"soccer is not a very popular TV sport in the real world here in the US."
So whether its popular on tv is your criteria of whether its a popular sport ? Check out this photo of L.A. Coliseum soccer crowd-93,000 plus fans. That beats anything the Rams have drawn.

do you know who the two highest paid team athletes are in the world? Lionel Messi and Christiano Ronaldo. Where does that money come from ?
Are you really going to debate if soccer is popular in America as the other major sports??? Especially the NFL???
Btw, Rams vs Cowboys in a meaningless preseason game drew as many fans as that in 2016..... It was a freaking nightmare.
The highest rated soccer game in US history was US women's vs Japan in the WC finals with 25 Million viewers
That same year the Super Bowl had 115 Million viewers.
90 million more people watched the Super BowlDon't get me wrong...outside the US, soccer is king......but we're talking US
