Lionel Messi's move to Inter Miami has significantly impacted his popularity in the United States, making him the most popular athlete in the country. This unprecedented feat sees Messi surpassing legendary figures like Michael Jordan, LeBron James, and Tom Brady. According to a poll conducted by Social Science Research Solutions (SSRS), Messi became the favorite professional athlete in the U.S. by late 2023, a first for any soccer player since the poll began in 1994 (World Soccer Talk) (Diario AS).
The American media has widely covered this surge in popularity. Reports highlight how Messi's arrival has not only boosted Inter Miami's profile but also increased interest in Major League Soccer (MLS) as a whole. The impact of his presence is visible through increased attendance at games, higher viewership ratings, and a notable rise in merchandise sales (Diario AS).
Furthermore, Messi's influence extends beyond the soccer field. His popularity has drawn attention to the sport from a broader audience, including those who traditionally favor other major American sports like basketball and football. This cross-over appeal is seen as a significant factor in soccer's growing prominence in the U.S. sports landscape (World Soccer Talk) (Diario AS).
Overall, Messi's impact on American sports culture is profound, driving a new wave of enthusiasm and investment in soccer across the country.
we(the rest of the world) used to laugh at MLS now we all watching and learning the teams names and players names because Messi is in USA
Just look at us now...
exactly 💯 , who knows mls b4
Yes indeed my good sire....
Before Messi came to USA I didn’t know any player of MLS teams but now I am watching ever single game because Messi is there. Amazing to watch him playing 🙏
people say one person can not change the whole thing...but if person is like messi...who is humble,talented,passionate...can bring change
And racist! He and his team mates are racists and were making fun of the black players of the French national team. The French Football Federation is taking legal action against Argentina's national team. Awful!
@@stephaniemarie8621 womp womp u too soft 😂
@@stephaniemarie8621Keep crying.
@@CDmusic10 Not crying! Just saying the truth and you know it!
@stephaniemarie8621 stfu, stupid! They're only told the truth!
Before messi entered MLS, we we bought tickets worth $40-$50 each. After Messi, it's selling out around $300-$400 average. That much profit is good for better stadiums, better players, better clubs, better investment in soccer, and to add to all that, how much more sponsorships are tied to MLS now? What Messi or his arrival to MLS has done for soccer in the US is unfathomable.
YESSS. Open your eyes, and Enjoy Messi!
❤❤messi is blockbuster
❤MESSI FOREVER ❤❤
Messi has always been blockbuster, i love that line
Messi has now 45 titles. Good luck getting close to that.
I cannot disagree to any word you've typed leading to the completion of this fantastic point 😁😁
Messi forever ❤❤❤❤
The biggest impact of messi will be the kickstart of the youth, football just isn’t even in the same universe compared to europe, hopefully he inspires a new generation.
❤❤❤❤❤We love Messi
Americans love to compare a sportsperson greatness by the number of people watching, the number of clicks and attention.
Messi is at a level of his own no one comes even close end of story 🇦🇷⭐️⭐️⭐️
Yes. I am emotionally connected to Messi. No doubt.
Yea, you can't deny the undeniable, Messi is # 1 usa star today 🥰
Messi deis it every where he is loved by many Countries I remember when he played in Barcelona football is a must for any Hispanic person Messid debut in Braca when he was 16 years old and he had his firts goal. No matter how much money he might have he is the most humble and lovea the sport and a real family men. Messi will play in 2 years still.
Messi is the #1 footboller in Ameriaca. Europe, Asia, Africa Messi is known world wide. SOME countries have statues of Messi like in Munbai India. Bangladesh adore Messi. Messi tespresenta ever south American child that kiccks the ball in the streets, schools, every where football ,balon pie, futebol, tubdil, futbol is all people want because it is a sport that unites people but it is to monenatize . Copa America should continue inbSouth America not North America as it is a Shouth American football for 108 years of competitions. After fafa gate now many pakayers are not allowed to play the sport it is becoming to comercialize. South America does not want that it will take it back even do the US jail all presidents of conmebol to later set upa other that fallow the fifa gate orders.
Just CZcams Messi’s best goals and it will take you down a rabbit hole of amazing!
Messi❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘

Messi the GOAT
Messi all day bro, 45 titles is like something unimaginable, really???????
I mean,you need a lorry to take them all, honestly, this football player is undisputed, full stop
Yes yes this is Messi 🎉❤
The USA isn’t used to having a real world champion.
They only have “world champions” that beat national teams.
Messi is football himself ☝️🫶
I said it but they don't believe 😂even when it's right infront of them
I never knew MLS exist until Messi came to MLS....Oh sorry,wait.....I never knew U.S had football clubs...(or should I say soccer? )....The only time I tune into U.S sports is for NBA or NFL Superbowl, nothing else. Messi has taken football & its popularity way to another level......Not only more ppl from the U.S, but ppl from the four corners of the world are tunning into this country simply for the GOAT .....Everyone should be grateful to have a legend like Messi in their country......& for the idiots.... stop the stupid jealousy & complaining & enjoy this great man before he retires!!!....smh
MESSI KING 👑 GOAT❤
Goat
It will be sad for fan, if Messi refuse to play next world cup.
It's not basketball, you can enter and leave as many times as you want, the age in a sport like real Footbol is finite.
100% agreed
Messi is now 45trophy he's going to win 5 more trophy to complete 50trophy I no that is going to happen
No bro he has at least 2 years left
STATISTICALLY HE IS THE BEST THERE IS THE BEST THERE WAS PROBABLY THE BEST THERE WILL EVER BE ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Very true to your word ❤💯🔥🔥🥳🥳⚽️⚽️🇲🇼
Gracias por tan bellas palabras, Messi es asì, las merece
Consistency & longevity.
I’m an American, and even I think the MLS is a bit of a jokes
It’s thanks to Messi, I know all the teams, and I watch multiple games a week and keep up with the news and big players/clubs.
Messi is great for USA Futbol

Thank 's.
For those who do not remember, Alexi Lalas was NOT a Messi fan. He called him “overrated” which means I detested Lalas for years. He didn’t join the bandwagon until 2020 or so.
Only one GAOT and one king 👑 Messi Messi
👍👍 Please, your comment is beautiful, but correct GAOT to GOAT! Regards 🌹
“And we will be stupid not to” Mic drops.. hahaha
never though that i will be hearing gringos speak about messi like that and in usa
FUE UN REGALO DE DIOS. AKA MESSI IS A GIFT FROM GOD!
I remember this guy not so long ago talking nonsense about the guy.....how things have changed!
those americans are a fan of unrecognised players in other parts of the world but MESSI?? americas are yet joking
👑Nuestro capitán 👑 ⭐⭐⭐🥇
Kids now dreaming bigger, got me😂😂😂
Messi did for MLS bețer than Cosmoss New York and all the stars of the 70's put together! And we speak about Beckenbauer, Pele and all the others! Yes, I know, it's not the exposure that we experience in these times, but , count that, it's one one man army against a handful of stars!!❤️
What the fu.k!!!❤️
No disrespect for the stars mentioned above, who are a giants on themselves, each one of them!!❤️
Messi goat if you dont know you must see videos in you tube amazing magic player
LIONEL MESSI FOR PRESIDENT OF US !!! MORE FOOTBALL SOCCER (LESS WARS!!!)
The guy with Taylor Twellman almost looks like Aguero
reconforta ver como se dan cuenta que lo más grande, no tiene que ser siempre marca US
Its simple, there is no football player with the messi numbers. He broke all the records, records that took more than 40 and 50 years to be broken. More goals in a year calendar, more goals in a football league, more goals in one matc at champions league....and the list goes on. he is today the best football player of the world.
To me the list is Messi/Maradona Maradona/Messi>Ronaldo 9>Ronaldinho>Van basten>Garrincha and then anyone you want... xD cheers
He's more popular than jordan and lebron put together
🎉❤❤🎉🎉🎉
These Americans has a lot more to study the Messiah of football in the world.
Messi once said i play football not soccer
Messi is great, only problem MLS sucks.
Who's Tell Nift ??? Is he a sportsperson ???
🫡..yea...
Pure class and he and his team mates are racists and were making fun of the black players of the French national team. The French Football Federation is taking legal action against Argentina's national team. 🙄🤔🤨
Have you heard any of those chants? Were you there ? How will you judge Messi by retelling mainstream mindwashing agenda? And what about your rasism? Most people tearing up others are racists themselves (not realizing it). This is called projection!
Americans eh?
😂😂😂😂Penaldo fans take notes
Learn to spell, it's Ronaldo! Why bring him into this? Only fans have problems because they respect each other! 2 of the greatest ever.
@@marg3153 Everyday Messi laugh at his ass 🤣🤣🤣🤣you ppl need to see what's up top at first spot.
@@UPTIMUPRIME What do you mean by you people? I am a fan of both Ronaldo and Messi!
Messi in not singer
messi is the captain of a team of players who celebrate by singing racist chants. not a role model. sorry.
Your problem.
Are you talking about a song by soccer fans, just the country with the most racial discrimination does and has to this day...? Hypocrite
One-he wasn’t there and two-he typically comes down on the team for any negative comments about opponents (except NL because they are jerks)
No hubo racismos en esa canción
@@BalduinoIV-yc5ibVery true. The woke people in Europe do not want to accept facts. What is racism? Stating that almost the entire French squad are Africans but French on passport or that Mbappe was dating a transgender? Aren't these facts. Honestly, the French are sour losers 😂. They can continue crying over the loss. And l hope the African French fans you copy. Your "brothers" in the French squad whom you support so much are ashamed of bring identified as Africans😂. Hence the FFF complaint! Shame upon you Mbappe and co....
Facts 1000%
Love Messi ❤❤❤❤❤
