You’re falling into the trap of making broad generalisations based on your own experience, as you have been all thread.

Literally the first few links after a quick Google search have real football as the 4th/5th most popular sport in the US.
Mexicans, whites and blacks all play real football with more regularity than they do American Fatball, which is niche sport globally.
You probably don't have a strong command on decision science/statistics. You need to understand what those rankings are based off of to understand why those rankings are bullshit. The first one and 3rd one is basing it off of TV ratings in regards to the world cup. Nobody is sitting down and watching soccer on their weekends in America. The second one is based off of league revenues. Soccer ranks 5th because there's only 5 legit leagues.
Go ask the average American to name 1 professional soccer player on the planet Earth and they'll most likely look at you with a puzzled look or say Pele. Ask them to name a Golfer, Boxer, Tennis player etc, and it's a different story. Men's soccer is not popular at all with whites and espspecially blacks in the United states.
