Beat me to it, but I'll raise you 10 years: I was told that 10 years before 10 years ago.

As long as football isn't banned, soccer will be something Americans care about in numbers large enough to make it work only during the World Cup and Summer Olympics.

Meh, that's a fairly antiquated view. This is actual data from last week

Pacers/Warriors, 2.0m viewers (ESPN)
Heat/Raptors 1.3m (ESPN)
Man City v West Ham, 1.25m (NBC)
Bulls/Lakers 1.1m (TNT)
Knicks/Raptors 1.0m (TNT)

Certainly the NBA gets a lot more airtime right now (NBC only airs one game per week) but the games broadcast on NBC average about 1m per match, which is fairly equivalent to regular season NBA on TNT (but below ESPN).
