Message: [QUOTE="billsin01, post: 1084780, member: 837"] Did I honestly hurt your feelings with that post? This is a message board, I feel like someone calls me an ignorant a-hole about twice a day on here. But, I apologize for misinterpreting -- my bad. It is the very definition of statistical cherry picking. You take one game involving by far MLS' most valuable franchise and then say it beat some (unnamed) nhl playoff games. There's no context for what time and what it was up against or for the markets involved. And, beyond that, if we take it at face value it's a data point that, in and of itself, is not indicative of any larger trend. Now if the MLS is routinely beating the NHL in national and regional tv ratings, then obviously that's news. And it could happen. [/QUOTE]
