Every year the same thing happens with people who really like American football and who in times of playoffs want to compare the Mx League or the Mexican soccer team against the NFL; in this case it was the game of Mexico vs Costa Rica in the schedule of both games of the finals of both NFL conferences and neither of the two games could at least come close to the numbers of the national team game.
Although the games we have seen in the NFL playoffs have been very good and the ratings have been good, they are still far from the place that national soccer has at the level of the Mx League or the National Team. That week from January 24 to 30, the top 5 of sporting events on television were, according to the HR Ratings page, the following:
1.Futbol: Jamaica vs Mexico – Channel 5 (remember that this game was only broadcast by them).
2. Soccer: Mexico vs Costa Rica – Azteca 7
3. Soccer: Mexico vs Costa Rica – The Stars
4. Box Azteca – Azteca 7
5. Sports Contact – The Stars
The difference between first and fifth place is more than double, as Jamaica vs Mexico had 7.7 points and the Sports Contact program 3.4 points, what we can see is that there is no NFL game in that ranking and that they were one of the most interesting games before the Super Bowl, what yes and it must be said is all the sales that these games have, especially on Televisa, where their business may be, by having an event that may not leave as much rating but that leaves the channels with good accounts due to the sale it generates.
lawsuits that are not lawsuits
If what Televisa lacked was for someone from the same product to tell them their things, it happened with Memo Ochoa’s statement at the end of the Mexico game vs Panama, where he reproached his former teammates for forgetting that they were also on that side and also suffered hardships like the team currently does.
Of course Paco Villa very cleverly in the post-game commented this to Oswaldo Sánchez and Rafa Márquez, who were there and, without meaning to, brought the controversy to the TUDN table, something that one sees in life but that It can give them a good boost in this fight that they bring against TV Azteca for the rating.
By the way, the fight on Twitter between Paco Chacón and Chiquimarco yes, it was very forced and it only made people lean towards Chacón who, with his status as a MasterChef star, is more liked by the public than his former partner who is in TUDN.
