College basketball lives for a game scheduled on CBS or ESPN (highly recruited high school players are more likely to go to a team that regularly gets national television exposure), and I'd even go far enough to say that television coverage has dictated the pace and feel of American football. Anyone who has attended a live football game knows how commercial time-outs slow the game and sometimes, at its most exciting moments, disrupt the flow of events. There is no serious objection however because without television, football simply wouldn't remain in the homes and hearts of Americans. Also, without those advertising dollars, the teams couldn't afford the sky-high salaries of their high-priced superstars. Soccer, on the other hand, except for its half-time break, has no time-outs; it is constant run, run, run, back and forth, back and forth, relentlessly, with only a few seconds of relaxation when a goal is scored. In a game, it's always possible that no goal would be scored; therefore, no break will occur besides half time, and that leaves no time for the moneymaking commercials. The best that commercial television coverage can hope for is an injury time-out, and in soccer that happens only with disembowelment. .
Second, Americans love violence, and soccer doesn't deliver on that subject the way that American football and hockey do. There are brief moments, spurts of violence when a player might get a red card and be ejected from the game, but fans can't expect the full-time menu of bone-crushing butchery that American football and hockey can deliver minute after minute, game after game. In soccer, players are actually singled out and warned " shamed, with embarrassingly silly "yellow cards," for acts of violence that would be smiled at in most American sports other than tennis and golf. .
Third, it is just too difficult to score in soccer. America loves its football games with scores like 45 to 39, and a professional basketball game with scores below 100 is regarded as a defensive bore.
