world cup fever?

Why doesn't the US go in for the World Cup? It is this huge event all over the world, and the US channels can't be bothered to broadcast the closing ceremonies of the World Cup. Luckily we have Univision.

What is a bummer about our lack of interest in the World Cup, is that it is a missed opportunity for the US to partake in an international, month-long conversation about a topic which is in large part about fun.
