Boy, oh boy. American’s have an interesting relationship with soccer. For decades, soccer has held an unyielding grip on, well, every other country in the world. Though there have been the exceptional fanatic interspersed, soccer has largely remained relegated to a kid’s sport. Yes, most children play soccer. No, most adults couldn’t name 4 teams. Until 2014. (See my previous post这里。）
2010年世界杯，在南非举行期间，美国的34％观看过至少一场比赛的某些部分。我们没有看太多。（资源），但在2014年？我们准备好了。我们很多人的注视下，我们看了很多的比赛。百分之三十九的我们更多的人观看了33％以上。（资源）
为什么是soccer’s time “now” in America? One theory is that all those kids who grew up playing soccer, are now adults and are putting their time and money where their hearts have always been.

当美国带队的负责调查国际足联内部，足球的全球管理机构的腐败，它提出了一些眉毛。为什么是美国getting involved was asked by several people, but with varying tone. ‘You don’t even like soccer’ on one side, and ‘finally but how come someone who cared more didn’t step up a long time ago’ from the other. The most frustrating response, in my opinion — as an American who likes soccer — was from Russian president Putin who said we were once again meddling in world affairs which were not our concern and somehow tried to get Edward Snowden involved. (资源)这是我读过expressin独家声明g this (paranoid?) opinion; let’s leave it alone. Other voices from around the wold have been more supportive, includingthisBBC的文章。
Obviously, no one at the DOJ consulted me when they planned this action, but there are several reasons which make it easy to understand how/why we chose to act when others did not. We like a fair fight. We aren’t afraid to say no or ask tough questions, even if we have to ask them of our friends. We don’t like being taken advantage of. And, perhaps most importantly, we can sometimes see things differently because we don’t have years of “just accepting it” like many other countries.
