Maybe I misread the data. I Googled the same question. "how many girls in the US play soccer" and "how many girls in the US play basketball". Maybe it was lazy research on my part, but I assumed they were registered to play in actual organized events, from youth to college. Was that not the case for the basketball numbers I posted?

I don't know, it depends what they were referring to by "participants". I would need to see the full article.

I'm not familiar with how these rec leagues work. Do you have to register with U.S. Soccer to participate in a soccer league? How about basketball?

Victim report.

Get to the top of your profession.....and complain about it.

Yes, well, black, gay and female might check all the boxes of the self-identified oppressed.
But in terms of 'the market' its about as appealing as a dirt parking lot in a downpour.

The Times listed who they were backing in every race the other day. I didn't dig real deep, but they didn't list parties, so there was no way to know that every body they backed was a Dem.

Like I said, it was lazy research on my part. All I did was two Google Searches. Girls in the US that play Basketball and Girls in the US that play Soccer. The sentences I quoted popped up first.

I lost a couple of girls from the team I was coaching because they wanted to concentrate on basketball. No big deal but I would guess more kids under the age of 12 play soccer. After that, once they hit Middle School, it may be that soccer still leads but as the girls get older, they kinda split off to basketball.

Honestly, neither sport is going to be a top headliner in the U.S. The competition at the highest level is more interesting. But I have to admit I prefer watching Women's Soccer more than Men's. The game is slower, so I can watch the tactics set up more. Personal preference, I suppose.
