If they keep going through with these stupid rule changes, Soccer will be the #1 sport in the US by 2025, and will take over the official title of "Football" to fall in line with the rest of the world.
This is probably going to happen anyway
2 things have historically hindered soccer's rise in the US:
1- no tradition (but now as many young kids practice soccer as football)
2- bad advertising setup for soccer ie uninterrupted 45 min halves (now with so much content going online big $$ advertisers are going to need a MUCH different model)
