  5. Also, pretty much every sport you play at a super competitive level is year-round. This doesn’t allow for kids to play multiple sports at that high level. We are seeing more 1 sport athletes than ever before. This is hurting football a ton because it is not a “mainstream” sport in America. People say it’s boring, “they just pass back and forth”, “soccer is for pussies”, “soccer isn’t a real sport”, etc. I have heard it all. This discourages some kids from playing & they switch to another sport full time. They might be good at football/soccer, but their parents don’t like watching it, so they encourage them to do something else. Nothing against my dad, but he never offered to pass the football/soccer ball around. He always wanted me to play catch or shoot baskets. Most American parents are like that. Football isn’t in our culture. It will never be in our culture. My rant about football in America is over
  6. There is a decent amount of football fans. There is a large Middle Eastern presence near Detroit which helps with that. The main issue is we don’t have a MLS team. Our best team in the Detroit area is Detroit City FC (4th tier I believe). The one match I went to was at Comerica Park (MLB stadium) between Roma & PSG. There was close to 40,000 people there which is close to selling out. There is definitely a passion for football here, but American football, baseball, basketball & hockey are still the top 4 by far. If we did have a MLS team, we could draw decent crowds, but over time I think the passion would start to die. I would love a MLS team, but they would be better off in other cities. When I drive through the city & parks I don’t see anything but basketball courts. Football is just not part of American culture like it is in SA & Europe. Pay to play is another issue in football, but that is with every sport pretty much.

  10. I feel like Hockey is hit or miss. Either you like it or you don’t. There are some diehards, but not many “casual sports fans” will watch hockey. It is popular in certain cities, but I have noticed that interest around Detroit has gone down. Fans aren’t filling the seats like they used to at Joe Louis. The atmosphere isn’t the same in “Hockeytown” anymore. The game I attended Joe Louis might have been the best sports experience I have ever had. Crowd was wild & into the game. The Wings were average that year as well. Now, the atmosphere is dead at the new arena. The venue is pretty much half empty at every game.

  13. 3 out of the 5 power conferences are playing (SEC, ACC & Big 12). The other two (Big Ten & PAC 12) are not. The Big Ten is considering starting in November, but they have no plan in place at this point.
