EVEN!? EVEN? Football is always going to be bigger than American football. The NFL is a bigger league than Champions League and The Super Bowl has more viewers than CL Final. Even though there might be more people watching random national leagues, NFL is still bigger than any of them.
And now combine all of the the worlds football viewer counts. Big = bigger, that means all over the world. Hell, the Euro 2012 finals had approx 250m viewers, more than double of the Super Bowl, let alone the World Championships finals.
Football = bigger than the American Rugby variant.

Serious question because I haven't been keeping up with scarlet "news". Is she a man who thinks shes a girl? or did she suffer a birth defect? I'm a bit lost, did some searching and couldn't find a clear cut answer on TL/liquidpedia. She's transgendered. She's a woman.
To clarify, she identifies as a woman and should be referred to as such. The psychology of why someone goes through with sexual reassignment surgery, or identifies as the opposite sex they are born as, is very complicated to explain. I have a family member who has gone through a male-to-female sexual reassignment surgery though, and the best explanation she could give was that throughout her life she's felt like she's been in the "wrong body". I cannot say I truly understand what it's like to feel you're "in the wrong body", but I respect that she did what she considered was right for herself and I'm very happy for it. She's been a much happier person all around since. The "what caused her to feel that way" is unknown and not really important.

Why are people talking about physical sports? This is the internet, you're all not supposed to participate in such things.

The 2006 FIFA World Cup Final was watched by 715 million people, as estimated by FIFA.[10] IPG independent media agency Initiative Worldwide estimated an average of 260 million, with 600 million who tuned for some part of the game.[11] The independent firm Initiative Futures Sport + Entertainment estimate a reach of 638 million and an average of 322 million viewers.[12]
from wikipedia.
Thats more than entire population of the US.
Incidentally
The 2011 Cricket World Cup semi-final between India and Pakistan is reported to have been watched by about one billion people by The Guardian,[23] which if accurate would mean it had more than twice as many viewers as the actual final, which was watched by 400 million people based on the available data.[24]
Thats pretty funny.

Can someone please tell me if Scarlett is a she or a he? I am completely serious. If she's something in between give me the story! Scarlet is a male-to-female transgender, you can look up Scarlett's redit post about that. So in reality there's a "male brain" winning this thing, and it aint such a "revolution" after all. Her being transgender would imply it's a female brain. Also, it's pretty obvious that women at this point can't really compete because they tend to play video games much less and not because of their brains.
Well its just cuz they loose 1 week of practice each month,it adds up over time on how much practice is lost.
