....what? Money has nothing to do with world popularity.

However, thanks for the link. It is interesting.

best is a relative term.

revenue is hardly a measure that would determine which of something is the best.

that article that it used to cite the US$11.2 bn figure on wikipedia is actually stating annual revenue of US$9.5 bn. last I checked, 9.5 is not equal to 11.2. your proof sucks.

it would have been more effective to use number of superbowl 2015 viewers versus world cup 2014 viewers.

that being said. fuck lawyerquest

9.5 is still well over double what the best soccer league generates.

american football also has the most teams in a league. america wins again.

I blame FIFA for taking so fucking long to embrace cameras and play reviews. Not asking for every match to have it. But, the main matches have no excuse.

English fans hate all the diving shit. Playing teams like Italy have always been hard to watch because of all the diving :/
