I hardly think sport comes into that concept. In fact the hotbed of American soccer stems from the Latin Americans immigrants there and I would say they are largely responsible for the growing popularity of the sport there.
In fact the only other countries that are comparable to the USA and Canada in terms of football (soccer) are Australia and NZ and the link between the two is that both USA/Canada and Australia/NZ were originally isolated from the old world, rather than actually forgetting their roots. But then again, football never actually took off in Australia and NZ, but rugby and cricket did.
