Blog 19 (A)

This blog has a couple points I'd like to make, it is about the sport of Soccer (Futbol) and why it has never caught on to the extent that it has worldwide.

I believe that it is due to the fact that soccer plays to 45 minute running halves with no stoppage until half/end of the game. Its not the constant playing that turns people away from soccer, most people when they actually sit and watch a game or go to a game have a good time, I think the reason it is not popular is because due to the running time, there is less time for advertising.

In other countries, advertising is done on the players jerseys and around the perimeter of the pitch(field).

Do you think that soccer hasn't become popular in America because companies don't want to put money into a sport that doesn't really give them a large advertising advantage over competitors?
