Quote:Who was arguing it's a global sport? I'm well aware that Soccer and Cricket >>> American football when it comes to global interest. My point was that Americans care as much (or more) about American Football than other countries.

Ah right, I must have misunderstood your post which compared viewing figures with other leagues around the world.


But yes, I don't think anyone would argue that the NFL is the number one sport in the US at the moment. And yes it does appear to put all other sports in the shade in terms of viewing figures


So here's a question, do you think soccer can eat into that market in the US ? And could it overtake lesser sports like baseball and ice hockey ?
