Totally agree. I just said it's not a detriment. I think the US has the athletes to be competitive internationally, they just all play football, baseball and basketball. I.e. the subject of this thread. If Chris Paul and LeBron had grown up with soccer balls instead of basketballs, the USMNT might not have been killed by Argentina at the Copa America last week.

But hey! LeBron and Paul can't beat Argentina at basketball, so maybe I'm crazy!
