INTERNET - Journalists across sports were, reportedly, baffled why a game with expensive tickets scheduled on a Tuesday at 3pm after a 3 day holiday weekend between two non-local clubs for a non-prestigious trophy isn’t sold out as they posted pictures to social media.
“It doesn’t look good,” stated the journalist who didn’t have to pay for their ticket or take time off work to be at the game. ”It’s really not a great sign of the standing of the sport in this country.”
Sources say that the amount of people who actually did show up at 3 PM on a Tuesday is actually pretty amazing when you factor in that virtually no one in the United States actually gives a flying shit about the club world cup.
“It’s a testament to how these brands have built their fanbases that this stadium isn’t completely empty,” stated one researcher. “Frankly I’m disappointed there are this many people here in the first place.”
The Nutmeg News will have more on this as soccer journalists write another think piece about what this means for the World Cup.
