What will it take for the NBA to overtake the NFL as the most popular sport in the USA?

so you'd rather not support the greatest amount of black men making money?

Not if the money is coming at the expense of dignity or just being handed right back to white folks...them nikkas don't pay my bills.

It's a stupid fukking sport anyway, I'm only calling for a boycott because I don't watch the shyt anyway.

:yeshrug:

fukk the NBA too while we at it, don't be surprised if there's an ABA/NBA type situation within the next 10-15 years.

You ever been to a NBA game before? Obviously not cause crowd make up would say otherwise :snoop:

This is dumb fake militant rhetoric
NBA games have a mostly white crowd
White boys and men all over are copping jerseys of black players
A good portion of the top NBA2K players are white

It's just MORE of them love football

So according to your data, 100% of white fans at NBA games like the NBA. Gee Sherlock, couldn't have figured that out.

20,000 seats x 30 arenas is 600,000 people. There's 200 million cacs in the US, breh. :heh:

The reason why Football and Baseball are/were perceived as more popular is simple:

Eight college football stadiums with 100,000+ seating capacity.
Dallas itself has a stadium that seats 92,000 The Cotton Bowl, that doesn't even have a team or college associated with it. It's just used for rivalry games.

Dodger's stadium seats 56,000. The fewest seats in a baseball stadium is Tropicana Field in Tampa Bay with 31,000. Fenway only holds 37,000.

The largest basketball arena in the world is in the Phillipines and holds 55,000.
Largest in America is the Syracuse Carrier Dome with 36,000
Largest in the NBA is the Chicago Bull's United Center and it only seats 20,917.

The smallest baseball stadium is as big as the largest (American) basketball arena.
And the largest football stadiums hold 5 times as many seats as the largest NBA arena.

94 x 50 feet. 4700 sq feet is the area of a basketball court
160 x 360 feet. 57,600 feet is the area of a football field.
A soccer field is similar, 54,000 sq.ft - 86,400 sq.ft.
The baseball diamond itself is 8,100 (a square with 90 feet sides) and that's not including the outfield which can vary.

The size of a sport's audience is dependent upon how many fans can watch a game at any given time.
How many fans can watch a sport is determined by the size of the field of play the sport uses.
Football, baseball, soccer use noticeably larger fields of play than basketball, and so have a larger viewing audience.

To all the football is dying brehs out there.


What exactly are the 5'10-6'3 super-atheletic black nikkas going to do, if they can't play football. I mean they all can't be NBA point guards.


As long as white supremacy disenfranchises the black community, you'll always have a steady supply of super athletic young African American men willing to sacrifice their bodies for millions of dollars.:mjpls:








Sn: don't bring up that soccer Shyt, no one wante to play that

When you get a star like Peyton Manning or Tom Brady to die from complications from CTE. If and when that happens, there are going to be huge changes to the NFL that I believe will start the beginning of the end of the sport.

I am not wishing harm to either player.

It might never happen even though I would want it too. But then again the NBA shyts on the NFL globally so :manny:

Bottom line is the way they operate are just too different, NBA/Progressive NFL/Conservative

White players dominating does have some to do with it as well, even though you still see white kids rocking a Lebron, a KD, or Steph jersey

You could also add that the NBA plays way more games compared to the NFL's 16 regular season, the majority of peoples attention span ain't built for it frankly, especially in this day and age :manny:

It probably never will but I think shortening the season, contracting a couple useless teams to concentrate star power would be a start

When Bron retires the league is gonna suffer greatly

Love him or hate him he's what the casual fan will tune into see in the finals

And he's so much better then anyone else in the league it's scary
I was going to say the number one problem with the NBA beating the NFL is the NBA is a superstar player driven league (a black superstar driven league at that). It takes a while for a player to reach that status and there aren't that many players that do. You have about 7-10 years of that superstar and then you need new stars to take its place to keep the popularity going. I have so many friends that were Kobe stans that now that he's retired aren't as interested anymore. They still watch but not the same. A friend of mine is a huge LeBron stan who didn't really care for basketball until Bron became a superstar. When LeBron retires I can see him not caring as much. Another friend was a Wade stan and as soon as he fell off, he stopped caring as much about Miami as well. Another friend who now supports the Wizards but only because of Wall and that they're winning. All of these people are also football fans of Eagles, Cowboys, Redskins, etc and no matter whose on the team or what success the team has they always support and are enthusiastic about the team.
More white superstar players and more violence are easy answers:hubie:

I actually think requiring players to play 2 years in college might work since fans of the NCAA will follow their favorite players to the league

:patrice:
NCAA fans don't really follow their favorite players onto the NBA. Many NCAA fans don't even care for basketball as whole. Do you think there's many Duke fans that cheer for the Clippers because of Reddikk? Or Uconn fans that cheer for Charlotte because of Kemba Walker? What if you're a Kentucky fan are you really cheering for the Wizards, Pelicans, etc

The NFL is a US thing so it'll never takeover
Nah, there are no "nevers" in this world.

If Black athletes end up taking over the quarterback position in the league though, you'll see a decline in popularity in the NFL. Or if an influx of white (American) superstars come into the NBA, you'll see another spike in basketball. A lot of this shyt is :mjpls:, football is still a sport where you get to visibly see white men in control, and that matters to this country.
