The Real Reason Soccer is Exploding in America

from The Midlife Guys · host The Midlife Guys

Baseball was supposed to be fading away. Soccer was never supposed to catch on in America. Yet both sports are attracting younger fans, filling stadiums with families, and gaining momentum while other leagues struggle with rising costs and ageing audiences. This week, we're exploring how older millennials and Gen Xers are driving this shift, from the explosion of youth sports in the 1980s and '90s to today's family-centred game-day experience.
