I already admitted that the Olympics and world cup get higher ratings than the Super Bowl, but that doesn't mean that people watch curling, volleyball and soccer outside of these events. What soccer game other than world cup can get even the average NFL regular season game? How can soccer be bigger than the NFL (or even the MLB and NBA) when soccer doesn't pay $100 million contracts and when soccer is never on the front page of ESPN?
