🏆 The Premier League is Watched Everywhere
The Premier League (where Arsenal and Man City play) is watched in over 188 countries around the world! That means more countries watch English football than there are countries in the whole United Nations!

Coachella takes place in the Coachella Valley desert in California, where temperatures can reach up to 40°C (104°F)! Performing on stage in a custom Dior outfit in that heat takes some serious dedication! ☀️

An official NBA basketball weighs about 623 grams, almost exactly the same as a medium-sized pineapple! Next time you hold a pineapple, imagine dribbling it like Shai Gilgeous-Alexander! 🍍
