I GOT REAL STATISTICS!

[blackdog4444]

You know how DSF aka Polite used to post the 99% crap or "millions upon millions" deal and never produced any numbers? WELL HERE YA GO! [someone doesn't know how to use Google] These are all based on the U.S. population.

http://pewresearch.org/pubs/?ChartID=138 for Fantasy Sports statistics.

http://pewresearch.org/pubs/?ChartID=135 General Sports Fan Demographics.

Those are only a couple of the charts, but you can browse the side options to the right. I'd look for more but I don't wanna start just setting up random links - just makes me feel like one of those fail spammers that comes around once in a while.

That's VERY interesting. So less than half of American adults are interested in sports. THAT'S good news. I KNEW most people only tolerated that BS.

The demographic breakdown is interesting too --whether you're rich or poor, black, white, or other, about half of each group likes sports. That's worth pondering... what is it that crosses class lines so uniformly?

46% follow sports "very" or "somewhat" closely. Ouch!
I figured it would be much higher.
I guess maybe there is still hope.

Polite24 has been proven wrong. I bet he won't care to respond.

Polite24 never said 99% of people like sports, just that 99% percent of sports fans don't fit into the way they are stereotyped here or something like that

Still proven wrong.

46 percent is pretty fucking good. Are you guys kidding?

And I never said 99 percent of people like sports.

What about that 54%?

[Polite24]

You think 46 percent of people play video games?

Well, I'm glad that only 46% percent follow sports, so there is still hope for the human race.

But that 46% percent are 100% percent MORONS!!!

[Polite24]

Fat Man, just about how many of those 46 percent do you personally know?

When I was in high school, most of the sports fans that I personally knew were MORONS!!!

Same was true when I went to college.

You keep forgetting. I'm 57 years old, soon to be 58, so I have lived enough years to have known far more sports fans than you have known.

95% of 12-18 year olds play video games, so it's plausible.

More than half of American adults age 18 and older (53%) play video games, and about one-in-five adults (21%) play everyday or almost everyday. While the number of video gamers among adults is substantial, it is still well under the number of teens who play. Fully 97% of teens play video games.


soooo.........
