The WC tv rights are higher in the US than in any other country in the world.I hadn't really thought about it until he brought it up but it is pretty amazing.

Unexpectedly thorough prosecution. Didn't know that was an interest of yours, nice going K!
I'm guessing it has nothing to do with any single fan that gives a rip about soccer. Wouldn't it have more to do with corporations that are investing in advertising during soccer world wide?

I'm sure that they had to have jurisdiction so yeah that's probably it. Of course many countries with rabid fan bases had jurisdiction as well.I'm guessing it has nothing to do with any single fan that gives a rip about soccer.

Add one more ratings record to the World Cup before we close the book on Brazil: The World Cup Final between Germany and Argentina was the most-watched soccer match in American history, drawing more than 26 million viewers.
With the FIFA blow up, we have no idea where 2022 will be. It could just as easy be in the US as in Qatar.next few world cups should be completely terrible with the massive time differences though.

Almost all if not all service drives are commission driven. If you enjoy you like having unneeded overpriced repairs pitched to you I guess that is great. Oh FYI you don't necessarily have to have warranty work done at the dealer but a dealer/manufacturer can sometimes dictate the terms of warranty work.

You have no idea what you are talking about. Pearson is a gigantic British publishing company and far from an extension of the American Government.
Part of the irony of these tests for kids is the entire reasoning behind them. One of the major ideas behind the tests are that teachers and schools are to be held accountable. If there is no potential reward/punishment for poor test scores, then why would the teachers or administrators care about doing their best to teach kids? This makes sense, but it fails to take into account the people that actually take the test. If there is no reward/punishment for test scores, why would the kids give a #### how well they do? Why would a kid try hard on a 12 hour test that is absolutely meaningless to them. It won't impact their grades in school, gpa, sports eligibility, moving on to the next grade, college, etc. The more tests you add, the less serious kids take them.
You do mandatory test that do not influence the grades? Why not? I'm totally shuked by this.
I know some States have graduation tests. Outside of that, how are schools using these State and national tests to impact kids grades? I don't know of any single school that uses outcomes on these tests to impact a kids class grades. Their grades in class depend on what they do in class. Why do you think all these parents and kids are choosing not to take them?
We don't have that issue in Denmark. All national tests to finalize a subject are graded and counts as a separate score. ie. you get a grade for how your teacher (subjectively) thought you did in class and another for how well you then tested.I know some States have graduation tests.

My class grades are objective based on the tests, papers, projects and presentations. That's the grade they get for a class. These various multiple standardized national and state tests have typically zero impact on kids. The only ones that matter are the SAT/ACT which collleges use for determining acceptance. Those are completely separate from the tests that our governments are giving to rank schools and evaluate teachers.We don't have that issue in Denmark.

OK so I guess let's compare playoff games to playoff games. Not talking one offs but every year. Roughly 35 million for the last wildcard games, 38 million for divisional games, Packers/Seahawks drew over 49 million, Colts/Pats drew about 42 million and the Super Bowl drew the largest audience in TV history of over 114 million.
Multiple people pointed out that you were mistaken in your assertion of the WC tv audience, why not just say "oops" and be done with it?
Yes many people picked one game. Let's talk about the regular season a bit. Let's talks about nearly a dozen televized games in March which drew less than 100k viewers. The highest rated game in March drew just over a million. You get canceled on the CW with those kinds of numbers. So I'm not sure oops is really happening any time soon. And the reason to use the NFL is because that's the most popular sport in the US. I am sure you guys prefer a comparison to curling or something but that seems unfair.
Not at all. People were simply pointing out that your statement "And the most watched match in the US drew 6 million viewers" was factually incorrect.
Didn't see it posted, but he fulfilled his obligation.
Allbefore the power of John Oliver
I'm so looking forward to the newt episode with John in golden sneakers, eating McDonald's and chugging a Bud Light Lime
I was laughing so hard my daughter came into the room to make sure I was okay. Classic!
