""But the sports consultant Marc Ganis said soccer "is not a traditional U.S. sport and has not grown into that. There are many people who believe it never will."""

No Marc, it is a traditional sport. The US Open Cup is the 2nd oldest competition around after the FA Cup. There were pro soccer leagues around before your parents were a twinkle in your grandparent's eye. It's just that schmucks like you continually saying "it's not traditional" has embedded in peoples minds that it's not traditional.
