Sorry, Hoorta, but it isn't about which sports players are more aerobically fit. It is about which game is more entertaining to watch. I suspect ice dancers and ballerinas are also more aerobically fit than either football players or soccer players. A lot of women like to watch those.
And there is nothing wrong with that. But just don't try to push soccer down our throats. I will occasionally tune in for a bit for a soccer match....just like I would a golf tournament, or tennis tournament, or anything else. And, FYI, I attended the college of the reigning NCAA Soccer Division 1 champions. And that is a big deal. But just don't say that soccer is a major league sport yet.
1) That IMO is why soccer isn't more popular- the entertainment value. ( Like I said, I played competitive tennis for years, but I can't hardly force myself to watch the entire Wimbledon final.) Add in the low scoring- and the advertisers hate it- unlike NFL football which has those made for beer commercial breaks in the action.
2) I'm not trying to push soccer on anyone, and yes I totally agree it's not a major league sport in the USA- yet. May never be with the dominance of NFL football. And if some guys want to think it's gay that's OK too.
