Who are you talking to?
I already said that what Aris said was meaningless because he doesn't have statistics either.
Football or any other sport doesn't change the way the game is played every few years the comparison doesn't make sense the way you want it to.
The thing that changes is the people that consist the teams and their performance and even though teams go through periods where they play badly there are still people watching.
edit : For what it is worth, i don't think there are that many people who hate the game and still watch it i just don't agree with the narrative that people that express dislike for sfv don't actually dislike it and they still watch it for that reason.
Yeah, and then you referenced my quote as a meaningless too, which makes no sense because it's logically more sound than Aris and wouldn't need stats to back it up. That's why I think it's some flat earth level conspiracy shit. Really not fair to compare my comment to the level of Aris, but whatever.
Sure, maybe my analogy isn't 1:1 with the sports thing. That's why I mentioned video games in that same post you just quoted.
And for what it's worth, I never said there aren't out there watching primarily for Punk or other players. People have various reasons as to why they watch something. But to assume it's because it's for the players mostly, that's absurd. If dozens are doing that, cool. But the assumption that people have been hate watching/ watching for players as the biggest reason for the majority of the viewers is outright dumb. Those numbers aren't coming from a bunch of dudes who are wiling to sit there day after day, tournament after tournament, and view a game they hate because they think Tokido is a cool dude.
