"But I think it's also hard to get into soccer here. I think purely on a time level on television as well because of the ad breaks. It's something to do with that as well. You can't show a complete soccer match here. Which I kind of find a bit of an odd thing"

About this Quote
This quote by Parminder Nagra suggests that it is difficult to enter into soccer in the United States due to the absence of television protection. She believes that the ad breaks interrupt the circulation of the video game, making it hard to watch a total match. This could be a contributing aspect to why soccer is not as popular in the US as it is in other countries. Nagra finds this to be an odd thing, as it could be a barrier to people entering the sport. It is possible that if more individuals had access to viewing complete matches, then soccer could become more popular in the United States.
"One has children in the expectation of dying before them. In fact, you want to make damn sure you die before them, just as you plant a tree or build a house knowing, hoping that it will outlive you. That's how the human species has done as well as it has"
