ok, so now that we have watched it in such huge numbers, when we go back to not watching it can we stop hearing about how it's gonna catch on in - dogbert Jul 13, 11:02 1
- it has caught on. 24 million. see? -- nm - chuckles Jul 13, 11:03
Wow. That three times as many people who watched Game 6 of the Stanley Cup. - ty97 Jul 13, 10:42 3
- so slow....nm - x Jul 13, 10:43 2
  - I'm still a lowly apprentice -- nm - ty97 Jul 13, 10:46
  - he'll never have dinner with you now, ty :( - chuckles Jul 13, 10:44
so 3 times as many viewers as that NHL game 6 that people got excited about the ratings for....nm - x Jul 13, 10:42 32
- how did it compare to the Gold medal game of the Olympics? a more apt comparison... -- nm - Beaker Jul 13, 10:55 2
  - dude. -- nm - Reagen Jul 13, 10:57 1
    - i no read good -- nm - Beaker Jul 13, 10:58
- Comparing apples to apples (and stepping on the neck of this), 52.6 million people watched at least a portion of the gold medal hockey game. -- nm - David Jul 13, 10:44 28
  - i don't mean to say in any relative sense that it means soccer is more popular than hockey or some such. all i mean is that if a sport that is... - x Jul 13, 10:51 3
    - More than anything, I think it's like The Decision, a credit to ESPN's marketing team. - David Jul 13, 11:20 1
      - i think that undersells the importance of univision in the equation....nm - x Jul 13, 11:36
    - No! It's Thunderdome! -- nm - Reagen Jul 13, 10:56
  - comparing apples to apples, I think 27.6 million is the number you're looking for. -- (link) - znufrii Jul 13, 10:47 10
    - No, 52.6M was the number I was looking for. -- nm - David Jul 13, 10:49 9
      - well, then. so much for an "apples to apples" comparison. -- nm - znufrii Jul 13, 10:52 8
        
        See, what I did was post an unquestioned number that is -higher-; what you have to do now is find one that surpasses it. That's how it works. Get it? -- nm - David Jul 13, 11:10 7
        
        ummm, no. - znufrii Jul 13, 11:13 6
        
        Of course you don't since it hurts your initial argument. - David Jul 13, 11:17 5
        
        and besides, you have yet to provide the promised "apples to apples" comparison. -- nm - znufrii Jul 13, 11:21 2
        
        52.6 -- nm - David Jul 13, 11:24 1
        
        *sigh* -- nm - znufrii Jul 13, 11:26
        
        what argument? -- nm - znufrii Jul 13, 11:20 1
        
        Disingenuous. -- nm - David Jul 13, 11:21
  - how many people watched at least a portion of the final world cup game? -- nm - chuckles Jul 13, 10:45 12
    - You'd have to ask znufrii. It wouldn't surprise me if a bunch of people watched it and turned it off after 90 minutes of nothing happening, though. -- nm - David Jul 13, 10:47 11
      - if you play the soccer is boring card once more, i'm going to start making public how exciting i think baseball stat discussions are....nm - x Jul 13, 10:58 10
        
        Joykiller. -- nm - David Jul 13, 11:10
        
        how about soccer stats? I bet those are riviting conversations -- nm - dogbert Jul 13, 11:06 7
        
        soccer has stats? -- nm - znufrii Jul 13, 11:10
        
        they are, actually. to people interested in them, just like baseball stat discussions are. the difference being..... - x Jul 13, 11:09 5
        
        do people keep telling you how exciting the conversations are, and then when you say you don't enjoy them scoff at you? -- nm - dogbert Jul 13, 11:11 4
        
        does anyone think any of the stat discussions are exciting? interesting to some, sure, but exciting? -- nm - b. Jul 13, 11:12 1
        
        the only people who would find them exciting are the people in the conversation - dogbert Jul 13, 11:17
        
        i've never done that to you, so i'm not sure why you're crying at me....nm - x Jul 13, 11:12 1
        
        never claimed that you did. not meaning to cry at you, you just happen to be the other side of the conversation. it was just using it to make a joke - dogbert Jul 13, 11:16
        
        And yet baseball stat discussions are STILL less boring than soccer on TV. -- nm - Jim Jul 13, 11:06
Was this not expected? -- nm - Black Rabbit Jul 13, 10:40 1
- no idea. -- nm - znufrii Jul 13, 10:41
They should do a celebrity world cup. -- nm - Loyola Jul 13, 10:40
2 boring sports, yippee! -- nm - Strongbad Jul 13, 10:40
