OK, I'm not a fan of women's figure skating. But, in olympic years it has the highest rating of ANY sporting event except the super bowl. That's a fact. Figure skating is the ONLY sporting event (besides superbowls) to crack the top ratings for all-time television shows.
As for the 1996 survey, it's the best comprehensive one I could find. But here's a bunch of other more recent surveys which highlight how enormously unpopular soccer is in the united states:
first
second
third
fourth
Does anyone deny that pro wrestling receives better ratings than soccer??
