    More people in Canada watch curling than hockey. I think you need some new acquaintances. Right now Canada is playing men’s curling and men’s hockey, everyone I know is watching curling.

      I’m skeptical of this - where do you get those figures from?

      Objective counter-evidence: Why are they not selling out big stadiums if spectating is that popular?

      Anecdotal counter-evidence: I hear people talk about hockey matches, I rarely hear people talk about curling matches.

      They’re both good sports and I like both, I’d like to try curling sometime.
      But surface level evidence suggests you’re incorrect, so you need to provide more convincing evidence
