WHY IS THE NFL MORE POPULAR THAN THE NBA?

[Blade]

And that's the issue. Football has been around. I think basketball may be closing the gap among younger people but it will be a while before those young people become the old people.

Football reaches women better too. Women go to bars for MNF. Women participate in fantasy football and office football pools. Basketball doesn't have anything equivalent.

CTE is the NFL's only threat.

Ya the league been around a lot longer but the main reason why its ingrained in American society is because for the longest time it used to reinforce the idea that white people are to lead (QBs being white) while the rest are to follow. It's an extension of American society.

thats not true. You cant even hit a player anymore. People want to see big plays and offense

They want offense, AND they want big hits. The league agrees with the offense, but doesnt want to pay out for CTE trauma.
High scoring is more important to the causal fan tho. I will give you that.

Everything is either classic or .

You can't like PlayStation and XBOX, you have to like one.

Last nights game 3 hrs and only 11 minutes of game action

See this the problem with NFL games. Average game takes 3 hours and 12 minutes while game action is only 11 minutes.

Then they went and made red zone channel so people just get to watch highlight with 8 little screens yet people tryin to say it's a better product. NFL is just lucky fantasy took off and there are junky gamblers around

The NBA wasn't shyt when whites were more prominent though.

SPEAKIN OF CTE

NBA WAS MUCH BIGGER THAN IT IS NOW WHEN BIRD WAS A FACE OF THE LEAGUE

First of all, ratings went up after Bird retired.

And I don't know how you can say basketball in the 80s is more popular than now. If you're just using ratings to say that, there are all kinds of problems with that.

RATINGS DECLINED WHEN BIRD LEFT THEN PICKED BACK UP IN THE JORDAN ERA .. BUT DONT FORGET, STOCKTON WAS A SUPERSTAR AND ONE OF THE FACES OF THE LEAGUE AT THAT POINT AS WELL.

BUT 80S WAS BIGGER COMPARED TO TODAY .. AS USUAL, UR WRONG AGAIN

 

[Optimus Prime]

You're comparing a game seven finals rating to an NFL regular season game rating.

.

Even with arguably the two most marketable NBA players over the past few years in the same finals, NFL wild card weekend smoked their numbers. There are obvious reasons for that as they are one game playoffs, but that doesn't change the fact that the ratings weren't as close as you're making them seem.

context, read the whole discussion and you will see why i did that

SPEAKIN OF CTE

How many girls do you know that played any amount of basketball after age 10? You've seen the ratings, you made the thread asking why the NFL is more popular, now you're sitting here trying to argue against your own thread. Just

 

[Damnshow]

its a racist organisation, white ppl love that. as long as nfl continues dikkriding their fuccboi white qb's the game will be popular between white fans. tune in some good ol football and watch all that violence while rooting for their fav white players.

meanwhile nba does not need to do this dikkriding because they have a huge international audience, meanwhile no one gives a shyt about nfl outside of north america there are more people in the world watching rugby than nfl.
