Why doesn't anyone care about hockey?
it's white
we can't see the puck
>>155594685Cus it doesn’t snow below à certain line and these last few Championship games were some shit like Las Vegas vs Georgia. Those championship teams cities don’t even fucking have snow, it’s as souless as all the oil teams in soccer
It's a Canadian sport and we have 10% the population of the USA. I wish it was less popular if anything. Without exception everything they do to "grow the game" makes it less kino.
>>155594685You can't really play hockey unless your parents have disposable income. For football and soccer you literally just need a grass field and for your friend to bring a ball. Even stick ball you can play with your friends by stealing a tennis ball that they hit outside the court.
>>155594685the sport is mostly about tackle maxxing, and that's dumb and boring.
>>155594809Except make the puck neonIt's that ez
>>155594685What the fuck is March Madness? I assume National Champioship is the infamous huge day for college football.
>>155594685Needs more diversity
>>155594841College basketball
>>155594685Because the people that care about hockey are usually social pariahs
>>155594685playoffs are too long.Shorten the season
Same thing as soccer. People won't watch the Stanley cup but will watch international. Even here it is true.
>>155594685I only just learned the Stanley cup is a best of 7 - how fucking shit, just make it one decisive game
>>155594685It's too white
>>155594841Its actually for basketball, its a lot like the World Cup in style actually, there is a big group stage and then round of 64, which is what FIFA is considering changing the WC too actually.>>155594685I think more people appreciate Hockey than like it, its a sport for strong, tough, whites to show their stuff. They jumped the shark badly by allowing stupid teams from warm weather states and downplayed the fighting.
I like hockey but the huge amount of games makes the sport feel less special. Someone won, who cares
>>155594887Hockey has much more variance than football. The worst team in the league can luck into beating the best team.
>>155594887They also give a cuck point for overtime loses, which is lame. Vegas snuck in because of that.
>>155594938I agree the regular season should be like half as long. I never watch except for the playoffs. Why do you need an 82 game 8 month long group stage to qualify for the real competition
Doesn't get promoted here like the other sports. Jews don't like it, too White.
>>155594685Because there's no civic pride in either of those teams. What Hockey culture do a City in the semitropical Southeast and one the middle of the Southwestern Desert have on about Ice Hockey.
Americans will watch but if its best on best international Kind of like comparing the world cup to MLS TV ratings
>>155594685You can't force hockey in the sunbelt. It just becomes more a consumer product than a sport in the south and as a stand alone product it's kinda shit. there needs to be hockey played at a grassroots level but no one in the south is filling tarps with water in their backyards and letting it freeze to play hockey and no one is playing it in frozen rivers or lakes. the jew commissioner doesn't understand this, he thinks with enough advertizing anything can be turned into an appealing consumable product.
>>155594685Not enough ngubus for the hat people to invest in it
>>15559468599.99% of the games are locked behind a pay wall. You don't care about something you never see.
>>155595095It's dying in Canada, too. Outside of major cities there's a lack of public rinks for casual play and playing competitively is prohibitively expensive for 90% of the population. I grew up relatively poor and my parents struggled to pay for me to play for a few years. Now it's much more expensive and people are much more poor.
>>155595167True, basketball is becoming our new #1 sport
>>155595206Lame
>>155595273Toronto won a championship and a Canadian is MVP. It's our sport now
1. gary has been pushing hard for sunbelt states that dont care about hockey2. the gary knights are a joke and the canes were always going to rape them3. broadcasting for NHL is probably the worst out of the major sports
>>155594887Same reason golf tournaments are 4 rounds, Someone can go nuts the first round and then suck ass the rest. Proving they are not the real champion.
>>155594915There's not a group stage for march madness lmao it's just the regular season
>>155595302I mean it was your sport from the beginning. Naismith is one of the great Canadians to find fame in America, up there with Mike Myers (Shrek) and William Shatner (TJ Hooker)
>>155595206What about CFL? is there no hope for a revival?
>>155595472The regular season is just a big group stage
>>155594685Too White. Americans worship POC. Note that the only in-game homicide in pro hockey history was done by a POC. Zero prison time. Standing ovation in his first game back. Still playing.
>>155594685Bettet question is why are there 100 million superbowl viewers who don't watch cfb. Maybe some only watch their team
>>155595095street hockey is a thing. Rollerblades, a tennis ball, and a stick.
>>155595710Super Bowl is an event that people throw parties for. It's a social event. A lot of women watch it that don't normally watch sports. They watch for the commercials and the gay halftime show.
>>155595616cfl is in a odd place right now, multiple teams changed ownership and the new owners tend to be way richer, think 3 of the 9 teams have billionaire ownership now, but they want to change a lot of the rules and make it more american style, there's rumors about some sort of merger with a secondary american league for a better tv deal>>155595710ota network vs espnsunday afternoon vs monday night
>>155594685all boring awful sports that cant compare to football
>>155595710I don't care about kids who aren't very good at the sport and will probably flare out in the actual game
>>155595915Yeah, but that's compensation
>>155596861you mean biathlon, pablo. the most kino of all sports.
>>155595358Gary knights won a cup already though retard. It was time for Gary canes to win since they handed a free ride to the finals
>>155597671no different than street soccer or backyard football.
>>155594685You have to pay to watch NHL hockey games on TV. NHL is a top ticket seller as well. It's a wealthy people's sport.
>>155595915>a tennis balllol
>>155598568>tpLeafs really are retarded lmao. Only place that cares about hockey yet can't win at it anymore. Its moved down to the fifth most watched sport and we mog you
>>155594685Because boring cities keep reaching the final.
>>155599112kino post. raleigh didn't belong in the finals but it was rigged for them thoever
>>155599252>>155599112>only Los Angeles, New York, and Miami should be allowed to win
>>155599646wrong>only Los Angeles, New York, Miami, and Vegas should be allowed to win
>>155599699Vegas teams are plastic as shit, and it's way too hot for outdoors sports (perfect for basketball, they should've gotten an NBA team before an NFL team)
>>155599112yeah nobody cares about Edmonton
>>155595616Boomers leauge More people actually follow the NFL than cfl hwre
>>155599974plastic how? people really love the nhl team there. oh and the wnba.
make it more exciting
>>155594817Soccer is apparently one of the more expensive sports to play for youth in the US
>>155600835that makes no fucking sense. like at all
>>155594685The teams in the finals were boring and have no fanbases outside of their cities.
>>155600835That is for organized soccer with refs and uniforms and I'm shit. I'm talking about playing with your friends and other kids from the neighborhood.
>>155594685Superbowl is basically a national holiday, nothing else ratings-wise will come close. Too many playoffs are way too drawn out.
>>155595694This should have been said much earlier. It has taken the crown of 'cuckiest sport'.
>>155603382Okay retard. The canes had several darkies in their team and they won the cup so...
