Yes, there is. We were debating over Bloon's statement: "The FIFA World Cup is the biggest and BEST sporting event in the world!". You said that the summer olympics is. Bloon then said that The FIFA World Cup is the most watched sporting event in the world. If it is the most watched, then the most amount of people like it/are interested in it. This makes it statistically the best sporting event in the world, because that's what most of the world says. It's kind of like politics. May the best man win. (That obviously didn't happen with George Bush, but fuck it, you know what I mean).

By the way, I'm not comparing sports with politics because that would just be...wrong.

And for Ein:

The most watched sporting event in the world is football (European
Football). To give you an idea of how popular it is, the 2006 world cup
final drew 716 million viewers. While the whole tournament attracted 30+ billion non-unique viewers

Suck it.

That is all.

You must not have read my post saying I AM NOT GOING TO DEBATE THIS SHIT AGAIN. END OF FUCKING STORY.

You should get it. I'm pulling myself out of this conversation and hope everyone else does the same.

At least it's more entertaining watching England go out in the quarter-finals, than watching the Curling team being humiliated.

Like I said, stick to soccer.
