From Statistia: Super Bowl Pales in Comparison to the Biggest Game in Soccer: “While Americans are getting ready for what they consider the biggest sporting event of the year, the 57th Super Bowl, the rest of the world couldn’t care less. Well that may be a bit harsh, but from an American perspective it’s easy to overestimate the global appeal of the biggest game in (American) football. Speaking of football, soccer, i.e. the proper kind of football from a European perspective, far exceeds the Super Bowl in terms of global interest. The FIFA World Cup Final, played every four years to culminate a month-long tournament of 32 nations, really is the biggest game in the world, regularly reaching more than a billion people across the globe. According to FIFA, the 2018 World Cup final between France and Croatia reached an average live audience of 517 million viewers, with more than than 1.1 billion people tuning in over its 90 minutes. The Qatar 2022 final reached almost 1.5 billion people according to preliminary figures, while the average live audience of Argentina’s spectacular win over France has yet to be determined. The 2022 Super Bowl pales in comparison, having had an average TV viewership of 99.2 million on NBC plus an estimated 30 to 50 million viewers around the world.”

I believe they will intentionally say or do ought to injure us, “but the yankees have a very coaxing & insidious manner, that our Southern women in their artlessness cannot resist, no matter how favourable they may be to our cause or how full of good works for our men.”

–From Robert E. Lee in a letter to his wife, Feb. 8, 1863.

    @Aim higher, an eagle shows how

    Are you bored by lowbrow (including, especially, the ones in white ties and cummerbunds or ball gowns) MAGA trolls that senselessly complain about dishwashers who work, dry cleaners who remove stains, glass cleaner that gets rid of dirt, and reporting that delivers facts and truth?

    Take a break and get some inspiration too. My choice for father of the year: M15

        Don Miller: Look again.

        Republican Senator Rick Scott was CEO of Columbia/HCA, when the hospital company was fined $1.7 billion for Medicare fraud. As Senator, he has proposed the “sunset” of Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.

        Republican Kevin McCarthy, before he became Speaker of the House, claimed that if Republicans take over the house, he would use the debt ceiling to slash Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.

        Republican ex Vice President Mike Pence stated these programs can be modified by letting younger people to put part of their Social Security withholdings into a private savings account overseen by the government.

        Republican Senetor Mike Lee stated “It will be my objective to phase out Social Security, to pull it up by the roots and get rid of it.”

        The “Prez,” as you call him, distorted nothing. But isn’t it great to know that since he got the whole room to stand and clap, for standing up for seniors? Yeah.

    @ “don miller”

    So, let’s stay on topic a little: birds are a gift of creation; even to persons like you, even creeps like desantis and the rest of elected, and former elected, Republican criminals.

    Drift? Maybe you’re sitting in the bed of a pickup that rolled down the ramp and sank because nobody was actually driving, like Florida for the past 25 years, and you’re trying to figure out how to get out of the truck. Open the tailgate with the inside latch.

    You’re welcome.
