naked guy had nothing to do with the Revs. Because MLS players don't make as much money as other athletes, they have to fly economy. This guy tried to open an emergence exit (mid-flight) and the Revs players stopped the guy.

As for the media, I believe that soccer isn't popular because it is connected with Communism and those crazy socialist Europeans. It has nothing to do with being boring. Look at baseball. The majority of the time there is no motion. But baseball is the national pastime.
