This year's World Cup crushed last year's World Series. The highest rated game from the World Series pulled 19million viewers.
It's sad that people spend so much time trying to convince others that a particular sport sucks, rather than just taking the time to learn and enjoy the sport. I've been hearing all month about how Americans dont like Soccer....yet the numbers suggest that it's only behind football. It seems that more Americans enjoy the World Cup more than "America's favorite pastime". There isn't an argument to be had anymore.

All but two teams were left in the NBA finals. That cuts a lot of fans out, thus lower ratings.
Anyone that says that the NBA sucks hasn't been watching the playoffs the last few years. It has been fantastic compared to the early/mid 2000's. The regular season is an AIDS fire, though. |

The NBA finals were over after Game 3.
Had that been a 7 game series, I imagine the viewer ratings would be far different. |

He's one of the biggest biggoted dumbasses on the board. Don't think for a second that he can carry any sort of logical conversation.

I can't think of any other entertainment or enjoyment medium that has more people popping in to tell others how much they dislike it. I don't go to SoapOperaPlanet, or RealityTVPlanet to tell people there that I think their shows suck and only gay people watch them. I don't go to VeganPlanet or IHeartBrussellsSproutsPlanet to tell that that their diet sucks and only gay people eat that way. Maybe its just me.

And with the huge nationalism element gone now (which doesn't exist in professional basketball obviously), the remaining World Cup games will get nothing close to that in the US.
