Book excerpt: The notion that Black people dont play soccer is obviously ludicrous, but misconceptions and stereotypes incorrectly label soccer as a predominately white suburban sport. People of African descent represent a growing percentage of the millions of Americas soccer players. However, soccers impact in the Black community lags far behind traditional American sports. The obvious question is why African-Americans view soccer so differently than Black people in other cultures and how it can change. The book discusses: The historical, economic and cultural reasons behind Black Americas apathy towards soccer; how media coverage and bias hinder soccers progress; the legacy of players of African descent who made soccer history; how grater participation by the Black community will benefit Major League Soccer and the US National Team, both economically and competitively
