if soccer is so boring, why is it that it is the most spectated sport on the planet with 3.5 billion viewers?

i'm going to say soccer and not football because most people who say it's boring call it soccer...if it's that boring down south then why does las vegas want a team so badly? i'm confused 🤷🏻

It’s not boring just out west people are more into american type football not as crazy about euro and south american/african football aka soccer to us

@beermeplease football is the largest commercial pro sport here as far as i know
@GoFish correct...to put it in perspective the nfl generates 22 billion in revenue whereas the mls generates 2 billion. the nfl is pretty popular in canada too. even i have been to a few games 😊

Vegas is an entertainment hub. It makes total sense that they'd want a football team. They cater to the world.

Because not everyone thinks soccer is boring. Either that, or they see money-making opportunities for a team in Vegas.
@Waveney a billionaire in vegas actually wants to buy the vancouver whitecaps which is for sale. the whitecaps are selling because they currently have to play in a stadium that is owned by the provincial government which restricts revenue from the current owners. it's a real mess. the mls was going to award vegas with a 1/2 billion franchise fee anyway but they'd rather buy an existing team and move it. the mls doesn't want that and nor do the other owners that get a piece of the franchise entry fee. we are one of the top teams in the league and even made it to the finals last year.....it would be a shame to leave. but now everyone is running around trying to save the team with local ownership but government needs to stop being "government"...like i said it's a real mess

Enjoy it without being so angry about other people’s individual tastes and preferences.
@RedBaron perhaps you see it that way...yes i'm being judgmental, but i'm not angry. was there no truth in what i said?

@beermeplease Maybe, but it’s not for you to judge those who disagree with you.
@RedBaron i wasn't disagreeing with anybody....it was merely a question to the facts

@ShenaniganFoodie aren't we called hooligans?
