    Football is FAR MORE exciting to the average sports fan because it just is.

    People like violence. People like gladiators. People like watching men try to kill each other. It's deep rooted bruh.

    3 times bruh. The TV companies just paid 3 times as much. Players salaries are going to SKY ROCKET. After this deal, the players will want the same , but without growth, three times the growth , as a business, why would you pay MORE for a product that is lacking in what the people want to see- bonafied superstOars that 14 year old girls from Des Moines Iowa could recognize.

    Three time g. Do the maf what a company gotta to do to keep wanting to invest MORE money and keep growin.
    If you really know business bro esp sports business, you would realize that team sport>tennis or baseball(not a team sport). Theres a reason why we had the highest rating since jordan coz people now having hope that silver is different than stern when the spurs(playing the best team ball) won instead of rigging games to make kobe/bran the next jordan. Believe me bro, fans want beatiful plays and not superstars. Soccer doesnt have the gladiator style of nfl but its the most popular sport in the world and the only thing common between them? Its team play. If the league was really better during stern, the league wouldnt be in red.

    just go the NFL route and make it illegal to play any semblance of defense, and throw in a few interference calls to sway the end of close games.

    Are you on acid ?

    Players salaries.

    Soccer?

    Wtf is that?

    This America. Tnt and abc/ESPN don't give a fucc bout soccer. Americans don't give a fucc bout soccer.

    RATINGS WERE HIGH BECAUSE EVERYONE WAS WATCHING TO SEE IF BRON COULD WIN A RING IN HIS HOMETOWN.

    Shit for brains.

    You REALLY think the casual fan woulda tuned in to see the great team ball of the hawks vs warriors?

    That's happened before..Detroit versus spurs. League just made some new rules to get excitement back up.. Kickstarted wade nash and Bron along with many other average all star level perimeter players.. sprung durant with a lot of superstar treatment along with harden after kobe bron rivalry ran out.. they'll always have someone new to anoint and a story to push.

    I'm saying it was two "team ball" teams playing.. although GS and hawks are even more exciting than that since they can at least go on offensive sprees.

    And then you have those who want the possibility of a Memphis vs. Spurs Finals because "the top 16 teams should be in the playoffs!!!!!!"

    I'm sure that would draw greaaaaaaat ratings

    Memphis would never make the finals in that format. it'd be something like spurs-cavs, okc-GS and then some combo of the winner which would be amazing either way and make for better conference finals.

    the hawks and warriors are more appealing than the 2005 pistons and spurs?

    Lol. Because soccer in america isnt as good in europe. You dont know business bro if you think star driven league is good for nba. Soccer earns the highest in the world and nfl in US yet somehow a genius like you thinks sterns way is better. And Finals ratings before stern is better than before he retired.lol and ratings dipped once stern tried to create another jordan aka what you wanted, "superstars league". So stfu bro. Youre dumb

    Messi made $71 Million last year. Soccer players make grown man money. You can't discredit that just because the game isn't as popular here, those guys get PAID

    2 West teams...just like 2 East teams, in the Finals, would be horrible for ratings......that's what I was getting at.
