Americas first love was baseball. American football grew in popularity in the 20s with the leatherheads. I imagine there just wasnt much coverage of the soccer scene during this time. Maybe a newspaper article at most showing scores. Not much to drum up excitement unless someone immigrated to America and talked about it or visited europe. What we did have in america now was american football, rising in popularity; baseball. Which is widely popular already; and basketball which is also quite popular in the college scene at this time.
