Why hasn't a black kid from the US taken over soccer yet?

[Colin X]

There are black people from other countries playing in the big name leagues on historic teams.

But none from America, NONE are even the face of a MLS team.

The biggest name in MLS is Dempsey or Donovan. Dempsey being the biggest player internationally. The biggest black player the US has is Altidore.

What is up with this? In high school I played but I was trash. I had no shot of anything.

I mean, pretty much every city or every city over has a rec soccer league, most high schools have one too. I've seen a lot of the black kids I played with just stopped playing. Why tho? I'm sure if wanted to, at least ONE could take over.

The money isn't there here in the states. If they can have an American league that is paying like the NBA or NFL black folks will play. Only reason that blacks stop boxing and playing baseball was the increase in salaries and exposure in the NFL and NBA. Plus the NFL began letting blacks play positions like safety, middle LB, OL and even QB. This really changed the game where more kids began to go to football and basketball.

But if a black dude from the US becomes one of the biggest names in the world and wants a huge contract they'll get it. Which would make it higher for those after him.

If a black kid really wanted to take over the game this would be the perfect time. With race at the forefront of things and people really starting to get into soccer for real here.

By what you're saying. The problem is money, but that problem won't be solved until someone someone comes through and changes it.

Of course fool money is a driving force with anything.
