Nothing is unimaginable for sure. But there is better chance of us going away via nuclear war than states seceding again.

Why do you love football so much?The thing about states, is that they're not actually a unified country. You're a collection of states. It's even in your name, the United States.
Look at the world. Look at history. Very, very, very few unified states exist today or have lasted long in the past. Having a decentralized country can be great, but it eventually gives people an "Us against them" mentality and a clash of loyalties, which in times of crisis will come through.
Only thing keeping such a huge geographical place in tact is a flag, some propaganda words ("freedom, liberty"),a fear of Russia and the desire to be the biggest/'best'.
Never in this thread have I said MLS will be the top football/soccer country in the world. I don't even think I believe that would happen. What I did say is sooner or later we will be poaching top world talent like other top leagues. Then this thread went to hell. I don't know why you keep thinking I said the U.S. are going to dominate world football/soccer.
A facetious question I won't answer.
I laugh when americans call 'soccer' communist because there are draws in soccer and in american sports they will play for hours after the scheduled finished in overtime to find a winner.
Isn't american sports more communist in their way of thinking with salary caps and drafts??
as opposed to football in europe where all of the rich clubs get ahead of everyone else?

A simple question that you can't answer. Don't bother mate I'm not interested in the answer anyway.
I don't think anyone in America call soccer a "commie" sport unless they are joking and playing the 'Merica role.
Was in the original article posted.....
whats the beckham rule?
is that like what we have in A-league where you are allowed to have one foreign player exempt from the salary cap?

Not true SoCal. Maybe not in Southern California. But it happens elsewhere. That bitch Ann Coulter wrote a column about it during the World Cup.
“I had a soccer game on TV in the bar in the Upper East Side, this guy reached over the counter and grabbed me by the throat and said: ‘You Commie fag, what the hell is this sport?’ But that was a long time ago now.”
"...but that was a long time ago."
Back in the day, or even 20 years ago sure some ignorant people would probably be saying that. But today, definitely not.
The point about football in Britain is that it is not just a sport people take to, like cricket or tennis or running long distances. It is inherent in the people. It is built into the urban psyche. It is not a phenomenon; it is an everyday matter. There is more eccentricity in deliberately disregarding it than in devoting a life to it. Its sudden withdrawal from the people would bring deeper disconsolation than to deprive them of television. The way we play the game, organise it and reward it reflects the kind of community we are.Why do you love football so much,Joe Clash ?
That's why I do. Why do you? - you seem to be a cynical sort.
