Soccer is the world’s most popular and recognizable sport. Almost everyone in the world knows what soccer is and how it is played. “The FIFA World Cup is the world's most widely viewed sporting event; an estimated 715.1 million people watched the final match of the 2006 FIFA World Cup” (FIFA World Cup). Soccer is fun for all ages and can bring people together in many ways. BCC should start a soccer program because it will bring in revenue for the school, it will get more people to come to the school, and it is an outlet for students.
Soccer is very cheap to set up so it can make more money for the school. Soccer requires very little. A ball, some goals, shin guards, uniforms, grass and paint. Sorts that require a full suite of armor like in football, or large stadiums and large goals like in basketball are much more expensive than soccer. Soccer also has very simple rules and is easily understood by both the players and the spectators. Soccer will also bring in soccer fans that will spend money at concessions and on merchandise in the bookstore.
Soccer can start out as a club and grow into a full competitive team later. Anyone can join and play as they please until the club gains enough steady members and popularity. Once the club has grown and a legitimate team has formed, the team can move onto competing against teams from other schools. BCC does not even need to purchase a field. They can have the team practice at another school’s field until they get their own.
Cape Fear Community College has a very successful soccer program. Lots of people go to Cape Fear’s soccer games (Cape Fear). They have both men’s and women’s soccer teams and are popular at the school.

...ool than it will cost it. BCC’s soccer team does not even need their own field when starting out. BCC can practice and play at another school’s field, like West Brunswick. This will help out West and BCC. West’s band could play before a game or BCC could advertise their events at West’s field. This is good for both schools in the long run.
Soccer is a great money maker. Soccer brings in students and helps them feel good about being a member of their school and opens up opportunity for students. Soccer is popular and recognizable and there is no good reason why it should not be a sport at BCC.

...the citizens of the city socially. It will provide a great night life, as well as other entertainment venues that can be brought in for use of the stadium. However to sell a stadium in a city by claiming economic benefits involves many risks, it will most likely not benefit the city and its people to have a sports team in your city.

their students and what improvements it could have for the college itself. This community college could easily turn itself into a four year college with this program. They would want the team to stay together as long as possible so that the media would not be able to take their eyes off Motlow. These kids that are flipping burgers and going to school just so that they can watch others flip burgers is nonsense. The college should most definitely have this program because of the ability to help students like this and many others.
We live in a global world dedicated to majority of American sports. Basketball, baseball, football, and hockey are mostly American sports. On the other hand, soccer is played worldwide and is considered a global sport. If Americans learn to speak the soccer language, they are learning to speak a universal language. Soccer is a starting place to stray away from the normal English, local language. The soccer language is the start to building a bridge with different nationalities, countries, and cultures. America needs to break the ice with other cultures and stop believing the American Culture is “superior” to others. Learning the soccer language will make Americans

...t very seriously and expend most of their free time trying to get better. In the United States, though, this is virtually reversed. This is not to imply that countless players at all strata in the U.S. do not take the sport as earnestly or try as much as their European counterparts. However, soccer is placed neatly on a high shelf next to tennis and golf, written off for the large part as a sport of the affluent and wealthy. Masculinity also plays a role, as many see football to be much manlier, played traditionally by the archetypal jock. Major League Soccer (MLS) achieves only a fraction of the viewership of the National Football League (NFL). Matches are only broadcast on national networks once in a blue moon, if at all. It is plain to see, especially at U of M, how little emphasis is placed on soccer in comparison to football. One need only to follow the money.

In China and Rome, games that were similar to soccer were played around 200 B.C. (Helmer and Owens, 5). People believe that soccer started more than a thousand years ago when villagers killed attacking pirates by cutting off their heads and kicking them around (Helmer and Owens, 5). As time went on, people in Europe also played a game similar to soccer during Medieval Times. In fact, soccer was used to prepare warriors for battles in Ancient Greece and Rome (Dilov-Shultheis). In later history, the English called the game “Football” because soccer was played by kicking the ball with the foot (Helmer and Owens, 6). The name “soccer” came to be when the American’s Association Football was shortened to assoc., and later to soc. Eventually in 1895 it was called soccer (Helmer and Owens, 9).

The definition of soccer: “A game played by two teams of eleven players with a round ball that may not be touched with the hands or arms during play except by the goalkeepers.

Soccer is a game where it would take time to learn and accept the game. There are many rules to understand and heartbreaks to endure. But if we looked at the game as a whole, we would understand that the game is truly like all others. It’s a game that binds people together and brings peace to parts of the world. For many it is a way of life, and people go to their church, temple or mosque every Saturday or Sunday and even during the week. If Americans gave this game a chance, it would possibly become the most popular game in every nation. But until then, Soccer will need to take time to catch on. Only then can the world most popular sport truly become the Beautiful Game.
