National Poll: Have you traveled further than 100 miles to attend a sporting event?


Yes: 40.4%
Never: 59.6%
Men: 42.3% 57.7%
Women: 36.7% 63.3%
Prediction Accuracy: 49.1%

This is the first time I've ever seen a Yes/No question go Yes/Never. I wonder what that is trying to say for the person who wrote this. The statewide results for this are not surprising. The "Yes" states are pretty much all of the plain states where you have to travel pretty far to get to a big city. Can't think of too many major sports teams around those areas.

Worldwide Poll: Which would you prefer to watch, baseball or soccer?


Baseball: 45.7%
Soccer: 54.3%
Men: 45.9% 54.1%
Women: 45.3% 54.7%
Prediction Accuracy: 64.5%

Didn't think that many US people liked Soccer.
