Michael Sheen and The Damned United’s director, Tom Hooper talk to Mike Ryan of NY Magazine about Mohamed Ali and why Americans don’t like soccer.

“I think the fundamental problem with football/soccer really taking off here [US] is that sports, national sports, sports that really take off in a country, are entwined with the cultural history of that country.

You’ve already got your sports. Baseball does that. American football, basketball, hockey in Canada. How can another sport come in that has no cultural or social baggage or history or tradition?”
