It's crazy how hard the NFL mogs every other american sport
>>
>>151182730
9 million out of 350? The numbers don't add up what the fuck.
Not even a quarter of your population is interested in sports?
>>
>>151184389
NFL is a 32 team league that has 16 games, most of them sharing the same time slots. 144m total views a week is not bad.
>>
>>151182730
>>
>>151184486
>country of 320 million
>only 32 teams
wtf. You should have alot more lover tier leagues, then state leagues and state lower tier leagues. All with relegations. Every shitty little town should have it's own stadium and a atleast semi professional team

We do, it's called high school and college football. picrel is a high school football game

They do. Every high school has a football stadium, even the small rural towns.

Here's a pic of college football. It's a huge deal all over the country with many stadiums regularly getting 80k+ attendance.
>>
>>151188482
who the fuck wants to watch kids play ball? Now college ones, throw the players out of school and give them real contracts
>>
>>151188548
>who the fuck wants to watch kids play ball?
many people do apparently https://youtu.be/VypxiD8GOxY (this is a college game, not an NFL game)
>>
yuros are thinking about usa again
>>
Because its an actual physical sport that requires a ton of effort and physical talent unlike
>ngubu who's 7 foot puts ball in hoop
>110 lb ngubu who runs a 4.5 40 goes 0-0 over 90 minutes
>>
>>151188746
Not random as fuck like luckswing too.
>>
>>151188764
Or as niche/equipment intensive as hockey
>>
>>151182730
I had no idea the nhl was that popular
>>
I don't care for the nigger felon league
>>
>>151182730
I don't believe the NBA numbers for a second, money laundering racket of the highest degree
>>
>>151188394
We have Spring football and we have college football. Were never going to have lower tiers like in Europe, especially not with relegation. Owners don't want it and it's way too physical of a sport with injury luck playing a factor into how well a team does.
>>
>>151188394
That's called college football
>>
>>151192774
I don't like the NBA either
>>
>>151192774
Then go back to boreball, cuck. Or maybe you watch hockey, the official sport of autists in America.
>>
>>151188394
Including college (which is like minor professional at this point) there are like 1200 football teams

Basically every city over 100k in the USA has a professional or college team drawing 10’s of thousands of people a week
>>
>>151182730
>NHL is more popular in America than baseball, its national sport
Wut
>>
>>151194167
twice as many games though
>>
>>151194167
Baseball is a boomer sport. It's dying, zoomers don't care about it
>>
>>151194167
It's a measure of average viewership per-game. An NFL team will play only 17 regular season games. NHL teams play 82 regular season game. Baseball has a 162 game regular season. fewer games = more viewers per-game.

>>151188394
It doesn't use a club system. The NFL is a closed-league franchise system.
>"that's stupid"
Sure, but that's how it is.
>>
>>151188394
Don’t tell us how we should be doing stuff you fuckwad
>>
>>151194167
Its not more popular in the United States. Canadians are fanatic about hockey, thats why
>>
NFL is the only one where you can watch your team for free
>>
>>151182730
>MLB
>less watched than >NHL
>>
>>151188394
No one wants to watch ahitty quarterbacks. Football is a game that doesn't scale well to minor pro levels
>>
>>151199171
Imagine watching game 100 of 162 when you've been eliminated from the playoffs 20 games ago and it's being played at 1PM on a Wednesday
>>
>>151188482
>Every high school has a football stadium
There are many high schools in the US with better stadiums than 2nd division European soccer teams.
>>
>>151199404
half of our 1st division divegrass teams don't have such a nice stadium tbqh
>>
>>151199121
*legally
>>
>>151194167
It isn't. Baseball just has so many games that people aren't going to tune in for all of them.
>>
>>151184389
Correct
>>
>>151193937
College thing bothers me. Can't you have it without college. Good players move into pro leagues, what happens with those not good enough? They just stop playing when they aren't even at their peak? 10s of thousands people watching them means there is interest and a market for them to play
>>
>>151184389
Do you really think an account called yahoonfl would excessively overstate the achievements of the NFL? Meds now!
>>
>>151203671
Would you put your body and health on the line for chump change?
>>
>>151199404
>All that plentiful parking
Do the teachers of the school park there when there isn’t a game on?
>>
There's less games in football so more people watch them. If MLB and NBA only played 17 games a year, only 1 per week, the viewing numbers would go way up
>>
>>151182730
>watching constant commercials and breaks in the action
>constant flags because nogs can’t stand in a straight line
Nice sport you got there, L’Quarius Darius
>>
>>151182730
Honestly, considering how many MLB matches there are in a single season that is insanely impressive. Truly America's favorite pastime.
>>
>>151203671
>what happens with those not good enough?
They move on with their lives, most players have degrees from finishing college and can adjust anyway. Some also just go to CFL (the canadian league)
>10s of thousands people watching them means there is interest and a market for them to play
Lower leagues have been created (USFL, XFL, UFL) but they always go bankrupt because no one cares about them, people would rather watch NFL and college.
>>
>>151182730
Kek my Dukies average 2 million views a game and get up to 15 million views in pre final four matchups. Duke basketball shits on most pro teams
>>
>>151184389
That’s tv viewership unc
>>
>>151188525
Don't be disingenuous and not include the caveat that only white trash red neck regions give a shit about college football. Most people who live in a real state don't give a fuck about college especially if they have no affiliation with those schools
>>
>>151216621
They have no competition in the summer except MLS. Most people turn on the game and have it on playing in the background, not really paying attention until they hear the crack of the bat hitting the ball
>>
>>151221147
The white trash red neck regions of Michigan and Ohio?
>>
DUDE MOG LMAO
>>
>>151221147
cfb is fucking huge. The stadium turnout blows worldwide soccer out the ass. The HS football games in libshit cites are the same as professional soccer in the same area.
>>
>>151182730
>premier league bar didn't fit
>>
>>151188792
Hockey does remove the socioeconomic factor
>>
>>151188394
College football is the lower tier league, that's how it is and trying to start other spring leagues like the USFL is stupid because it'll never be as popular as college.
>>
>>151221571
He's kinda right tho, schools like Cal and USC don't get full capacity crowds.
>>
>>151198546
>allow me to tell you about your country
>>
>>151221147
Lmao shut the fuck up
>>
>>151182730
those are national ratings, more people watch local MLB than local NHL or NBA
>>
>>151182730

Australia gets 614k per game for our biggest sport with 1/27th the population.
614k *27=16.5 million

I know Australia is crazy over sports but didn’t realise we watch it that much more than Americans.
>>
>>151221294
Yeah retard definitely white trash. What, you thought it was LA or NYC? Kek
>>
>>151188394
Nigga we have colleges in bum fuck nowhere towns with 100k seat football stadiums
>>
>>151221571
Why is it that the highest attended college stadiums are all in states you couldn't pay me to live in? The point still stands. College football is for shit states that nobody wants to live in
>>
>>151188394
Football is way too violent and dangerous for grown men to be playing unless they can make big money in the NFL. Baseball has a system more familiar to europoor with their minor leagues
>>
>>151231019

Nvm fucked up the math we have 1/13th the population and watch 7.8 million on average if converted to americas population.
That’s because our 2 biggest sports are split a lot more evenly though, not one sport miles ahead like USA.
>>
>>151221147
Power house teams like Ohio State and Michigan are some of the richest universities in the world you dumb fuck
>>
>>151231051
>LA
Not like USC is one of the greatest football teams in NCAA history...
>>
>>151194167
There's double the games in basedball and in person attendance is significantly more, also hasn't been the national sport since the invention of TV
>>
>>151231302
Florida, Texas and the south are taking over the country
>>
>>151231448
I see your reading comprehension skills validate my point
>>
>>151231494
And yet nobody goes to their games except rich white people. Nobody gives a fuck about USC football anymore once Pete left. UCLA the other day against Pedo State couldn't even fill half the stadium. LA Galaxy vs LAFC gets 80k in that stadium. Californians don't give a fuck about college football. Neither do New Yorkers or anybody in the Northeast
>>
>>151231448
>Ohio State
>Richest
Who let this retard on the internet
>>
>>151221147

>Syracuse
>Notre Dame
>Miami
>Southern California
>>
>>151188746
>charge into each other
>take a break every 15 seconds
>commercials galore

yup, that's a real sport alright
>>
>>151235190
2 of those don't belong with the rest. I'll let you figure it out champ
>>
ITT seething rednecks and white trash mad that the rest of the country doesn't give a fuck about inferior college football
>>
>>151194167
ever watched a game of baseball? its boring as fuck.

Every other sport is too many games. NFL games are 18 weeks in and out. Games played same day same time. There’s no reason NBA and NHL should be 82 games. It’s because of revenue more than anything. Don’t even get me started on baseball. 162 game season is just nutty for only 12 teams to make the playoffs. NFL is also the best to gamble on and the og of fantasy sports,
>>
>>151242788
NFL is definitely not the OG of fantasy. Baseball is. Look up rotisserie leagues
>>
Is there any major professional sports league in North America that ranks below Major League Soccer?
>>
>>151243245
Nope. Dead last. I watch EPL champions league and Serie A but honestly would never watch MLS but it does have a cult following. The people into it are super into it.
>>
>>151243245
WNBA, CFL, UFL, G league, USL, Formula 1, Mexican baseball league, Canadian Premier League
>>
>>151182730
>MLB mogged by NHL
Nice
>>
>>151243357
The Canadian Premier League and the CFL (Canadian Football League) are based

The UFL is superior.
The NFL is racist and inferior.

Formula 1 has more history and recognition than NASCAR.

What happened to the National Lacrosse League?

The NFL televises games. The other leagues only televise a small handful of games and play the rest on sports network channels that cost money.
>>

It’s so funny when yuros say “who wants to watch kids play” when they watch u16 World Cup and Euro matches and cum in their pants every time some 18 year old Brazilian “wunderkid” makes their debut. You love watching kids play sports.
>>
>>151188394
Why do eurofags think relegation is the solution to everything?
>>
>>151244138
it is
>>
>>151244722
Agree. You shouldn’t be rewarded for tanking with a number 1 draft pick you should drop down a league. Problem is we don’t have a system of professional sports we just like exploiting kids on the cheap.
>>
>>151233990
its true theyre too busy protesting blumf or volunteering at their local homeless shelters
