As far as little league stuff goes, I guess. Little league soccer was big with boys when I was a kid too, but none of my generation gives any more of a **** about soccer than any other age groups. I think it was just one of those things where pansy parents didn't want their little darlings getting hurt playing American football (**** flag football), so they had them play soccer instead. But then the kids got older and just grew out of soccer.
