Why Vince didn't invest in football (soccer) instead of american football that already has a big and sucessfull league like the NFL?
Football has much more potential if USMNT could compete with the top dogs of the sport. Americans want to see their country beat every other country. They could also negociate a place in Copa Libertadores or even UEFA for american teams...
Because he's a stupid old dumb white republican cuck? He literally spent like $60 million for his wifes senate campaign which she lost. Just another know nothing who inherited his fathers business and lucked into everything. Don't expect him to make any actual smart business decisions. He already failed once at Football.
It's not AMERICAN™.
Because no one here gives a shit about povertyball, you retarded mongrel.
>hmmm let me invest in something I know nothing about
He wants a sport that he can improve and make attractive to the WWE type of fan. You can't really do much with soccer.
Factually incorrect and also you can create a market.
Lmao when he was asked in the press conference in the original announcement about who his fav football players were he said Wahoo McDaniel and Ernie Ladd
>a leaf who likes soccer
you only exist because America allows it, the whole world knows it and liking some yuro sport doesn't impress them at all
it's a joke you retards, Bruce Prichard has confirmed he's a diehard DC Redskin fan

art is used to traffic children who are used for ritual murders and cannibalism. art gets a special flight exemption and obviously can move lots of money
Will people still be annoyed enough by black guys kneeling to make this worth it in two years time?
Vince McMahon may be an asshole but he certainly didn't inherit anything. His rise to prominence is actually very inspiring.
Soccer's fucking gay
Divegrass is done for
It will never be popular after the men failed to qualify for the world cup
>being this autistic
Soccer is gay and its fanbase is flavor of the month soymales who will move onto the next trend
people have been mad for the past 2 years and every season it seems to get worse. people arent annoyed right now because the season is over. if Roger Goodell is still commissioner and still lets his employees make political statements on the field, which is likely why football game attendance and cable viewing is down, then i see people who still like football but dont like the idea of the players disrespecting them during the game, to view an alternative where political pandering will be banned on the field. plus the seasons are gonna start in january, after the NFL season is already over but before college football starts, so its an empty market during those months.
samefag shill is obvious....baka
The intended appeal of the XFL is to make rule changes that supposedly cater to football fans' demands and address growing controversy and dissatisfaction with the NFL. If McMahon started an Xtreme Soccer League, there's no way in hell it would adhere to FIFA regulations which means the league would be DOA and the teams would be ineligible to play on the international scale. It would be an even more misguided blunder than the original XFL.
If you're asking why McMahon didn't just pump money into MLS, youth development, and the USMNT, it's because like most Americans, he probably doesn't give much of a fuck about soccer and has no interest in supporting it when he could start his own league in the top spectator sport in the USA.
To be sure, the only time Americans actually do care about soccer is when the USMNT is playing in the World Cup or Olympics, but McMahon clearly has no interest in investing in it. A shame we didn't make it into this tournament. Every World Cup, the US usually performs better than expected and interest in MLS and the Euro Leagues spikes here.
Soccer only works with the rules of FIFA, theres no chance he could avoid playing alongside with FIFA. Vince could try to bring big names to America, tahat still perfome on the top level, to increase interest in the league.
In terms of potencial, soccer is by far the best sport to invest into. Americans would love to compete with Brasil, Argentina and all the top european countries. American football is limited within USA, which is a big flaw... Soccer is the national sport of, like, 90% of countries and winning the world cup is the greatest sporting achievement in the World.
Americans don't even care how American Football teams do on an international level. Americans treat the World Cup like people treat the olympics. It's fun to watch representatives of your country compete, but outside of the olympics who actually watches competitive swimming, skiing, figure skating, volleyball, wrestling, fencing, and olympic field sports?
Don't get me wrong, I like that American soccer is on the upswing here and I'd love to see it be a prominent, respected part of the international soccer world. But Vince isn't the guy to do it.
because soccer sucks and is for european faggots
>Americans would love to compete with Brasil, Argentina and all the top european countries.
Says fucking who?
>MLS in the UEFA
Why tho? It makes no geographical sense and our teams would get routinely BTFO by English, German, and Spanish teams.
I bet all you people that say this look like pic related
Who do you think you're fooling? Soymericans are fat and pampered.
Because this is so much better.
No matter how much the networks and Europoors try to force meme it, Americans do not care about soccer.
Also, Vince is trying to capitalize on the anti-Kaepernick conservative crowd.
>UEFA for american teams...
Dude, CONCACAF is headquartered in America. MLS jumping to a confederation on another continent for no basis other that "It's a """white""" country" would be such a shitshow.
>fail once so you should just give up
Yup, art = money laundering
>inherited his father's success
Nigger What?
Does that mean we're going to get the World Body Federation and ICO Pro back again?
>Also, Vince is trying to capitalize on the anti-Kaepernick KKK-krowd
This. So fuck this new Sup Forumstard-catering """league""" which only seeks to divide us more.
>Soccer has much more potential in America than football
Heh. Do yuros actually believe this?
He inherited the WWF from his dad (who did the same thing with his granddad). He took out all the other wrestling territories Game of Thrones style all on his own but having New York, Boston, Philly, etc. made it much easier.
A bunch of pro soccer players live in my apt building actually. Nice guys but they all smoke weed and party all day. Not worth the trouble
They've been using the same narrative at least since the early-mid 90s
>Soccers growing guise
>Baseballs an old people dying sport
>Footballs dying(Everytime ratings slightly dip from all time highs)
Because casuals who don't care about sports as much and mushy brainlets tend to favor shit sports like soccer over say baseball and then as they get older switch over. Nobody hates soccer growing up and then suddenly becomes enamored with it in their 40s.
>2002
One bad call from being in a tie game to go to the world cup semifinals

Lose to tits and tatas and fail to qualify in a literal who group

My Little Soccer is the reason USMNT is so mediocre right now.
>Americans like being bad at sports.
>this retard again
>MUH SOY XDDD
i just want to take a break from this thread to tell everyone that i hate the retards who use this meme
even americans
thank you
A merger between MLS and Liga MX would fucking rule
>t. soyboy
No, dont water down our league with your mediocre gringo club of retirement grandpas and shitty murrilard players.
I for one welcome the return of our /asp/ overlords and am fucking hyped for vince to drop dimes with the xfl
it’s funny because you don’t have to have an argument or be correct
you can just call others the hilarious memephrase
No it would fucking not rule. It would be a bloated league where the MLS teams would get routinely blown the fuck out by MX teams.
The BEST American soccer can hope for is a merger of MLS and USL into a 3-tier pro-rel league with about as much consumer appeal as hockey, MAYBE baseball. Anyone that thinks soccer will ever get to the level of football or basketball in this country in our lifetime is dreaming.
And be not wrong in any case. Enjoy your soy meals.
>proving me right
No
It's the apathetic nature of American sports fans
Do you have soy in your diet, friend?
Do you visit reddit regularly?
>MAYBE baseball
>definitely not basketball
>dodgers sign a local tv contract worth a third of the nbas national tv contract
nice meme
>german “””banter”””
embarassing post
Good answer.
soccer is for women and children
you have to go back
start with liga mx as div1 and mls as div2 and allow for the natural western hemisphere process of mestizaje over the years
You can't even see your dick and you get tired just by going to the kitchen.
>he certainly didn't inherit anything.
Completely wrong
Youre thinking about Trump
You dont get what the XFL is, its prowrestling mixed with football, crazy slams and shit included
You can't merge two countries with wildly different economies like that, hell even the US/Canada has major issues with that at times in the NHL.
>spend the past two years intentionally dividing people in your monopoly to enforce your agenda
>an alternative is formed to break your monopoly
>"uggghh fuck this thing its just seeking to divide us more Dx"
suck it you petty tyrant
>Why Vince didn't invest in football (soccer) instead of american football that already has a big and sucessfull league like the NFL?
Americans care a lot more about football, basketball, and baseball than they do about soccer. College football and basketball is more popular than soccer. So popularity is probably one reason he went with football.
The other reason probably is that he is capitalizing on the current dissatisfaction with the NFL (as others have mentioned ITT).
The most important reason...he has a close friend in the White House. Vince will get regulations removed and tax breaks to go his way. And the Commander-in-chief will be his biggest promoter.
Plus he has done it before so there is a good chance he won't repeat any mistakes he made. I don't think it is going to work. Interest in football was declining, despite the kneeling. This league isn't going to change the fear of CTE. It will be interesting to watch because it will be so political. The threads on Sup Forums will be a fun-posting cornucopia.
The fact that it still pisses thin-skinned people like you off means it's not going to fade away and die anytime soon.
Trump is orange not white lol you stuped alt right fedora
>Muh division
This is always code from leftists and "moderates" that we're not doing what you want
Because going from mandrama to jogtie in the US is a lateral move that's why. WWE and MLS bring in the same amount of money lol
Not anymore, my out of touch friend. Announcement stated clearly that none of that would be the case in this new relaunch. It's proper football now
>Why Vince didn't invest in football (soccer) instead of american football that already has a big and sucessfull league like the NFL?
because the only big and successful pro gridiron football is the nfl
you get cut from the nfl you go play in the cfl, some guys only make 3k canadian per game, there was a scandal recently when a team had a unofficial practice squad of 100 guys who weren't even getting paid, just room and board with the chance of making it
manziel is arguing for a 500k contract
instead there's 100 soccer leagues, many of them paying more
That can't be right. WWE probably makes more than MLS from merchandising alone.
Because white Americans are cucks and like to watch sports dominated by big strong black men
I'm going to be completely honest with you, I don't think it's out of the question for that to still happen in the future, IF (and that's a big if) the XFL ends up being successful. Vince started a brand new company for the XFL, but the stated purpose of Alpha Entertainment or whatever it's called is "to explore investment opportunities across the sports and entertainment arena."
If the XFL ends up being a success and Vince and his crew are starting to take in more money, there is nothing in my mind that would prevent them, especially with a man as cocksure as Vince at the helm, to expand into other sports as well, including soccer. Other potential future opportunities include ice hockey teams or leagues (because Vince will die if he doesn't cuck Bret Hart every 10 years at max).
>soccer only works with the rules of FIFA
Tell that to the NCAA.
It's out of the question, because Vince doesn't care about soccer and his main demo (the American sports and WWE crowd) think soccer is fucking gay. Any sort of X-treme Soccer League he'd try to make would be a joke. What demo would that even be for?
small white penis
Shit, an XFL version of soccer would actually be amazing. Could you imagine divegrass without the diving? Take away the pansiness and soccer might be a decent sport
>What demo would that even be for
The one that he makes money off of. For all this talk of political pandering (and not unfounded, because we all know of the special relationship between the McMahons and President Trump), Vince is still just a carny ringmaster deep down, and that's all he'll ever be. It's the way he was born and raised, and he's dyed in the wool. If he thinks there would be a way for him to make money off of it (by marketing to the young demographic and perhaps trying to speed up the game of soccer to be more at the pace of basketball or hockey), he'll do it.
The perception in the United States is that futbol (soccer) is a sport for women and latinos who only play it because they are too small and weak to play real sports.
>The one that he makes money off of.
Which would be...? I get what XFL is going for. He's capitalizing off of increasing dissatisfaction with the NFL. MLS isn't going through the same thing. There isn't any outcry from American soccer fans to deviate from FIFA rules. So it's unlikely a bro-ified non-FIFA soccer league would gain much traction from American soccer fans. At least MLS fans could chase the carrot of their team making it to some CONCACAF cup. And any sport fans that think soccer is too "pussified" would already be watching XFL and still think soccer is gay as fuck.
McMahon's XFL decision makes sense in this current climate. Any climate where an XSL would make sense is inconceivable.
in the future, will people ridicule tom brady for never winning an xfl title?
>Latinos are too small and weak to play real sports
What is baseball?
Literally no one gives a fuck about soccer here. How hard is that to understand?
Everyone will say, "He was good in the NFL, but he never would have cut it in "reimagined football" era."
>americuck calling anyone a mongrel
It would only contain Mexican clubs since the american clubs would be rotting in Ascenso
