And Baseball Isn't Too Boring?
-
Here you go, for your debating pleasure, a columnist complaining that soccer is boring on TV and blaming that for American's lack of interest in the World Cup. That might make sense if Americans indeed didn't care about the World Cup, but it DOES get big ratings and people DO care, at least a LOT more than the old days. He assigns the real blame to defensive, keep-away playing styles, but that doesn't seem to have caused ratings trouble in recent years. And soccer has been growing lately on TV here, at least for Premier League matches on NBCSN. So... is he wrong or right? Is soccer too boring on TV for Americans? (CBSNewYork.com)
