It’s World Cup season and it’s all anyone seems to be talking about this week.
The major sporting event — built on the backs of brutal working conditions for migrant workers — is heading into the semifinals after some tense games last week.
The opening game has 7.2 million viewers in the United States, with an estimated average 227.7 million viewers of the games worldwide every day.
Have you been watching the games? Did you tune in for a single specific game or team, or have you mostly opted out?
