We count MLS here now, too, boy. Don't make me get my switch.
>>66919346
The four major sports leagues in the US: The NFL, NBA, MLB, and NHL.
Irrelevant shit, such as the mlels and any team in canada, have been omitted.

New Jersey has three teams
The Jets, Giants, and Devils
>>66919401

Wew
Here's one counting CFL and MLS, for all of North America
>>66919590
Much, much better.
MLS is expanding fast, and will overtake the NHL in a couple years. Always shitty when owners steal a team for $$ reasons even though the population would support it, but whatcanyado.
>>66919606
>Overtake NHL in a couple years
I imagine MLS will be on par with the other Big Four leagues one day, but a couple years? I doubt it. Maybe sometime in the 2020's. Besides, if an NHL Vegas franchise doesn't fall through, NHL may be on the rise too.
>>66919346
Since when did we count mls? They're treated like minor league play
>>66919364
ay you from Frisco?
>>66919650
Nah, I'm from "the City"
Technically New Jersey has 4 teams.
>>66919354
>NFL
Yes.
>NBA
Yes
>MLB and NHL
No, not really. MLS now is outperforming both in terms of viewers and revenue. The major US sports will soon just be MLS and NBA.

The rest of us don't care. Most of the city's population is in Missouri and both of your city's sports teams are in Missouri.
>>66919806
You're going to call out a Washington bro for being to LESS games, when clearly you've been cucked by Bettman or Goodell and have never seen a soccer match in your life?

>>66919899
Maybe not in YOUR trailer park.
We'll be there shortly.
>>66919899
This. I can't even name the commissioner/head/chairman/whatever they call it of the mlels. Hell, I don't even know what the position is called.
The fact that you know who Roger Goodell and Gary Bettman are speaks volumes about how the NFL and even the NHL (the distant fourth among the Big 4) is exponentially more relevant than the mlels.
>>66919890
Are you trying to be a parody of a faggot cuck Seattlite or are you just really this gay?
>>66919915
So your argument is "I can name the commissioner of the NFL but not MLS, therefore it sucks."
Your ignorance doesn't prove your argument, it just means you haven't googled something and that's somehow someone else's fault.
I don't follow hockey at all, that doesn't mean it sucks or isn't mainstream.
>NHL distant 4th
True, and MLS will likely overtake it in the next 5 years or less.
American sports leagues by annual revenue:
1. NFL - 9 Billion
2. MLB - 8 Billion
3. NBA - 5 Billion
4. NHL - 3.3 Billion
POWER GAP
9001. My Little Soccer - 0.5 Billion in revenue.
>MLS will overtake NHL in the next 5 years or less
So you're predicting that the MLS will see SEVENFOLD revenue increases in less than 5 years?
Get back to raising your wife's son, soccer faggots.
>>66919977
Based on what evidence?
Cuz IIRC the NHL just opened up for expansion, got two applications, and rejected one of them.
>>66919971
It's not my ignorance, it's the mlels's irrelevance. I know who Bud Selig and Gary Bettman are and I barely follow the MLB and don't follow the NHL at all. They're big leagues so their commissioners are household names to the average American sports enthusiast. The mlels's is not.
The league just isn't important enough to be discussed in everyday sports media. The mls cup (~600k) barely even gets a fraction of the viewers the Stanley Cup Final averages (5.5 million, still a distant 4th) . It's nowhere close to overtaking the NHL and it won't be for a loooooong time. Probably long enough for the soccer bubble in America to pop once again.
>>66919998
LEL I was using old numbers. Let me update
1. NFL - 12 Billion (7.2 Billion TV)
2. MLB - 9 Billion (1.5 Billion TV)
3. NBA - 5 Billion (930 Million TV)
4. NHL - 3.3 Billion (600 Million TV)
POWER GAP
90000001) MLS, 500 Million in revenue, 90 Million from TV
>90 million
LELLLL
The MLS is literally where good players from Europe and South America go to take it easy, collect a cheque, and die. The level of play in the MLS is pathetic compared to every major domestic league in these continents, and possibly other certain countries.
If you have a sports league in North America and it isn't the BEST league in the world for its respective sport, it doesn't belong on the big 4 list. End of story.

For once Canada is correct
Faggot hipsters from Seattle just want to feel sophisticated and cultured so they pretend to like the """"football"""" so the rest of the world will accept them
>>66920020
This is the other half of the story.
The mlels manages to be completely irrelevant both in the US among American sports leagues AND internationally as a domestic soccer league. It's truly pitiful.
This will need a bump to make it through a night full of shitty yuro/sp/ threads.
>>66919328
>318 million in the US
>38.8 million in California
>huurrrr durr what the fuck is math?
California has 12.2% of the US population. That's more than a 10th of the US in a single state - among 50 fucking states. If population was evenly distributed per state each state would have 6.6million population. California has nearly 6x that! (5.8 to be close, off the top of my head)
Ok, so... the rest is pretty self explanatory and you're a dip-shit who should really finish your fucking high school certificate.
>>66920010
Hockey has stagnated, MLS has ten fewer teams and is adding new ones every year. New CBA's are being negotiated, new TV deals a lot better than the shit one the NHL got after the last strike.
Give it a minute. You can sell soccer anywhere, the NHL has proven soccer cannot be sold too far south.

So what you're saying is that MLS will have sevenfold growth in the next five years?
No, it's not. You're a retard. Any company that's growing fast can look impressive, but there's a wall that the growth will hit. So let's say the MLS adds 10 teams, further diluting the already shitty product. Now they have just as many teams as NHL, and let's even imagine their revenue grows linearly, they now are up to a whopping $750 million annually. They're still a fourth the size of the NHL.
Soccer cucks get fucked, your sport will never be relevant in the US

Cuckhoop fags also obsess over baseball and try and cling saying "MLB IS DYING" "MLB IS IRRELVENT'" "BOREBALL IS DEAD GUYS, NO ONE IS WATCHING" "MUH 160 GAMES A YEAR, ONLY REASON YOU"RE STILL RELEVANT" "BASKETBALL IS #2 IN AMERICA, BOREBALL NEEDS TO ACCEPT FACTS"
Cuckhoop fans need to just accept their spot as #3 and realize they're staying #3. Baseball isn't going anywhere, it'll be staying as #2 in the USA for quite a long time.

But it's easy to say that when MLB dominates the summer, facing very little if any competition (MLS? ha), and plays twice as many games in stadiums twice as large. In those circumstances it goes without saying that they're easily able to double up the revenue NBA makes while having to compete with NFL, NHL and the NCAA.
