[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]U.S. open is bursting at the seams with popularity this year!  Over 1M fans expected to visit.  The Super Bowl can’t hold a candle to the top notch food and concessions they’re serving at the U.S. open. Several Michelin starred chefs are making dishes for fans at the U.S. Open.  The U.S. Open Honey Deuce drink has been a smashing success and has its own cult following on social media.  The players and fans at the open are also international, which is pretty much exactly opposite of the Super Bowl.   Suffice to say, the U.S. Open is now America’s greatest sporting event.  It’s not some niche sport like American football.  It looks sooooo much more fun to attend too.  [/quote]

Last year is averaged 1M viewers. Miami trouncing Florida in a terrible game on Saturday got 6.6M viewers. Tennis in this country is not even remotely popular anymore [/quote]

Meanwhile, youth participation rates in football are steadily declining as more and more people learn how terrible that dumb sport is for your brain.  Keep on clutching those pearls on the way down.  There’s going to be an inflection point soon as all of the youth who now longer play nor are interested in football translate that into being a non-consumer of the NFL in adulthood.  The Super Bowl is a has been.  More people tune into the SB simply for the halftime show than the actual sport.  Tennis is truly an international sport for which you can call the winner a global champ.  If tennis added gimmicks like Taylor Swift entertainment intermission shows, their viewership would blow up too. [/quote]

I like playing tennis. But I don’t think even Taylor could help viewership. [/quote]
