We're only about 30-40 years removed from a time when the US Mens National Team was made up of part-time players and the only soccer that was on TV at all in the US was broadcast in Spanish. Today, an American is the best player on one of the biggest clubs in the world and NBC pays the Premier league $450 million per season to broadcast the games (while CBS pays $250 million for the Champions League, on top of owning the rights to Serie A, while ESPN owns the rights to La Liga, the Bundesliga, and even the English Championship, which is kind of the equivalent of AAA baseball).

As it happens both are growing quite nicely:
