The least viewed MLS Championship ever
http://worldsoccertalk.com/2013/12/1...-mls-cup-ever/



Saturday’s live broadcast of the 2013 MLS Cup on ESPN had an average viewing audience of 505,000, which is the least-viewed MLS Cup ever on English-language television.
The previous record low was the 748,000 viewers who watched the 2010 MLS Cup between Colorado Rapids and FC Dallas. That game had a 0.44 TV rating, but the viewing audience was greater than the 2013 MLS Cup due to the 2010 game being shown at night instead of the 4pm ET broadcast between Sporting KC-Real Salt Lake.
The 2012 MLS Cup between between LA Galaxy and Houston Dynamo had a 0.7 TV rating and was viewed by an average of 797,000 people. The 2013 MLS Cup viewership was down 44% from 2012.
The disappointing 505,000 viewing audience figure for the Sporting Kansas City against Real Salt Lake game follows the 29% decline in regular season MLS TV ratings on ESPN compared to last year, as well as a 8% decline on NBCSN.
The 505,000 number is the same as the viewing audience for a repeat of Everybody Loves Raymond, which was shown on TBS at the same time as the second half of the 2013 MLS Cup. In contrast, 514,000 viewers watched MLS Cup 2013 on UniMas.
In comparison to Premier League matches, the 505,000 people who watched MLS Cup 2013 was fewer than the 507,000 who watched Chelsea-Southampton on Sunday, December 1 at 11am ET on NBCSN but slightly greater than the 499,000 viewers who watched Arsenal versus Everton (played on Sunday at 11am ET on NBCSN).
Read: Why Major League Soccer Has Bigger Issues Than Just Poor TV Ratings
TV ratings for MLS’s premier game, MLS Cup, from 1996 to 2013 are:
0.5 2013: *Sporting Kansas City-Real Salt Lake (ESPN)
0.7 2012: Los Angeles-Houston (ESPN)
0.8 2011: Los Angeles-Houston (ESPN)
0.4 2010: Colorado-FC Dallas (ESPN)
0.8 2009: Real Salt Lake-Los Angeles (ESPN)
0.6 2008: Columbus-New York (ABC)
0.8 2007: Houston-New England (ABC)
0.8 2006: Houston-New England (ABC)
0.8 2005: Los Angeles-New England (ABC)

Soccer has been the #1 youth participation sport for decades. Literally...decades.

Of course, if you're to believe Chuck Klosterman (and I happen to in this case) it's because youth soccer is geared towards an outcast culture that doesn't like sports, and soccer is the least reprehensible of all options because you can float through the season anonymously, whereas uncoordinated people in other sports are singled out--batting in baseball, shooting/ball-handling/defense in basketball.

It's a race to see which sport is more irrelevant in the US... Soccer or Hockey? And soccer just took the lead.

There's no arguing that if there was one sport that Daria wouldn't be terrible at would be wing back as long as she doesn't get her deathcab glasses caught up on those net over jerseys.

It was kind of a screwy finish to the year because of world cup stuff, I think the last two games took a month to play. I don't know about other people, but with soccer I don't watch other teams play for more than a few minutes.

Exactly. I mean, we all can watch the random Thursday or Monday night football game or even college. Who the hell watches a random Chivas USA vs. FC Dallas?

I can't. I don't really understand why anyone pays attention to all those Monday/Thursday games the Chiefs aren't playing to be honest. 3 hours a week of Chiefs games is enough for me.

When I was younger I was into all those games but now that I'm older I couldn't care less about the rest of the slate of games. If the Chiefs aren't playing, I generally won't watch unless it's the superbowl.

Having said that, its the same with soccer. If sporting KC isn't playing I don't care about the rest of mls either.
