It's Officially Football: Inter Miami's Instagram Gains 5 Million Followers In 24 Hours After Signing Messi

Just another reminder that we're just a pawn to the real biggest sport in the world. Inter Miami's Instagram account now sits at almost 6 million at this time of writing, which is more than any NFL, NHL, MLB, or MLS team, a day after signing Messi to bring him stateside. Bro hasn't even put on the jersey yet and tickets already jumped from $40 a pop to well over $800 just to get in the building to see him play anywhere. Cry about it, but this is the likely the biggest signing in American sports history. Securing the last few truly great years of Messi is going to explode the MLS and soccer in America. Not that anyone listens to PTI anymore, but hearing Wilbon and Kornheiser rant about how the signing isn't a big deal and will just blow over was the funniest shit ever. We're barely 24 hours in and this has happened:

If you're Inter Miami, you might as well just play every game at Hard Rock Stadium that sits 65,000 instead of their current one that only sits 18k. Whenever people ask why the Saudis offered him $1.6 billion for a 3 year contract, just show them this blog and remember that your favorite athlete's favorite athlete is the boy from Rosario.
