Perhaps you could state where I ever claimed it was as popular as the NFL for a start. Don’t misrepresent me.
Look, I know the NFL is more popular in America than MLS. It will probably always be that way. It’s clearly the number one spectator sport we have — professional and college.
But I happen to be a sports fan. This means I appreciate sports in general.
‘Real football’ is played with the feet, it’s the most popular sport on the planet, and it’s growing here by leaps and bounds here in the United States. It’s cheap to play, it’s great exercise and your chances of serious head injury are much less. And scoring is difficult. That’s not always a bad thing.
In terms of average stadium attendance, it’s already third behind the NFL and MLB. But I never claimed it was as popular as the NFL and you shouldn’t build such a shameless strawman.
>> Perhaps you could state where I ever claimed it was as popular as the NFL for a start.
Perhaps you could show me where I claimed that you claimed that. Talk about a strawman! All I did was to wonder aloud why you cherry-picked your data — and then research it and point out the obvious.
>> Don’t misrepresent me.
I didn’t misrepresent you in any way. It’s a FACT that pro football American style dwarfs the viewership of the sports for which you provided data. And it’s a FACT that you left out that statistic when you compared sports.
Facts are facts. You don’t get your own version of them; sorry.
