Volleyball / Re: Volleyball is the Olympics' most watched sport
« on: July 30, 2012, 09:15:53 am »is that true or did you make it up? my extremely brief google search showed that, based on the number of articles published about each type of event, the most "popular" summer olympics sport was athletics by a long way; volleyball was 16th. http://www.topendsports.com/world/lists/popular-sport/olympics.htm.
not hating, i like watching volleyball a lot. have you seen viewership data? can you send it? i'm genuinely curious.
The combination of the two disciplines, indoor and beach combine to be the most viewed overall sport, I believe. At least, that's what I was told by the director of Volleyball Australia.
i see. well, i can't find anything on this and, despite my near-overwhelming desire to find viewership data broken down by sport, i have to stop. one of you fuckers without a job, go look this up.
by the metric in the article i linked to, beach and indoor combined would be the 7th-most-popular sport.
