how come nba players are more popular than nfl players

53 members of a team compared to 11

22 people on the field at the same time, 100 yard field and helmets. 10 guys, no helmets, faces exposed on a 75 foot surface.

If you don't notice the NBA completely markets PLAYERS while the NFL markets the team. NBA is a much more individualistic sport by nature, whereas the NFL is more of a machine type sport, everyones a cog in the machine.

In the NBA you get to see the personalities of players a whole lot more than you do in the NFL, hence the popularity/hatred some player receive.

NBA is a star driven league, football is a team driven league, plus they have helmets, if white people saw what some of these football players looked like, under there helmet they would be shook

Ok, then you're a fool. Sorry, you just are.

You don't have to understand every last detail to enjoy the game.

I enjoy basketball and I understand not much of it, not to the details.

World wide is different, but I said America. You're just trolling and it's obvious.

You're just talking shyt straight out of your ass. My mom loves football and she has no idea what a cover 2 zone is or a screen pass and why it works.

I guess I'm the only one that has allowed the over glorification and league mandated protection of white pocket passers to damper my interest in the game...

A lot of those games last year were straight up flag football status.. The overall quality of play was horrible imo..


At this point the NFL is behind college football, pro and college hoops as far as interest my house..


But NFL will have the complete allegience of the American public because of the Fantasy leagues and gambling aspect at this point.. So even if the quality isn't there it's still gonna do Thriller numbers...

It comes on once a week. :yeshrug:

Nah, it's not that simple.

It's part of it, but nowhere near that simple.

The NBA championship could be decided in one game and it wouldn't do much more numbers than it's highest rating does now.

That's a major reason it's so popular.

16 game season and they only play once a week. Every game is important and each one feels like an event and they're played on a day where most people have the day off, so everyone can watch (during the day too, not at night like everything else).

There's a week of hype leading up to every game. No other sport has that. You're underestimating the effect that has on people.

If the NFL had three/four games a week like the NBA, it'd be totally different.

US numbers. Nielson ratings

NFL is low on the totem pole worldwide, it completely dominates the States though

exactly, if you were to look at the worldwide numbers, NBA surpasses NFL easily.

but still..over 100+ million viewers in america alone is INSANE. that's like 1/3 of all americans watching!

football really is america's passtime..
