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.

This video is a year old, they’ve made a lot of progress since then.

So am I to take it from your inference that the Russian Lemmy site is called Lemmygrad?
