Soccer not a sport?
The most watched, played and loved sport on the planet?
Only because it costs like 50 cents to field a soccer team and thousands to field any sort of tackle football team.
It's like how rice is the worlds most popular food. Not because everyone is out there looking at a surf and turf with a glass of Dom and saying "Nah I'll take the rice and water instead". But because it's what they can afford to have.
