AND it has been proven that countries that have either sport as a "national" sport are allways in the top ... And US have allways had their football, baseball and basket ....
quite so, most of the best athletes will not gravitate to soccer in the US
if they did, no one would be able to compete with a US squad
I realise that I have a past to break with--an accumulation of inertia, wrong, foolishness, rot, junk. A great need of clarification, of mindfulness, or rather, of no mind. A need to return to genuine practice, right effort. Need to push on the great doubt. Need for the spirit. Hang on to the clear light.
