AURA. 🇺🇸

@AreX_CorSa @iJusep_ @Berissinho The stadium is at capacity. Check again

@TheEXECUTlONER_ Every banner hanging on the street lights were about the World Cup

[Spartan @jpbritta]

@HughMeecha9738 @bitcoindata21 The phrase “ever again” was really important in my statement. You stated an event in the past.

[Spartan @jpbritta]

@DanielH_LUFC It’s honestly pretty impressive how little you know about college athletics.

[Spartan @jpbritta]

@FCBTechnoflash @GBarca_ Because the US isn’t the only one hosting. Canada and Mexico also are. A little hard to make it US themed

[Spartan @jpbritta]

@LALACMSEA So you mock America’s most popular sport but want are mad at the belief that American’s don’t care about yours? Do you see the flawed logic?

[Spartan @jpbritta]

@Logicull It’s really interesting that Europeans refuse to embarrass another culture outside of their own.

[Spartan @jpbritta]

@CosmedHotline You all are on social media too much. You would be very safe in the US.

[Spartan @jpbritta]

@Chude_ND1 As an American, we’re all very aware. We also have the NBA finals and NHL finals going on at this very moment. This is a sports country. Don’t worry. The WC will be amazing.

[Spartan @jpbritta]

@amelia_tweetz Yes, actually I am. I live in NC and have tickets to 2 games in Kansas City.

To slightly modify the quote from Mike Tyson, Social media made y’all (Europens) way too comfortable with disrespecting America and not getting punched in the face for it. All this trash talking about the US hosting the World Cup. Social media is not reality #WorldCup

@JustinMacmahan There’s “contact to the knee” because SGA kicks out his foot. There is no contact caused by the defender.

@Its_BigBro @Efffmac @AJsHoopHype 1am? You clearly have my location & timezone wrong. You sound stupid

[Spartan @jpbritta]

@Efffmac @Its_BigBro @AJsHoopHype Part 2: Meanwhile, NBC had games the literal next day do 6.3M (Celtics vs Houston) and 6.2M (Lakers vs Rockets), and NBC’s broader real stat is playoff coverage averaging 4.9M and highest overall since 1996. This specific ‘record’ is just slicing the data until it sounds historic

[Spartan @jpbritta]

@Efffmac @Its_BigBro @AJsHoopHype Part 1: 3.3M is a good number but this graphic is classic media-spin. ‘Most watched in a comparable window since 2014’ means ‘for this exact Saturday afternoon timeslot on this specific network combo.’ NBC’s own release admits that.

[Spartan @jpbritta]

@Efffmac @Its_BigBro @AJsHoopHype Partially, yes, they got that slot because OKC is a less desirable team to watch.
It was being sold they’d had the highest first round viewership in the overall thread. It’s just an important distinction to make hence me calling out the caveat.

[Spartan @jpbritta]

@Its_BigBro @AJsHoopHype “In Comparable Window” is a pretty big caveat

[Spartan @jpbritta]

If OKC is the future of the NBA then unfortunately the product is going to be unwatchable.
