is it even a debate anymore

[PancakeBrah]

Just keep repeating what I say. You do the same with threads. Well done.

No one was talking about soccer. Uh oh was talking about football. In America. On American television. Against other American sports. You come in to post something about soccer. There are four possible reasons you did this;

1. Trolling
2. Insecurity
3. Hatred for America
4. You're a faggot.

#1 and #3 are the likely answers but don't sleep on #4.

are you fucking simple? how about you re-read my first post in a fastidious manner and then get back at me with an apology, faggot.

[veritas]

their heating up......

they're*

[veritas]

they're

[uh-oh]

so is there any american sport that is even debateable in terms of competing with the NFL?

i seen veritas posted wwe which is interesting. but they obviously don't do the same numbers. do you think they would if they were in a 16 show format? with ppv's being like playoff games?

i still don't think baseball would hang with only 16 regular season games. MAYBE basketball.

i doubt it tho i feel like those sports are made for a bunch of games

[veritas]

I thought wwe did greater than monday night football every night?

[uh-oh]

you thought, very very wrong, since its not even mentioned in the list of the 35 most watched events this fall.

literally 34 of the 35 most watched events from august to now, were american football. with the last spot, 35 going to the macys parade

but who knows you might be onto something, i didnt google for that yet. but for all i know, number 36 could be wwe raw, above of some random monday night football games

Basketball is a far far second...I assume thats the closest sport to football IN AMURICA.

Maybe mma? Too soon?

No.

Monday Night Football has been the most-watched series on cable since it moved to ESPN: http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/201...t-year/224949/

Monday Night Football averages about 10 million viewers to WWE Raw's less than 5 million even when it's not competing with football.

[uh-oh]

mma has actually been declining in america

the most watched ufc event was the first one on fox, with 5.7 million viewers.

each successive event has got less and less. the last one in december did 2.2 million

the AVERAGE nfl game this year got 17.6 million viewers

Final answer basketball.

i wonder if MNF did better numbers before espn? when it was on regular tv, not cable

which is pretty dope, but thats basically the average nfl regular season game

but basketball is much more accepted worldwide than the NFL, and it being the finals, im sure it was broadcasted in other countries

im not sure if these numbers come only from america, or from the whole world

Much, much better. But back then it also was the only prime-time game of the week, so it was just a bigger deal. Sunday and Thursday games also are part of what cuts into Monday's ratings issue.

[uh-oh]

to put it in further perspective

the cowboys game on thanksgiving got 31 million viewers lmao

against the raiders. a mediocre team at best, vs a shitty team. GOT 31 MILLION

granted its thanksgiving tho, where all americans do is feast and watch football

BUT STILL

when you look at week 1's game between the 49ers and packers, it got 28 million viewers

NFL DOMINATES MURICA

[Certain]

Here's perspective: The Thursday night game on NFL Network between the Jaguars and Texans drew more 4.633 million, almost double any other cable show on Dec. 5. That's the Jaguars and the Texans on NFL Network.

So adding the world wide veiwing numbers of basketball doesnt apply?

Its still an American sport, but I guess that doesnt matter.

Dam I cant thinl of anything remotely close to the nfl other than basketball.

Kinda of funny its accepted more than football when basketball
Was not liked by the masses when it first popped up.

[uh-oh]

nah i didnt mean the worldwide viewers dont apply

i just meant those numbers could be bolstered by people outside the US

like the super bowl, a bunch of countries watch that. im sure its the same for the nba finals

i made this thread wondering about in america specifically tho.

and certain that is INSANE

two of the worst teams hands down

ON THE NFL NETWORK

which i don't even have. which most people can't even GET. pretty sure its a directv only channel right?
