You do sound defensive because you seem to be saying that two things cannot happen at once. I worked at a small retail business at the time and we had the World Cup games playing on the television. Many, many people told me what I've told you here today, that they tried watching and lost interest. It was enough of a theme that I standardized responses at the ready. You cannot tell me that because some people kept watching that other people did not. I don't even know what you're disputing, to be honest. I said that many people get excited for a World Cup but do not end up becoming fans of the sport. You can believe otherwise if you like. |
Sorry, I had to step away because I knew I was letting emotions get best of me.
Let us put it this way. More people keep watching, the needle has moved and while majority may still not watch it exposure every four years with the World Cup does increase interest in the sport. It is a slow progress, but the progress is there and it is adding up especially among under 40 crowd.
