Twenty years ago I would say this was true but now, not so much. Back then you knew the players and there were no phones with updates, I knew alot of people who took time off just for these four days. Now, you dont know the players and your phone hits you with updates, a brief glance and you go back to work.

This is right up there, but they unfortunately lose a few points when you learn that they're the Fighters, owned by Nippon Ham Foods Ltd.

I wrestled in PA and we always had better turnout than the basketball team. All lights out in the gym with just a single light hanging down over the center of the mat was a nice touch for the matches. I started in early elementary, local camps every summer, and thought the whole country was just as invested in the sport. I gained like 60 lbs my freshman year in college as that was essentially when I stopped training (not a college wrestler).

No it isn't. Every year they come out with these BS numbers based on someone's estimate.
It's ridiculous.

Lol, considering how big the MLS has become and how long it took to be what it is now I think they have a mountain to climb.

This is the correct answer.
Im English but live in America. I was walking my dog the other day and saw a couple of south Asian kids playing cricket in the garden. Made me happy to see it.
Im curious as to what kind of number ESPN+ gets for cricket too.

Test cricket and even one day cricket can be a bit slow until you get what it is. But T20 (which is what this is)? It's the length of a baseball game, but with ~200-400 runs scored. Doesn't sound boring to me.

Other great high school states for talent. But Penn State for college is a different animal. Cael Sanderson in particular is a wonder.
