I know one racing fan that I would've known regardless of racing. I know a handful of soccer fans. Maybe it's a Northeast thing, but racing is totally marginalized and soccer has a decent following here. Go check out ESPN.com, soccer is among the individual sports that you can click on at the top of the screen. Horse racing is in the "More Sports" section. Why is that? And don't tell me it's because it's an international website.. I'm pretty sure the vast majority of people on that site are Americans.
