Literally posted that exact same song here last week.

neat!

Boring and slow sport, just terribad. No need to flood the world with even more of that crap.
Rugby league and rugby union is available all year around and even Aussie Rules should start soon. Now those are true full contact sports, with actual fucking activity and effort. Instead of a few seconds of in-game movement every few minutes. Weak.

Its quite nice and quick if you download a torrent that removes all the ads and that guff.

Ya pro football is really slow due to tv timeouts, video replays etc. It's a shame really. High School football flows so much better. How the game was meant to be.

manohuevo

im actually not sure if stupid or troll.

handegg in south america? thats more unreal than zhu getting unban.


and im quite sure nfl players could play all year, they would just have to take more steroids.

Isn't that what Arena Football is for ?

I mean, Tim Tebow plays it. :P

out of a game close to 2 hours, there's roughly 11 minutes of gameplay. over an hour of standing around.

it's no wonder people find it boring

Do you realize the NFL is almost twice as profitable as the second most profitable sporting league in the world?

http://www.askmen.com/sports/business_200/218...iness.html

While we're on the NFL, $50 12 man ESR fantasy next year?

$ will be www.leaguesafe.com 'd, of course.

no shit it's twice as profitable, they show commercials ten times as much as any other sport.

First of all, a league's net worth is heavily tied in with the level of franchising and advertising, and considering the evolution of this sport in the past 50 years has basically tailor made it so commerciallisation. That topic has been touched upon by lifelong American football fan Hunter S. Thompson.

B) The website you linked shows a compilation of league statistics from before 2005 ("Gross sales of MLB merchandise were expected to pass the $3 billion mark in 2005"). The same website has a "richest teams" list as well, and it's a bit of a clusterfuck (it lists transfers and goings on from the 2002-03 season as sources of recent revenue. KERRY FOR PRESIDENT). Dude, use Forbes as a source of information on value of sports teams, not some retard's blog from 10+ years ago. (e.g.: askmen site values the Yankees & Cowboys at $849m and $851m respectively. Forbes's 2012-13 most valuable teams list places them at $2.3billion and $2.1billion respectively... In the words of the Divine Prophet Notorious B.I.G. (peace be upon His name), shit done changed).

3) Also the NFL is dwarfed by international competitions. You win your national competition and then that's it. In soccer, our national leagues are a qualification for a continental Champions' League. Man Utd/Arsenal play in the EPL, Real Madrid/Barca in the Spanish La Liga, Bayern Munich in the German Bundesliga. All in the top15 most valuable clubs in the world. What do you think is more profitable, their respective national leagues or the competition where they fucking meet if they conquer their league?

So to summarise, no it's not. It allegedly was 10-15 years ago, as cited by a biased blog that doesnt break down what it was estimating. Even if it was, I would bet it has to do with the American "Church culture" of the past 2 centuries... People were forced by peer pressure and whatnot to spend their hungover Sundays zoning out while the preacher goes on about a tangent about lakes of sulphur on fire, now that secularism is slowly creeping up, a large portion zone out while Will Arnett is doing a pickup truck voiceover and Jay Leno tells them that nachos are delicious for three hours instead.

p.s. The League is a great comedy!
