They paid The Rock and UFL $11 million, and he didn't even make as many social media posts as he agreed.
The UFL deal was so catastrophic, it led to a projected loss of 38 enlistments, an internal review of the plan shows.
I don't know how they came up with a negative number here, but they found a way.
Meanwhile, Gen Z has almost completely moved away from traditional television and is significantly less interested in sports compared to other generations -- 33% of Gen Zers do not watch live sports compared to 22% of Millennials, according to a 2022 Morning Consult poll.
Excellent. More and more people are tuning out.
But part of the Army's marketing strategy is also reaching parents and older people who may be in a potential recruit's orbit, given young Americans spend much of their viewing time on TikTok, which the Pentagon is barred from advertising on because of concerns on Capitol Hill that the platform's parent company can give sensitive user data to the Chinese government.
They can't advertise to their target audience because they've been captured by a Chinese platform, what a shit show. If they push for something major like a regime change in Iran, it's going to be a huge disaster.
They probably counted anyone who signed up for the free hats and shit but didn’t sign the devil’s contract. I did it to fulling knowing I couldn’t join due to my health and still got patches and hats from all 4 branches.
This is statistics. You aren't been given the question or the parameters, which means those are likely why the number seems so wild.
I'd wager its because the bar is so low that "watching the game a little while at the bar for something else" qualifies. Or that even esports matches do.
You misread. It isn't 78% watch, it's 22% don't watch.
The affirmative statement, statistics-wise, is important.
Someone who says "I don't eat asparagus" as a declaration is very different than someone who just doesn't generally eat asparagus in their life's flow.
Part of zoomers not watching live sports is probably because they don't watch broadcast TV, and there's no option to watch live sports for free online that's as simple as Youtube or Tiktok and allowed on the app stores.
Zoomers don’t watch sports for the same reason they don’t watch movies or television, let alone read: tiktok brain. Short form video content is like concentrated sugar for your mind. It’s horrible for your mental faculties.
I’ve done it before. I’ve gotten stuck in the video shorts blender on YouTube. It’s an insanely deleterious experience that impacts your brain for hours. I can’t imagine what happens to kids with still-developing brains.
I don't know how they came up with a negative number here, but they found a way.
I feel like they're a little incentivized to scapegoat the rock for more of the falling recruitment than is really true. Because he can be replaced and they can just go "whoopsie, let me try that again!", whilst the alternative is admitting the army's own behavior has tarnished it's reputation so badly that nothing they can do will salvage the generational bad blood they have created.

Eighty fucking percent of millennials watch live sports? Eight zero? I thought sportsball was a meme.

Great point. I just realized the guy I know who only cares about F1 would technically be in that 80%. Still, I was really scared for a moment.
Nascar would also count, and I think that's an entirely different demographic compared to what the word "millennial" conjures up for us.
Heck anyone who is watching the Olympics right now would qualify, even just for the memes.
As a full grown 32 year old that the closest I’ve ever gotten to “sports” is pro-wrestling to think I’d also be included in that 80% is scary…
Millenials are basically middle aged at this point if not older. Gen x is old. Boomer is ancient.
My point is that most millenials are part of the old order.

How dare the chynese interfere with recruitment of our zogbots, they must be punished!
