Soccer is the single greatest metaphor for human life on this planet. It's a battle, it's a war. It's the thrill of victory, the agony of defeat, or an exercise in futility. Just like all the parts of your life. Footylosopher takes the worldview of footy fans and applies it to social and historical events.

The Growth of Footy in America

It's been about 23 years since the proclamation that soccer has arrived in America and twenty one years since the birth of Major League Soccer.

This episode we talk to Shakara Robinson, a non soccer fan, about her awareness of soccer in America and how it's grown over the last couple of decades.

Has soccer reached the level of pervading the everyday lives of the gridiron fans? We know soccer has more action than the more popular American games, so what would it take to get a new fan interested?

Join us as we discuss personalities, marketing and lackluster media coverage of the beautiful game.
