WHY IS THE NFL MORE POPULAR THAN THE NBA?

[Sccit]

But nationally televised NBA games often don't matter. What's the meaning of GSW vs. SAS or OKC most of the time? Nothing it's just one of many games.



Correct. It absolutely doesn't. In the NBA finals, even if you lose it has to happen 3 more times for you to get sent home. The NFL is one and done. Edge of your seat kinda shyt, breh.

SO NCAA MARCH MADNESS SHOULD BE MORE POPULAR THAN ANYTHING .. 7 GAME SERIES ACTUALLY MAKES IT MORE INTERESTING TO FOLLOW AND THE OUTCOME OF THE PREVIOUS GAME CAN HAVE U ANTICIPATING THE NEX ONE LIKE A MUFUCCA .. ALSO GIVES GAME 7'S AN EVEN BIGGER EDGE OF YOUR SEAT FACTORABILITY

SO THIS DOESNT EXPLAIN WHY NATIONALLY TELEVISED GAMES LIKE WARRIORS VS CAVS DO WORSE NUMBERS THAN DUMBASS GAMES LIKE MARLINS VS BENGALS

Warriors vs Cavs regulars season in reality means NOTHING
Marlins vs Bengals would be interesting though

Cuz NFL is full of white people that are the face of the league meanwhile NBA caters to urban population.

Football is grunt violence and a test of manhood. It's at the core of manhood even as children.

More people's fathers played football than basketball.
Plus in the hood/school, you can play football with somebodies shoe(I've done it) or just a water-filled coke bottle.

And there's less games, so they mean more.

WAY MORE PEOPLE PLAY BASKETBALL FOR FUN .. HIT YOUR LOCAL PARK N LET ME KNOW IF U SEE FOLKS PLAYIN FOOTBALL

if the NFL was 82 games, and no fantasy and betting, it would be MLS status..

there product is awful

+ NBA is seen as a black league .

.

A lot of "ifs" there as well. You saying the NFL would be MLS status if they had 82 games proves the point others are making. A shorter schedule offers more meaning to every game.

The NFL is America's sport, although I know your response and others will be that it's white America's sport.

But for football, I can take all week setting up my team, besides thusday night I just need to set my lineup before Sunday. NBA theres games every night.

THEY HAVE WEEKLY NBA FANTASY TOO

Whyyy can't you nyggas like both? I don't get it

 

[Sccit]

I love the NBA but theres nothing in sports like football Sunday. Who tailgates and has game parties for regular season NBA games?

Most of the good TNT matchups don't end until past 12:00am EST on Thursdays. A nikka gotta work

Every game means much more in the NFL. Key divisional W/Ls can make or break you when it comes to Playoffs time.

SUNDAY AFTERNOON NBA TRIPLE HEADERS >

Violence, Americans love violence

Gambling, it's easier to gamble, heard this from an actual bookie

Lack of parity, forget the regular season, NBA playoffs don't even matter until the conference finals

Racism

SO EVEN BY THAT ESTIMATION, HIGH PROFILE NBA GAMES LATE IN THE SEASON SHOULD AT LEAST BE RATED AS HIGH AS ANY FOOTBALL GAME .. AND NBA PLAYOFFS SHOULD BE KILLING EVERYTHING, BUT ITS NOT

lol people like football more get over it.

this is like going to europe and asking why people like soccer

its indoctrinated in our society to matter more, and the fact that people do find it more entertaining

you have football and the activities around football that lend to its success

you have the 16 game schedule and single elimination playoff structure

you have the violence, the intensity and the fast pace

you have the fact that most of the games are sitting on a 1 day schedule with a week in between, giving the media just enough days to break down last weeks drama and build up for the week after that

You have high school football on friday and college football on saturday giving it a cumulative build up effect to sunday

with basketball there's 82 games in a season, way too long, you've got apathetic all stars that give minimal effort until February or some shyt

You've got games on tuesday at 5:00 and shyt when people are at work

you've got a multiple round multiple game elimination tournament that takes months

you've got frivolous refereeing and "make up calls"

"flopping"

few elite teams - no parity at all

All stars who want to form mega teams that leave every other team a shell except for 4 or 5 main ones


all this stuff dilutes the excitement factor

MMA WILL NEVER BE A TOP 3 SPORT

NBA IS COMIN FOR THE NFL'S THROAT

where did I say MMA was going to be a top sport? I'm telling you that americans love violence.
and the NBA ain't coming for the nfl throat. go look at numbers between the jordan and bron eras. now is there another one of them in the pipeline for the nba to piggyback off of?

 

[Sccit]

Warriors vs Cavs regulars season in reality means NOTHING
Marlins vs Bengals would be interesting though

NOT TRUE

AND WHAT ABOUT IN THE PLAYOFFS? IT MEANS EVERYTHIN, BUT STILL RATED LOWER
