The word rhetoric refers to the techniques, language and other elements used with the purpose of persuading or convincing others. In general terms, there are three main appeals or techniques used in rhetoric this includes the pathos that relies on emotions to persuade, the ethos that relies on the credibility of the speaker and the logos that relies on logical arguments and facts such as statistics, studies, etc. In the case of the excerpt presented the speaker or writer uses details such as "over 600 million households tune in to one or more games of the English Premier League" or "the 2006 World Cup final drew 716 million viewers" that are mainly statistics or facts to persuade the audience and therefore, this is an example of logos as it relies on logic and facts to persuade rather than on credibility or emotions.
