except his sample is 20 years earlier. sports can gain and lose relevancy in 20 years.

Why do you think the richest clubs in the world are football clubs. They even have more money than the NBA that if i'm not mistaken were the richest team

The richest club in the world is a baseball team. I'm pretty sure about that.

It's the most relevant one to the argument... It provides an actual basis for comparison. I have to say Magglis' example is very well chosen... Just saying.

Also, it's a number thrown out by a report with no facts to back it up (seriously, I am looking). The average fans that were in the stadiums were not Americans only (as there was a spike in international travel for those coming to watch the games) so this does nothing to support the idea that "soccer is popular in the US" rather that people who are fans of soccer are so loyal that they would fly half way around the world to see it. That's why I ask about the trends over the last 2 World Cups. Both are dropping and the money isn't being brought in like it was during the 94 WC (which was in America, where events like this will always bring in high revenue. People in America pay higher price and more will show up to an event like this than if it was hosted in an outside country. Hence, the argument made by maggs is only helping to further the thought that "America has an bigger influence" which in turn would support the idea that the Superbowl would be more Relevant that the World Cup (since America is being used to determine 'success' of the event in question.

alright fair enough... though it should be said that 6 of the top 10 are nfl teams. and second on the list is actually the cowboys... only 3 soccer clubs in the top 10. For richest sports clubs.

So according to forbes...
man u is the club with the most money
But right behind is the cowboys
and out of the top 20 clubs
14 are american football
4 are soccer clubs.
