Message: [QUOTE="Cheriehoop, post: 1078896, member: 127"] The World Cup is the Olympics for soccer. Just like Olympic events that people will watch every 4 years , it doesn't mean that they will become diehard fan of those sports on a local, regional level. Just like the Olympics , people will watch and even cheer out of national pride and for the spectacle of watching the worlds' best. Swimming, track and gymnastics are the most popular sports to watch during the Olympics. Just like with the World Cup, people become fans of those sports every 4 years, enjoy watching the best , learn about the sport and a specific few will become impressed enough to really become involved in competitive swimming, track and gymnastics as a result. The rest will be more than happy to wait 4 years till the next Olympics, World Cup to see how the US will do and again enjoy watching the worlds' best compete. [/QUOTE]
