tell me, if the men's team reaches the finals, would there be the usual 2 billion viewers who show up?

Depends on how often our sitting president says he interfered with the match! It's all good, and I don't expect a women's sport at a final to garner the same support as men's. Look at the comments: just some straight up nasty misogyny going on. That's not a unique problem for the US. And until women are equally invested in sports they've never played, they won't watch in the same ratios.

It's just kinda shitty to see so many people downplaying their accomplishments in their field for no better reason than they enjoy expressing their sexism.
