NFL is for suckers, literally. College football is where it's at. The NFL is the EPL of American sports. MLB and NBA are the MLS... piss, piss poor. Who gives a fuck about those sports.
dude you know i'll take college football over ANY sport any day but I can't deny that the NFL is the biggest sport in the U.S. hands down. Any way you look at it in terms of popularity, ratings, media interest, earnings/profit, advertising/sponsorship, etc.. They are #1 across the board.
Yes I do believe that without college football there would be no NFL. College football in its own way is extremely vital to the survival NFL and much more meaningful but it goes both ways.
But its completely ludicrous to compare the NFL to the EPL. Compare the fact that the NFL is much smaller and younger than the EPL yet what the NFL does on the bottom line for not only themselves but sponsors and other stakeholders its not even funny. The ability to do that in 1 country with MLB and the NBA is extremely tough to do.
I agree that I don’t waste time watching MLS or the NBA anymore (since the late 90's) but MLB is still greatness being that they make money without losing much either. Sadly the NFL has overtaken MLB as the national pastime of this country and rightfully so.
At the end of the day its not about popularity its about the paper
fuck the EPL
