The divide between Black Americans and Soccer [31min vid]

[BlackMajik]

Hmm this was interesting. I played soccer when I was little, I don't even really remember why I stopped

It's also interesting how Soccer in America has become an upper middle class sport. In countries like Brazil u can see them poor kids in those favelas playing and everything

What's y'alls opinion on this?

Yea that's how it was with me

At my elementary school we had a track, playground, bball court, and a separate soccer field. We used to do all that. Sometimes we played bball sometimes we played soccer

And then like u said around 6th grade we focused on bball and football

It's funny, in every other country it's a sport for the working class.

You look at the upcoming youth teams for some of these European countries and they're filled with blacks and arabs.

France

Netherlands

England (old picture but you get the point)

With England and France they have a lot blacks even in their senior teams.

Yea its completely flip flopped here

It's a middle class sport. In the video one guy says that it can cost parents like $900 just to play and I don't even think that covered traveling
