Growth in immigrant communities seen fostering love for soccer in US
PORT CHESTER, N.Y. (CNS) -- Before and during the 2010 World Cup games being played in South Africa until July 11, there have been numerous articles and editorials in the American press about what has traditionally been a lack of interest in the World Cup in the United States. These sentiments were boldly expressed in a May 6 article in The New York Times headlined "Most Popular Soccer Team in the U.S.: Mexico?" It detailed the successes of the Mexican national team and the pride Mexicans in the United States have for that team. But what seems missing in a lot of the coverage is how the growth of this country's immigrant population may be responsible for a growing U.S. interest in the sport, because immigrants are bringing with them their passion for their national sport. Not to mention that many of these immigrants also are bringing their Catholic faith to their new home. Many come from predominantly Catholic countries, such as Latin American nations, and account for much of the recent growth of the U.S. Catholic Church.
