Why Do You Care?

We’ve all been asked why we love U.S. Soccer the way we do. Why we are so passionate about a sport we are not supposed to like; why we are so patriotic in a popular culture whose attitude toward patriotism can be described as uncomfortable indifference at best. Why we spend hundreds of dollars to travel the country, to travel abroad, to see a team regarded by much of the world as mediocre-and by some of our countrymen as downright awful. Why we enter a stadium full of our opponent’s fans, knowing we will be the target of curses and random projectiles and that we may be spat upon or assaulted.
Here is your answer.
We love U.S. Soccer because we love this country even if it is socially awkward to do so. We appreciate the freedom to find our own destiny, won by the blood of our forefathers; and a modern economy that makes that destiny exceptional. We support the representatives and defenders of this nation, be they soldiers who risk their lives or soccer players who display our nation’s colors to crowds of hostile foreigners. Players like Paul Caligiuri, Earnie Stewart, Tim Howard and Michael Bradley have worn the red, white and blue with pride, and so do we. We have taken it upon ourselves to ensure that no matter where the representatives of our nation and our game may walk, they will never walk alone.
We love U.S. Soccer because we, like the Americans who have made this country great, are endowed with a uniquely tenacious will to overcome adversity and the strong determination that no achievement is unreachable. This American determination has seen our Founding Fathers risk their lives to stand against tyranny, it has seen the Wright Brothers take to the skies, it has seen Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon and Martin Luther King, Jr. free a people; and it is strong in our hearts and minds as we stand and sing for our soccer team. It is because of this determination that we and the players of the United States Men’s National Soccer team love our game, and why we believe that the USA’s greatest days on the soccer pitch are soon to come. Call us foolish, call us naive, call us out of touch. We are still Americans and we still believe that nothing is impossible.
We love U.S. Soccer because we know that no matter how we follow our team, by car, RV or 737, we will find those who share our passion and our determination; those who will stand with us in the face of a hostile foreign crowd, and who won’t let us down if we are threatened. Whether the person next to me wears a suit to work or an apron is irrelevant, so long as he or she wears the colors of the United States on matchday. These are the people we want to see, the people with whom we wait for months to share a drink and raise our voice in song. For we know that these are the people who, like us, have been so inspired by the spirit and determination of our team in the face of adversity that they risk the bewilderment of their peers in its support.
This is why we love U.S. Soccer, and why we will continue to support our National Team. This is why there are more of us now than there were ten years ago, and why there will be more of us in ten year’s time. We dwell not on a disappointing past, but on today’s potential for a triumphant future. We do it for our team, for our country, and for each other. We are brothers, sisters, countrymen; we are the supporters of the United Sates Men’s National Soccer Team, and we are here to stay.
