    In my teens I watched NBA basketball religiously.

    In my twenties I was a huge MLB fan.

    In my 30s I watched the NFL every weekend.

    In my 40s I have athletics daughters and I watch them play and I also watch women’s soccer.

    Does it help that the US women are a dominant force in the international area whereas the men are just “no longer a joke”.

    Yes, yes it does.

    When my highschooler was younger we’d go watch the Washington Spirit at the Soccerplex in Germantown.

    It sat about 4,000.

    This summer I travelled back to the US and caught a Spirit game in the new stadium in Baltimore. Holy shit what a big difference.

    The crowd now had 19,000 in attendance.
