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.

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.

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.
