“The ratings are higher than the NBA Finals or World Series.”
2 reasons. World Cup is every 4 years so it’s a big deal. 2nd, welcome to New America which is now filled with 3rd worlders. Great, World Cup rating are nice - yeah lousy crime filled country. But hey, ESPN has some nice ratings.
Let’s keep those borders wide open and keep importing 3rd world from Africa/ME and ratings will get even better!
BTW, how does soccer do after the World Cup regarding US TV audiences?
Let me ask you this question: those Third Worlders . . . they become USA soccer fans the moment they cross the border? I suppose it’s possible, the way a Venezuelan, Dominican, or Cuban becomes a baseball fan . . . but please elaborate. Spanish-speakers watch Univision, anyway. Why the interest in ESPN?
I notice you didn’t mention the NBA Finals, which happens every year. Which is as an American sport as you can get.
3rd world ? Baseball is 50% Latin American. And it is a dying sport.
