so i misread it, big woop
soccer is not more popular than hockey in america and you're delusional if you think that
"I swear, if something bad happens to my friends, I'll rip every tooth out of that shark and make it into the most beautiful necklace you've ever seen." |
|
|
"lol and its already right behind eredivisie in terms of quality"
uh iSS let's not get too far ahead of ourselves, just because the BEST PLAYERS can compete against Europe's best, that doesn't mean the entire league can. MLS defenses and goalkeepers are awful in general |

also, old ass players come to the mls to end their careers
people from around the world come to play hockey, baseball, basketball
not really football but some do |

@harl
uhhh i haven't seen anyone bash the mls for only signing older players besides you and liga mx fans, and even then, almost all aren't even the top players in the mls |

before you say anything about tv ratings for wwc
how many of those were casual fans who were just watching to have a reason to scream "YEEAAHH USA WOO"
"I swear, if something bad happens to my friends, I'll rip every tooth out of that shark and make it into the most beautiful necklace you've ever seen." |

i have more friends that like basketball than soccer, but they still like soccer over hockey & there's like 20 kids at my school that like hockey. |

except that it is
EPL ratings higher than NHL ratings across the board the entire season
Women's world cup ratings higher than any game in the Stanley Cup Final
International friendly ratings higher than NHL ratings
Meaningless pre-season friendly ratings higher than NHL ratings
Also doesn't hurt that 300,000 more people in the United States play soccer than hockey |

"The only league I see the MLS overtaking at some point in my life is the NHL. The NFL, MLB, and NBA will always remain superior."
The NBA will fall once LeBron retires I can see it happening. The NBA was close to failing in the 70s or 80/ but once Magic Johnson and Larry Bird came to the league they rose again |

I also love how you ignored the part about EPL TV ratings being better than NHL TV ratings on the same network |

@vez
if you wanna compare national teams then, then the us soccer team(s) are definitely way more popular than us hockey team |

That's because EPL games were only broadcasted on NBCSN genius
Fox, ESPN, and NBC are currently fighting over broadcasting rights for the EPL
And the final number will be far beyond what anyone's paying to air the NHL |

then you cant compare the ratings for one station lol
compare them when EPL gets on multiple stations so we can compare them, not just on one station |
|

"And the final number will be far beyond what anyone's paying to air the NHL"
the final number will be fair beyond what anyone's paying to air any sport whatsoever don't use that as an argument also the epl is the most popular league in the world of course people will watch it more than nhl.

the games on NBCSN are early in the mornings
most happening at
4 AM-7 AM
more people wake up in the morning to watch EPL when they're half asleep than people watch hockey on NBCSN (it's leading network) in primetime
i think you can compare them
