Soccer Fever?

The numbers are in the second link that I posted. As you will see, the total average viewership is not far off from that of the average viewership for the well established MLB.

[Assasin]

A bet him never read the second link before he typed?

[Bricktop]

since you playing dandy shandy...the average viewership for EPL in the USA is 440,000...non-existent viewership

p.s. are you saying that the EPL is not well established? :snicker:

[Jangle]

ok let me entertain you for a few more posts. The EPL is not well established amongst the average non-immigrant US viewers. However, the increasing popularity of soccer over the years has seen a sharp rise in viewership as shown by the numbers.

NBC and NBCSN combined to average 438,000 viewers – up 99% from last season’s combined average on ESPN, ESPN2 and FOX Soccer (220,000).

Compared with the MLB which is a well established sport....actually it's is considered America's national sport.

The 2014 season is averaging 1,242,000 viewers (p2+), up 11 percent versus 2013 (1,123,000), according to Nielsen.


Based on these facts, which sport is on a faster trajectory?

[Bricktop]

based on the facts...football should be cancelled...problem is they already sunk $250 million into the tv contract so dem get what the duck get...no kidding EPL is not established among US viewers...cause dem nuh waan watch it...lol

Brickhead...Major League Baseball has been part of the American culture for over 100 years - the first game was played in 1871. MLS has only been around in its current form since 1994. So on an annual adjusted basis, the trajectory is by far in favor of soccer, even though the absolute numbers are with the incumbent. Here's one for you -
