It was, yes

Estimate. I haven't seen the real number yet.

Close. Last year was the lowest at 500k. 2012 was 800k. Then this year.

Without Messi there's a chance it would have dropped below last season.

Heheh

So, for an old-school holiday blog post, I listed 5 games I picked up along the way that pair nicely with the holiday season.

Happy Thanksgiving

Not sure Mr Laphroaig is comfortable in this... mixed company

Thanks for mentioning it. I'll note it in my data because I think it's all going to YouTube eventually.

18 year old me in 94 would never believe this is where things are 30 years later.

Might be that this will be the most watched domestic league game of the year.

I haven't seen any Liga MX Uni numbers but with the YTTV change this NWSL match could sneak into the top 15-20 on US TV. Looking at you NBC Sports PR - need more NBC numbers. Publish or perish.

It's not rooting against it. We've been proven right over the last 15 years.

It doesn't match. They've also found themselves without many US players (which was a reason to watch in the old days).

Roster makeups look like temu version of top 5 leagues in Europe. The in-stadium draw appears to be for fans of cover bands. I can't go see Arsenal but I can see the Rapids!

They'll find that the TV market they left in 2023 will be completely different in 2029.

Do you think they know?

r/mls must be a treat. That type of fan has been on the wrong side of every move the league makes for a long time. I don't mind people who enjoy the league but to go crazy defending every move and slopping up every word from the don is gross.

In a similar boat. I mainly have it for my aging parents, but I love that I can record just about any movie pre-2000 (and the UI is good) so there is a lot of value for me there, but it's creeping towards $100 - and I can buy a lot of movies for that a month.

I see that as well. I'm an "old dad" of a 9 yr old and around a bunch of young millennial parents so I see it. Always wondering where all the kids have gone. USSF survived on the numbers and that train has left the building.

I think it never made sense bc it was incomplete. They wanted to sell their apple funded games to other nets and somehow didn't realize that Disney, Google, and every other network/tech company were apple competitors. I don't know if this is sportsbro meathead stuff or what.
