missing the point

[Read more letters about this article: Here]As an American who has traveled most of the world, lived in England and France, and who loves and enjoys all the cultures of the world, I resent the implication that I don't like soccer because of some cultural defect due to being American.
America is not a monolithic culture. Many people in the States like football (soccer), others don't.
There have been many good points here about improving American soccer. Most of them have some truth to them, i.e. living and breathing soccer, soccer being available to all classes, etc. I hope for the fan's sake, America's sake, and the world's sake that the States learns to engage "the story, rather than the outcome", as someone so eloquently wrote.
However, for me, it doesn't matter. Despite my love for the different things of the world, the people, the food, the ways , I find soccer to be just about the most boring game ever.
