It is 9:57 AM on 9/4 and that is enough interneting for today.

Super Bowl itself is a dud because of the element of people that are there to be seen.

As far as events, nothing can hold a candle to a good nighttime college football rivalry game. This is truly an a amazing clip from the BBC’s Stephen Fry in America series.



And the NCAA tournament sucks in tens of millions of people through its brackets.

Tennis is still a niche sport, though I agree that the Us Open is a tremendous experience.

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



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.


I like playing tennis. But I don’t think even Taylor could help viewership.

Americans like immediate action violence and all their kids have adhd so of course the nfl is the most popular

you think the NFL doesn't know this? The typical NFL player does not come UMC neighborhoods of Bethesda, Potomac, McLean, Great Falls so the decline in youth participation in this locales is pretty meaningless. The avid consumers of the NFL product sure come from those neighborhoods though..


The typical professional athlete doesn’t come from Bethesda, Potomac, McLean, Great Falls, not just football. Maybe swimming.

Tennis audiences crack me up. You see their heads all turn left, then right, then left, then right, then left, small break, then right, then left.

I'm a tennis player and have been several times, highly recommend it, but let's not go overboard here.

In-person atmosphere, maybe. I’ve been to both but haven’t been to either in the past 5 years. Super Bowl still reigns for overall viewership.

I went to a college football game this weekend and it’s more about the “vibes” then game itself. I don’t think tennis will ever surpass football in America especially since the cost seems higher and less accessible.
