I took an elbow to my head, which cracked my skull.
It is an American game.
The Brazilians don't like hearing that, though.
Nobody likes that.
Yeah, absolutely.
First of all, thanks for having me on.
It's always really a pleasure to do this with you.
It's a lot of pressure to come on and be introduced to the guy who's the insights guy, but we'll try to do it.
Look, I think if we were trying to make a pitch about the success of this World Cup and how it might be an indicator for the future of soccer and the future of the World Cup itself,
It would probably be that having this World Cup for us is like having two NFL seasons in a single year.
The World Cup and the interest in it has grown to a level where the reach of this tournament is pretty comparable to the reach of an NFL regular season.
When we do a Fox NFL regular season, we'll reach about 170 million people.
NBC and ESPN, because they have fewer NFL exposures, they'll reach maybe 130 million people.
I think this World Cup has a chance to reach 150 million.
So it's somewhere between a primetime NFL package and a Sunday afternoon NFL package with more double headers and more windows.
So everybody understands that the NFL is the gold standard for reach, for fan passion, for viewer engagement.
And now we have another event.
that's at least in the neighborhood of an NFL regular season, just in terms of the number of people that it touches and the amount of engagement that it generates over these five and a half weeks.
It's a little bit younger.
What we tend to find is that sports TV skews pretty old, right?
