This would get Americans into soccer

Prostitutes' Soccer Team Loses to Cops
Oddly Enough - Reuters
GUATEMALA CITY (Reuters) - A soccer team made up of Guatemalan prostitutes, formed to call attention to their poor working conditions, lost 3-1 to policewomen on Saturday.
The women get paid as little as $2.50 for sex and complain of frequent police harassment, despite their profession being legal and widespread in Guatemala.
"We get much more attention from the public now our faces are known; people come up and congratulate us and tell us to keep up the good work," said Valeria, 27, who scored the prostitutes' goal on Saturday.
"It's good to feel the power of being united; when we work, we are more isolated in our rooms," said defender Beatriz, 37.
The prostitutes, the Stars of the Tracks, were kicked out of an elite amateur league last month because of allegations that their fans used profanity.

If the team consisted mostly of those getting paid $2.50, I'm not sure how well that would go over.

There's some joke here, but I'm just not quite getting it.
