Nfl is a national sport....with some fans spread throughout the world though it's still niche.

Nba is global.

Just because Nfl is bigger in America means nothing, I know a lot of you think the only things that matter are in America but that's not actually how the world works.

Roster size shouldn’t matter for the top guys like Mahomes, Burrow, Barkley etc. the NFL makes way too much money for their top stars to not get NBA bags


NFL players getting pimped


then the nfl got these robust white coaching staffs full of legacy and familial positions.... with guaranteed contracts no less

nfl is really emblematic of America lol n smh

You bring this up in ratings threads too.
It doesn't mean what you think it means, and it never has.

Not sure I've ever posted in a ratings thread - now i might be wrong, if i have my apologies but I don't keep track like that.

Those things don't concern me.
I watch what I want to watch.

I couldn't give a fukk what others want to watch.
Or how many people watch the games.

The fact is nfl is local
Nba global

Now nfl trying to push into other markets and their one game here one game there do sell out.
So dongba games when they go around the world

Nfl in comparison is still a very niche sport.

Superb owl is watched worldwide no doubt.....but not for the game, it's for the pagentry and spectacle, most people watching couldn't care about the teams or the score or game really.

Fair enough, perhaps it's not you that brings this point up and it's more accurate to say that this has become the defacto talking point on sohh when it comes to comparing these two products. The reality is,
Basketball as a sport far outpaces football, and is like soccer in that it is immeasurably more accessible;
but the NFL as a league dwarfs the NBA by orders of magnitude, simply from domestic dominance.

The interest in the NBA on a global scale is, at this point in time, largely immaterial because a) it isn't monetized; b) the nba possesses no logistical infrastructure to rope those markets in to the competition; and c) those markets have professional leagues that they are MORE interested in than the NBA.
Referencing the global reach of the sport of basketball isnt germane to this discussion, per se. In this case, the NFL has more money IN, but has more hands in the pot for the money out.

I think, aside from the paid Indians on here that astroturf WNBA content and try to drive engagement with network social media accounts, there is no more frustrating discussion than with the "typical NBA fan" poster on here.

Basketball as a sport? Much more enjoyable, and popular world wide, than football.
The NBA as an entertainment product? Absolutely terrible, and rife with issues that the league itself acknowledges constantly. The NFL is running laps around them.
Posters that attempt to defend the NBA, or slight the NFL, at every turn because they love the sport of basketball are missing the forest for the trees.
The discussion really should be: how can the NBA become more like the NFL, instead of "filipenos love NBA tik tok!!"
