not a truth nuke when the billions of people watch this sport and not theirs.

They think they have a point because for them all it matters is their jewish hellhole and nothing else, americans are intelectually incapable of understanding the concept that other countries exist and they like other things.

I could not care less about what an american thinks, as long as it's the most watched sport in the history of mankind they can all collectively put a black cock up their asses during the World Cup and it wouldn't matter to me.

Every sport in America is a goycattle statistic slop. There is no room for sports based on single moments of brilliance. Besides, every team is a soulless franchise created to extract cash from an audience so if the richest country in the world didn't have the largest single metric they care about they would be a complete failure because there is nothing else. They have no concept of club communal links and grassroots.
The stadium argument is also bad. It is like bragging a state the size of a country in Europe has a couple of big venues while ignoring cities like London and Madrid alone have multiple for the same sport.

Americans think money is the metric to evaluate sporting success because their mind can't comprehend the appeal of watching your local third tier club in a Wednesday night with the lads.

America was colonized before Soccer became popularized in EU, so naturally we’ve grown up on different sports i.e. Gridiron Football, Basketball, Hockey.

Yeah you can find more passion here for CD Tondela than you can for most NFL teams in America. Also I don't see how they have better stadiums. Bigger sure, better I doubt it, as UEFA has decided only low-spectator but high quality seating stadiums are allowed. You go to Dragãp, Braga or Alvalade and half the seats are cinema seats, also you can always see the players faces and play. In american stadiums whats the point of haing 100,000 seats if 20,000 people are there looking at the screen because they cant see shit?
>>
>>155948800
t. retard pulling shit out of ass

The main problem most Americans have with soccer in my experience is how much single incidents can impact the game. Three good saves or lucky bounces are the difference between a draw and a blowout, whereas in American sports (baseball, basketball, football) you get some insane high leverage moments down the stretch of close games but the teams have to actually be competitive with each other for those moments to be decisive.

It's a jarring adjustment to go from one to the other, and the low density of impactful events means that so many brilliant plays are ultimately meaningless. Whereas in American football every single play (or at least every first down) alters the game even if it only affects stuff like field position, every single interception or turnover is a massive deal, etc. Or in baseball every last out matters so a nice strikeout or diving catch feels like it has real importance.

Rugby and American football are totally incomparable sports even if they have similar athletic profiles. I won't pretend to have an opinion on cricket as I'm entirely unfamiliar with the sport (as I suspect you are with baseball) but both are weird with unintuitive rules so I really think you need to grow up with them to fully appreciate the sport moreso than others.

Baseball is weird. It's an insanely fun sport to watch in close games (last World Series for instance was absolutely amazing to watch). Also watching in person always has fantastic vibes, especially in close games. But also there are so many regular season games that no one outside of the stadium and a handful of diehard fans will ever give a single shit about.

Great sport for radio or to watch while chitchatting at a bar. But no one in their right mind would sit down with a sober mind and watch 162*9=1458 innings of their favorite team fighting for a postseason berth.

I can only speak with knowledge of baseball, but nah. Sports are an exercise in struggle by imperfect human beings, and that includes the officiating crew, and replacing any one of them with technology detracts from the soul. It also misses the point that victory and defeat are spiritual phenomena rather than empirical ones, and that sports are a place for us to experience them in a "safe" and ultimately meaningless context. You can review the footage of the Hand of God goal, or Galarraga's near-perfect game, endlessly and see what "truly" happened on the field, but that can never change what it meant in the moment, nor does it really matter. The win or loss is simply part of the story, not the whole of it.

The idea that Europeans should listen to amerimutt advice on this because US sports make more money doesn't really make sense because the sporting cultures of each couldn't be any different. Europeans do not give a shit about that. In America sports basically serve as background noise for people to chat in bars and living rooms. In Europe no one talks to each other when watching football because in that moment they don't give a fuck about anything else, the entire street is silent until there's a goal and you can hear people 3 houses down shouting. Completely different level of fanaticism. Europeans do not remotely give a fuck about how to squeeze out more goyshekels, one of the biggest clubs in the Premier League was almost relegated which would of cost them hundreds of millions in sponsors. In America they just literally wouldn't let that happen because its all ultimately about money

No basketball has the most international appeal from American sports

> Globally, the NBA boasts a much larger total viewership than the MLB. The NBA's worldwide audience reaches an estimated 550 million viewers, driven by a massive international following in Europe and China. In contrast, the MLB attracts approximately 250 million viewers globally, with its international footprint largely concentrated in Japan, Canada, and parts of Latin America

Baseball has completion with cricket while basketball has nothing that is similar

It really should be higher, especially considering it's a short career that needs to set you up for life. 70%, 80%. Basketball players have a better set-up. Star baseball and international soccer players even more.
>>
>>155960985
Baseball's appeal is qualitatively different in that it manages to be *the* most popular sport in a relatively large number of countries. Basketball is a much easier sport to get into (people run fast, jump high, shoot ball from far away, whoever gets ball in bucket most wins!) so it has a shallower audience across a much wider geography.

Baseball really struggles in countries where people don't play, because they don't easily intuit the rules and also don't necessarily appreciate how impressive what the players are doing is.

Quality of a sport as a financial investment isn't the same as quality for emotional investment.

Dollars are not a substitute for eyeballs, and vice versa.

Most importantly, it's not american consumers who are asking for change. He's asking for financial optimization.

Popularizing sports gambling and allowing scam sites like Kalshi to exist, so now people who watch sports are doing so to see if they are going to hit big instead of rooting for an actual team. America will turn anything into a degenerate gambling system if they know they can milk us for all it's worth.

He's not wrong about the listening to criticism. The issue is that our country does not do sports 'better' tham other countries based purely on profits.

He's not arguing financial viability but rather consumer preference. The NFL might be a better financial model than soccer even if consumer preferences were equal, but they aren't equal. So unless you want to make a distinction between consumer preference and emotional investment by explaining why NFL/NBA/MLB fans aren't actually invested in their teams (any American should know that they obviously are) then what you said is a total non sequitur.

This is just a basic reading comprehension problem. He used revenue to illustrate the point that there are 3 major competing leagues, not that American viewers are inherently more informed. The fact that there are 3 major competing leagues is why American viewers are more qualified to commentate on what makes soccer entertaining/boring, as Americans are faced with a buffet of choices that make American sports a much more competitive market than in Europe where people are going to watch regardless of the product's quality.

Europe needs to start inventing some more actually good ball games before they start talking shit. We already invented football and basketball and baseball.

Baseball by far has one of the best overall aesthetics to any sport. People literally all over the fucking world wear baseball caps. Their uniforms are nostalgic. The smell of a leather glove is a nostalgia a european will never understand. The satisfying feel of hitting a ball perfect.

After the Germany loss this feels very nukey for sure. They only lost because of some very shitty Ricky tack judgement call by some queers on tv.

Regardless of your opinion on the sports themselves the sheer greed and commercialization have done nothing but make them worse viewing experiences.

British sport popularity is mostly because of empire.

You could point out to the fact that the American sports fan idea that making scoring easier = more entertaining is just objectively fast, that would make cricket more entertaining than all other sports. Even if you limit it to just America it's wrong as it should also mean that basketball should would be more popular than NFL in the US.

You could also point to the fact that his ideal about American football NFL generating more revenue than any individual soccer league is a misleading one, since the NFL has a monopoly on tbr sport and accounts for basically 100% of pro American football while any individual soccer league is a small fraction of the overall pro soccer pie.

But most importantly this person ile American and was probably circumsized at birth so his hyperpozzed opinion about viewing sports as corporate entertainment goyslop is irrelevant.

>sports as entertainment
Most Americans don't give a shit about the actual competition. They just want to see the flashy lights.
There's a reason the fake sport known as "pro-wrestling" is so popular in the US.

There's also the geopolitical aspect of the industry, with govermnet gibs for propaganda purposes and the fact that the dollar is the reserve currency, further increasing the cash flow and inflating the revenue.

He isn't. He is absolutely right that being a stickler for rules ruins games. Basketball stopped calling traveling years ago according to the rules in the book because people were getting penalty called on traveling every 10 seconds. It was making the games unfun and made everything come down to how well they did penalty kicks. The same thing is happening here with Ai PoWeReD CaMeRaS.

This shit is also why legacy games like Baseball come down to what the refs see in the moment. If a ref can't tell without needing a high-speed camera if a player is breaking the rules how the fuck could the player know?
>>
>>155968706
>this is a competition first, entertainment second.
If your competition is competing for how well you play refball or divegrass then your competition is really shitty. Every player now is rolling on the field or purposefully pressing players into the offsides penalty box because any little sleight is picked up by the cameras. It's more obvious this year than it has ever been before.
