That has always been the case. The NFL has always ruled since the creation of the super bowl and the merger of the AFL and NFL. Before that, baseball ruled.

Basketball has never ruled in America. Stern brought in the billions for basketball through Magic, Bird and Michael, and that made basketball must watch TV, but it still couldn’t compete with the NFL. But the problem with that is once they left, the fans left with them, until the rise of the next great superstar. And it still hasn’t been the same. Why? They were magic, Larry and Jordan fans. Not fans of the team.

After Kobe left the Lakers, nobody wanted to watch the lakers. Same thing with my bulls, once Jordan retired for good, attendance plummeted. Drose came, and attendance went back up. He left, and the shit dropped again, and it’s been dead ever since. The NBA system is a terrible system.

Every weekend, on Saturday and Sunday, from the time you wake up until the time you go to bed, it’s football all day all long. Commercials, games, news. Etc. No other sport has that power in this country.
