Deployed a few years ago and when we were around the Indian Ocean area the only sports our sat tv picked up was some IPL cricket. Quickly became really popular with people huddled around the TV screen, cheering for every 6 lol.

Definitely not popular in North America but it has potential.

Sometimes when I go to Washington DC I see some Indian fellows playing cricket near the Washington Monument.....looks pretty cool

Do these guys go on to be professional wrestlers?

Is Hamilton just that good or has the competition’s cars caught up to Mercedes? Genuinely curious as F1 seems to be a sport dominated by qualifying well.

Well they do have that special program for wrestling with students in the showers

I'm on a ski lift so I won't be able to link but check out:

Hasan Minhaj episode on cricket

There's a couple of Netflix documentaries on the corruption

I know I won't win any points - but type in "cricket corruption" on Google and the rabbit hole will be dug.

Sorry if I can't help at the moment, but those are very good foundations.

This could be huge for the states! Gonna be interesting

People also forget Penn State is coached by Cael, an Iowa state legend who left his Almamater because of the recruiting pool in the east coast compared to Iowa

I know nothing about modern professional cricket. Can you provide some details?

The least homoerotic of all sports

Grew up in western PA. Wrestling has been huge for decades there.

Yep, PA and NJ both have established youth programs that a majority of states do not. Getting started in wrestling at 8 yrs old instead of High School is a huge step up on top of the very strong wrestling culture in both states

Out of curiosity, who would define as the better wrestler: Sanderson or Lee? I know very little about wrestling as a whole, but it seems like Cael had a more impressive college career compared to Lee

Theres PA at the top, NJ in 2nd and then the others

Americans don’t take Soccer seriously. That’s proves my point. If Americans some how “care” about Cricket. It could be huge.

I dislike sports, but I know I would be hooked on cricket. It’s so exciting.

Yes, that’s why the US men’s team won the last football World Cup. It has, after all, been about 30 since MLS was founded.

The Chennai Super Kings are one of the best named teams in all of sports. Just being "Kings" wasn't audacious enough for them.

If Americans take up Cricket in a serious way, they will dominate the world in 8 years. There’s no bigger organization than the American Sports Complex.

I actually like cricket a good bit. Very relaxing yet also more exciting than baseball. With more people like Jomboy talking about it and giving very helpful explanations, I think it could get some decent viewership.

And his goal wasn't even to return the gun. He was just going to pick them up because he was their ride. Just sucks that the Jeep with the victim and her boyfriend (who had a gun and potentially fired first) pulled up beside them right after Miller arrived.

Minnesota and Iowa are both up there, probably historically more impressive actually.
