    If he comes over then he'll be the exception to the rule. Soccer is the most popular in the world and you can even go play in Communist China and get paid millions. I can see a MLS or USL dropout going back to college football when they are bottom out. That happens all the time. The US academy system is honestly an embarrassment to sports in general. We develop athletes with the first touch skills of three toed sloths. Pay to Suck.

    Reminds me a little bit of Kickalicious -- some of his trick kicks really were very impressive (not that it would have correlated to success in the NFL, though he didn't get much of a shot with Detriot).

    Sure it's the most popular because shithole countries love it and watch it. NFL and MLB are still top dogs when it comes to making money. Don't believe me? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_professional_sports_leagues_by_revenue

    NFL
    MLB
    Premier League
    NBA

    LOL.

    Good. I'm glad. It makes up for the embarrassment of youth development soccer in this country. We are the short bus of technical futbol.

    That list is out of date but NFL will retain #1 status (TV deal for Premier League is $7.2bn without taking into account any other revenue).

    Not exactly sure what your idea of "shithole contries" are.

    This video shows his accuracy, his ability to miss a defender coming at him and his ability to take a shot.

    Surely if another sport is capable of providing kickers to the nfl, it's rugby?

    Where are all these "bad kickers in the league" you're talking about?

    FG accuracy rates have skyrocketed. The "Lou Groza" Award? Named after a big, straight-on style lug whose "50% ish" FG rate was the norm back in his day.

    In addition, a slew of rules regarding FGs and kickoffs (inc. moving the goal posts back) have been in response to a facet of the game that "took off" performance-wise: placekicking.
