He said 99% don't care about men's collegiate soccer ... attendance numbers support this ... and that is what I have said throughout and is the view shared by the poster as well. You want to move the goalposts so be it but I've been pretty clear about the constraints and he has as well.
Not sure what you’re talking about. I’m done with your made up arguments.
You also live several hours from Foxborough and can watch them on TV any weekend ... can you do that with Syracuse Men's soccer? No you would have to attend and in that sense you can see how many care when only 2K show up if you are lucky. But sure lets redefine caring ... as a matter of fact lets take this to the Syracuse Men's Soccer board here on syracusefan.com .. you know like the ones we have for football, lax and hoop? Oh wait there isn't one ... wonder why?
You keep responding back with data that doesn’t relate to my question.
And your question isn't representative of what was discussed ... stick to this and continue beating your head against the wall.
You said ( it’s a fact) that 99% of people in the US don’t care about men’s soccer or women’s lacrosse. I never got the evidence of that.
I asked someone to back up their facts. I keep getting responses that don’t come close to it.
Yeah. Cuse football is not fun so let’s crap on other teams for winning championships.
I think I have sufficiently stated more than enough on this topic to support his stance on men's collegiate soccer, you are asking someone to defend a position he didn't even take, you are manufacturing an argument that doesn't even exist.
and the price pt is vastly different.. even SU the price is cheap compared to the Bills.. We have free college sports teams that draw flies vs games that are $50-100 or more..
Ive asked the same question and I got back no evidence of data, studies, articles. Again. How do you know that 99% of Americans don’t “care” about men’s soccer? If you don’t have the evidence. It’s ok. Im not forcing you to respond back.
Just because you keep rambling doesnt mean you have proven a single thing...
And unlike you I brought statistics ...
That literally prove nothing...certainly not that 99% don't care for college boys soccer or college women's lacrosse. keep killing it.
That isn't what he said ... and no one said that anyway. Just a reminder (see where it says "college" in his post):
syracusefan.com
Already did ... unless you want to give me some NCAA men's soccer stats that conflict what I say you can just keep posting with no substance cool with me ... all show and no go. Doesn't really surprise me.

Non-revenue sports discussion
No, but it can’t be any fun thinking that everything is terrible We had a soccer team just win a national championship The women’s lax team has been ranked #1 Men’s basketball just got a new coach and brought in two stud transfers (they weren’t cheap) Football just went to a bowl game and...
I don't feel forced to respond ... quite frankly I find it baffling you continue to ignore the "college" portion of the comment. It's almost like you are a deranged soccer coaching demanding respect for the sport (yes I know you are a football coach).
There isn't anything wrong with that perspective that he has ... the revenue and attendance numbers support the opinion. Me personally, I love seeing all SU athletes do well but out side of LAX, FB and Hoops I don't have any emotion invested in it.
Average attendance is 2,500 for a men's soccer game ... if people gave a damn about SU soccer the games would be in the Dome like Lax because attendance would demand it. That good enough? They play their games here instead:
You win the debate and we are forever in your debt.

My favorite quote ...
"Having hosted several crowds of at least 1,000 spectators, the SU Soccer Stadium is one of the most exciting venues in the region to witness collegiate soccer."
Ooohhh 1000 spectators ... sounds like a really involved soccer community. Again 1% of the population in this country is between 3 and 4 million people. So with such amazing crowds we must look at how many games would we have to have to support 3.3 million unique viewers at 2,500 per game. Simple math it would take 132,000 matches at full capacity. Not enough people are watching ..,. asking the same stupid question repeatedly and not giving any data to support the other side of the argument won't change it.
If people cared they would watch ... games aren't on TV and not a lot are going ... seriously get over it.
Soccer is not entertaining to me at all. I don’t think I’ve ever watched a whole game .lol. No one is surprised that people don’t watch soccer as much as other sports. Attendance and viewership doesn’t tell me that 99% of the country don’t care for the sport especially when 21% of the country watch it. So again. Where does the 99% come from? That’s all I’m asking.Average attendance is 2,500 for a men's soccer game ... if people gave a damn about SU soccer the games would be in the Dome like Lax because attendance would demand it.

Just let it go...clearly doesnt get it.
No you don't and its clear because you act like a petulant child and contribute no facts. Move along.
Its and educated guess I would wager ... think about it like this ... top attendance getter is UMD at roughly 5K per game. Second is UConn at more than 1K behind ... average is at best 2,500 per game. So assuming that there aren't close to enough games to drive over 3.3 million unique views and most games aren't even on TV.
