Driving around the greater Houston area (in arguably one of the biggest football states), you will see not only a lot of soccer fields but those fields filled with kids of all ages and races. With the large Hispanic population here, it is especially popular in those areas. Soccer is by no means exclusively a rich, suburban sport here. I'd say that lacrosse, ice hockey, softball and baseball (to a lesser extent) fit that bill better.
That was also my experience when I lived in California.
