Lunatic:
^ me too

Also, I want to say Soccer doesn't "suffer" from a lack of coverage in USA - it's the largest sport in the world.

i don't know the exact terms of explaining it.

but by law of the Constitution, we were not legally allowed to send our Armed Forces into a state without some clearance from the Senate or Congress.

Haiti is not our property, we were just being good neighbors.

i don't know the extent of damage in Hawaii from the tsunami, but if it's bad enough to where we need to send troops or something, it won't be right away for the same reason as Nawlins.

all a bunch of legal bullshit.

but i tell you, Hockey is in no direction relation with the countries recent failures lol.

The NFL isn't the biggest because of the schedule. It's the biggest because it's the biggest sport in the country at the top level. An average NFL prime time season game earns higher ratings than an averge NHL, MLB, or NBA finals game.

big mat:
its incredible it was considered a bum sport 40-50 years ago when baseball was already established

Jaydc:
Shallow,you just wrote its the biggest sport because its the biggest sport lol.Thanks for that contribution.

Im saying the reason it garners so much ratings is because their are so few games actually being played that every single one is important.Baseball,hockey,basektball have so many games played that not everyone means as much.When you lay 162 games a year its hard to garner huge ratings for every single game being played.The nfl is different,evry game is extrememly important.If the nfl teams played evrey second day and 82 games a season it would not have the same ratings.
