Viva Futbol/Viva Mexico!

Chapter Chapter 10 in Star-Spangled Soccer, 2010, pp 233-245 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract American soccer should wake up every morning and say “gracias” to the 48 million Hispanics that call the USA home. It should further mount a statue with a huge sombrero, soccer ball and flag in honor of the Mexican-American community that constitute the majority of this demographic and who have played a vital and incredible role in soccer’s commercial growth. The US Census predicts that by 2030, 20 percent of the US population will be Hispanic, rising to 25 percent by 2050 and as such they represent a core and critically important group for developing and expanding the sport (see Table 10.1).
