Man City charges give The Athletic FC Podcast a runaway episode
A day-old conversation about the fallout is moving faster on its own than the whole channel usually does, and its comment section is unusually busy.
The Athletic FC PodcastStory of Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 440,598 views a day, 18 times a normal first day on this channel (24,982).
Man City charges: The fallout + what happens next?
The Athletic FC Podcast turned the Manchester City charges into a single episode, "Man City charges: The fallout + what happens next?", and within a day it had passed nearly 200,000 views.
That opening is close to eighteen times what a new upload on this channel normally manages. It is also running ahead of the channel's entire usual daily pace, a rare sight for one video. Viewers are talking too: the comments have piled up quickly next to the likes, a busier discussion than a football podcast clip usually draws.
The channel is the podcast arm of The Athletic, the sports outlet owned by The New York Times. Its title makes two promises: an account of the fallout, and a look at what comes next. The second half of that question is the one this audience seems keen to argue about.
