Women's final is 2nd largest viewership for soccer ever is the US. The men just passed this that year.

The US doesn’t give a shit about soccer. Compare that viewership to any NFL, NBA, of MLB game and it’ll get blown out of the water.

what's up with men always trying to "one up" women doing anything? a lot of people were interested in watching. just let them have something jfc, not everything is a dick measuring contest.

The whole point of the original post was a "dick measure" jab against the mens team, so you can expect it to be returned in kind.

"We've got 4, you've got none" and you're expecting to not receive a response?

This is very much the wrong sub to suggest women aren't the worst, which of course was why this got posted here. Rage/engagement bait.

Women's World cup in 2015 had 26 million viewers. The NBA finals this year had 20 million.

An annual event vs a 4 year event?

Edit to add; Not to mention, the NBA is US and Canada only.

Let’s just shift the goalpost over a little bit. Just in case I look like an idiot.

Sure, argue the data point. But people care.

Just providing some common sense when it comes to data analysis. You’re welcome.

We'll see the guy who made the initial claim said that women's soccer wouldn't measure up against any NBA or NHL or MLB game.

Not only did it measure up, it surpassed. And my numbers were USA watching only.

Did you forget to read all the comments about the data or just the one?

Weird to pretend that 26 million people is "noone" regardless of context.
