Chapter Three: Enter the A&*hole

After receiving some encouraging words from a pro, I've doubled my efforts of late and have made great strides on Chapter Three. This includes introducing the story's first villain, a slimy old reporter.

But back to the soccer/football poll. I'm curious to hear people's thoughts on the matter (Dr. Z., I'm looking at you...among others).

Dr Z. is reading, but has spent the past couple of weeks packing boxing, with no time for internet, really. But he'll be back!

I can't think it's the hairdos. While hockey isn't much more popular than soccer in the states (I guess; no numbers to back it up), the hair is no less given to mulletishness.

The commonest explanation I've heard is American's lack of attention span, but given the absurd amount of downtime in American football, that seems as hard to believe as the hair theory.

There's a documentary out about a New York City soccer team that was briefly one of the most followed sports teams in the country before the phenomenon flamed out, but I haven't seen it.
