Please name a city which has an mls and NHL team where the former is bigger. The kraken are already bigger than the sounders here.
Has the MLB lapped the NBA?

You can make the case for the bigger soccer leagues like EPL being as big as the NHL. MLS is a hard no imo

It’s a strange thread
The bball Olympic final game in 2024 drew 23 million on a Sunday afternoon, which was more than the WBC final
But more than anything, I will never understand why people care about TV ratings. It’s weird

They're neck and neck. Both are #1 and #2 however you slot them.
I will say that the Dodgers better not visit the White House this season. They'll lose some fans over that
Wild thing is college bball is over mlb in alot of the nation
I lived in kansas city before the royals won their world series. Although you saw their gear everywhere no one gave af abt that team. Ku basketball was the biggest draw in the metro by far over anything that wasnt the chiefs. And after that it was other college sports

The EPL x NBC partnership is the biggest reason for soccer's growth in the US along with social media (lot of Americans got to see firsthand how big futbol fandoms are around the globe thanks to twitter & youtube).

MLS is definitely growing.
When Etihad Park is complete, that place is gonna be packed every night and will be one of the rare stadiums NYC got right.
Yea I know breh, Soccer itself is bigger than the NHL, but MLS is not was my point. Should’ve framed it better
It is, but imo I think MLS has a natural ceiling as a sports league because I don’t think it will ever be a top 5 soccer league in the world. Not its fault obviously, it’s only 30 years old. It just shows you how tough it was for the predecessor league like the NASL to succeed here.

It’s only a matter of time before MLS overtakes NHL, and that’s not even taking into consideration when the USL starts regulation in a year or so so the mid-tier and smaller markets will have their fix
And as someone who loves baseball- hell no MLB ain’t more popular now compared to the NBA
With that said, just watch the damn games man.
And it’s still fukk the Yankees

Because we're taught to believe that numbers keep you afloat, not the quality of your product.
I don't wanna hear anyone bytching about where you can watch a game when Americans will willingly ditch their families during the holidays to watch 2 NFL teams they don't even care for on a subscription service.
The real reason why fans hate this shyt is because unlike the NBA and NFL, we don't like national announcers. We prefer our local crews. We're accustomed to how we tune into games with a FOX exception here, a ESPN game there. Now that everyone wants to get in on sports, it's messing it up for everyone else. The biggest issue with older baseball fans is that they don't really mind if the game they love dies with them. Learned that from all the stories of Boomer Yankee fans who moved to Jersey as they got older and wanted the team to move with them, younger fans and Bronx fans be damned. I hate streaming, but everything's for sale now and the NFL showed the way.
