Message: [QUOTE="MadDogRevival, post: 2767126, member: 8028"] Thanks for the chart - I'm really just interested in the last five years or so. That's the time period when the Internet/pocket super computer revolution is really taking its toll on traditional entertainment. How are Italian soccer TV ratings compared to 2 years ago? German? Iceland? Netherlands? Japan? World Cup viewership in the U.S. is down almost 50% since 2014. That's massive, and, while explained in part by U.S. soccer not getting in, time zones, and such, it's still huge. MLS TV ratings are also down significantly. People are turning away from conventional TV and sports in general (both good things, really). My theory is that anywhere there is money there is going to be less interest in soccer going forward. BTW _ are you not American? [/QUOTE]
