This article discusses about the lack of success of professional soccer in the United States with the countrys rich history of ethnic and amateur soccer. It also talks about how ethnic subcultural in soccer has made it available for groups to create a unique cultural identity while evolving into a multicultural nation. In addition provides example of an ethnic amateur club who has grown in success and popularity. 

The source is scholarly research by a scholar in the graduate school of education. He is affiliated with the University of California Berkeley. This article is from a trusted database and author uses many references to support its points. Author appears to be expert in this field of subject. 

The article is relevant to my paper in that it discusses several key points and conclusions for my argument of the lack of popularity soccer has been in america. I will use this to strengthen my argument throughout the paper.
