This was off last week's broadcast and I wanted to bring it up. for those of you who don't know PTI is a sports show on ESPN. In a section about the Galaxy's first win, Tony Kornheiser (pictured below) said "you want people to watch soccer, give them pads helmets and let them hit each other, then people will watch soccer". This is why I think that younger generations will appreciate soccer and ultimately the MLS will grow. You have to remember Tony Kornheiser grew up in the time where (american) Football was very dominant. Idk this is the clear difference I see from younger generations and older generations. any thoughts?  |

hes old school and an idiot for trashing a sport he doesn't understand, let it go Soccer Fans. Unlike Footall & the NFL atleast your everyday middle class american can still afford to see a FEW, let me repeat myself a FEW games a year compaired to how much it cost to see an NFL game. Let me give you an example.
Cost to see 1 Dynamo Game: roughly 60-75 dollars (2 tickets, gas and parking)
Cost to see 1 Texans Game: between 175-250 dollars (2 tickets, gas, parking)
