So you took a generic term and compare it to a more specific term lol, maybe compare it to 'the batter got bowled out with only 5 runs' and I think most people would understand it.

I saw yesterday one dude claiming how NFL is much bigger than the soccer World Cup because his friends and neighbors don’t watch it!

Superbowl(the final game) brings in 100m views. Cricket and Soccer matches bring in views in the billions.

Americans are funny, man!

I don't think most people in the world would, no. Hence the confusion any time there's a cricket post on r/sports.

You realise r/sports is not a good representation of the world right?

Of course an American dominated site is going to understand American football more than cricket.

My point is that most of the world doesn't understand cricket, so people should stop getting buttmad every time there are confused comments on cricket posts on r/sports. I don't know why that's apparently such a controversial position.

If that's your point you should have communicated it better as saying nfl is less niche than cricket is wrong or at least debatable.
