Even PCA knows not to post soccer threads in the “Pale Hose Talk” forum.

But does he NOW know how to speak to women without losing his temper?

I wouldn't walk across the street to watch one. If you grew up in small town America before the 90's, it was the big 3.

To be honest. This happens every World Cup year. Everyone asks the same question.

All you have to do is look at TV ratings and gross revenue between MLS and MLB.

TV Ratings

• MLB: For large broadcasts, around 2 million

• MLS: Hundreds of thousands

Gross Revenue

• MLS team makes roughly $80-85 million in revenue

• MLB team makes $377 million per team.

Revenue Per Game

• MLS: $4.1 million

• MLB: $4.5 million

The conclusion should be the same. Even at the optimal output, Soccer does not deliver the same revenue or ratings that baseball does.

What are mlb tv rankings in England France Germany Italy and Spain?

You have to consider also the massive crossover success of those five European leagues, in particular the EPL as well as best Spanish and French teams...it's not just a simple 1/1 comparison with MLS or even NHL.

And then there's also the tremendous success of US womens' teams and participation there as well.
