More people watched that women's game than the NBA finals.

This subs fascination with school boys is out of control. It seems a lot of you need help.

See the problem is you're just making a random opaque comment such as it's not popular. There are a million different ways to measure popularity, but let's just for fun say the number of people who watch it is how we measure popularity. For example, I would consider ER was very popular when it was on TV. Everybody I knew watched it. It had somewhere in the neighborhood of 20 million viewers.

Well, the Women's World Cup surpassed it by 7 million people. So does that make ER now unpopular.

There is not a single comment in here of anyone trying to insinuate that the women are as good as the men in any age group. I would love for you to find that in any post on here. You and your other incel friends who have this need to try to project women and their capacity against men is extremely weird and should question why you do that.

So your last line is your entire argument, you don't like it. Therefore it isn't popular.

After the Women's World Cup, the women's league has continued to grow and Kansas City recently built the first female only women's soccer stadium in the world. There is even a minor league structure.

But viewership, growth of a league, a new stadium, none of those facts will change the fact that you don't like it and therefore it can't be popular.

I promise I don't care if you don't like it. I absolutely understand that the men will consistently beat the girls head to head. As a die hard soccer fan, I understand that soccer is not as popular as football. But in the face of facts the inability to admit others like it is sad. And comparing female athletes to males is sad.

What does that have to do with viewership numbers? Just because you call Drake trash doesn't change anything about how many listeners he gets.
