All of that has nothing to do with only 500k people watching the MLS Cup or the second-most watched Premier League match only getting 800k viewers.

You are making ridiculous excuses.

As if people watching online or at bars is the reason for the lack of viewership

As if other sports don't have people watching online or at bars.

And as if bars are being packed to watch MLS games...


Your whole argument is laughable.

They are in many places. Lynch's here in Jax is packed to the gills anytime a soccer game is on.

No, you are acting like the reason MLS viewership numbers are low is because people are packing the bars to watch MLS games. One soccer-centric bar here and there means nothing.

That's a big reason it's low. Another is that a larger portion relative the overall number of fans actually GO to the games. The third and most important is that MLS has done a shite job of getting a decent TV deal (showing almost exclusively west coast games on Sunday nights isn't good for viewership). The Fourth is that a huge percentage of soccer fans in the US just don't care at all about MLS.

So? It still has nothing to do with this conversation.

1. Okay, so what... maybe 15k people go to a game? Okay, make that number 515k viewers Also, you are acting like people going to the games is exclusive to soccer.

2. If you are an MLS fan, you watch the MLS Cup. There is no excuse for 500k viewers. I mean, this isn't a random West Coast game...

3. The EPL or other leagues aren't getting good numbers, either.

You're STILL not getting it. Viewership is split between 5-6 leagues, some of which aren't even on TV. I know you live in Houston, so I'll just assume English isn't your first language.

Average is 18k and growing.

No, viewership crosses over several leagues. And even still, the viewership wouldn't be high if you added them all together.

You have neither confirmed nor denied that you're fat and speak English as a second language.
