Favorite US history myth that needs to die a sudden and quick death, GO:
Soccer hasn't only recently become popular in the US
Soccer was never just a game for immigrants and ethnic communities
Women were playing soccer across the US long before Title IX

I’ll start
Betsy Ross didn’t sew the first fucking flag.
There was no ‘first’ flag.

@ussoccerhistory.org is starting to put up footage of soccer matches from the early days of US soccer.
I wanted to quickly point to a couple of them. They are a doubleheader of games from 2 December 1928 at Starlight Park in the Bronx.
