lack of volume of the soccer posts in general. So the non-RSL soccer fans aren't

Can't that be said of other CB categories as well? If not a RSL category then how about MLS? We have a the WC coming..

Same reason there's no NHL category. Jefe doesn't care about minority groups.

Soccer is fourth behind football, baseball, and basketball?

Seems like 4th over hockey is a big deal 🤷🏻‍♂️

In Canada maybe.

Seeing from where it was ( last ) to where it has been..also in case you didn't know the WC will be played in NA in 2026

I agree. We need a women's college basketball category too. Come on El Jefe!

Tell me you've never watched much soccer without telling me you've ever watched much soccer.

Why would I not tell you I've never watched much soccer? Just ask me.

Why would I need to ask you? You're happily tc-ing plenty as it is.

Soccer being the most popular sport on the planet means nothing to me.

May 27, 8:19am

So you never watch any popular shows that originated outside of the US?

I don’t enjoy watching soccer

Isn't Real Salt Lake soccer? Nobody cares about soccer, it's boring.

HighHorse

There is a pro soccer category. You don’t need an RSL specific category

Good point. Easy to turn off both. But a women's basketball category would help.

“Soccer” is not a sport and watching it is anti-American.

Yep, things somehow feel off when I agree with TCuz.

Does the MLB not still benefit from being the US's earliest most popular sport? Is it easy to displace whatever is..

MLB is like 2nd or 1st sports league in the world revenue wise.

BaseCoug

May 27, 8:31am

MLB is at best a distant 2nd. There is a large revenue gap between them and NFL.

May 27, 8:34am

Is revenue a defining factor? Could better rev be due to NFL or MLB having hired better business execs?

This is a true statement. I’d rather watch a WNBA game than any soccer game.
