Basketball and football are by far more popular in the US. In the 80s and 90s they faced an uphill battle but no reason the USSF shouldn't start to do more outreach now. The game has lost a ton of the stigma it once had and with the NFL's issues it could make inroads. The US Soccer community have kept the game hostage for the most part, it's been a suburban game for far too long. Hockey can be expensive with all the equipment but soccer isn't. The barriers for entry for many interested in the sport has been an issue.

Invest in cities and educate the public about the sport and where it can take them. You don't need massive fields. Could just be small futsal pitches. NYCFC has been trying to get those in the city more involved.

Basketball in the 80s and 90s was dominated by black stars like Jordan and Shaq. There was no uphill battle. African Americans naturally gravitate to sports which they do very well in. Soccer and baseball have as much of a barrier of entry as rep basketball and football. The only people who play soccer in the USA are immigrants and liberal cacs.
