You Americans dont actually care about sports. You just follow it because you think everyone that's relevant does it, so you pick a team in each league so you can check the score on your phone and talk about statistics in the 50 million commercial breaks you have.

People at the stadium literally care more about Nicki Minaj or someshit performing rather than the game.

Fuck off with your plastic handegg, apehoop, softball and iceskating.

Just look at the stadiums of an NFL game and a football game to see the difference:

Every football fan I know couldn't care less about the halftime show and know how cancerous it is. The Super Bowl is just a cash grab that everybody watches and the half time show and le so funny commercials XD are just there to keep the casuals coming back so advertising time can be sold for a gorillion dollars. So anyway, there are obviously people here who aren't sports fans just like I'm sure there are people everywhere who just pretend to like sports to fit in. It's not very common here though for every time outside of that one game which just serves as a social event for a lot of people. People here openly admit to not liking sports if they don't like them

That doesn't really help your cause. It still shows that only a few teams win the fuck out of everything which is the exact opposite of parity. Having Leicester or Bumfuck FC win a title every 50 years isn't parity.

Your post has nothing to do with the OP at hand. Please discuss your britbong claims that your league has parity. Or just keep shitpost memeing like you'll probably do.

Can you even imagine being British and not being able to pick from a wide variety of sports including soccer to watch on t.v.?
Could you imagine if you had to defend only one sport because it's all you have?
Could you imagine having only one league in your country that can even be considered good?

Coincidentally, yes. I did a road trip with friends from SF to LA then to LV a few years ago. It's funny how you're now on the defensive because you don't like your own sports being criticized in a thread made by an American about our sports.

many Americans hate apehoop for the very same reason. since 1991, the Bulls have won 6 times, the Lakers 5, the Spurs 5, and the Heat 3. That's 19 championships out of 25 belonging to 4 teams. It would be 21 and the Bulls would have 8, but Michael Jordan "retired" for 2 years and the Rockets won 2 championships while he was gone. Which means only 4 teams, the Pistons/Celtics/Warriors/Mavericks have broke the mold in a quarter of a century

im not a soccer hater, i like all sports, but baseball and especially American football have a much more interesting variety of championship winners compared to most sports. the only dominant football franchise i can think of in recent memory is the Patriots, and they've only won 4 superb owls over the span of like almost 2 decades. since 2000 there have been over 10 different teams winning the superb owl, which is pretty good in my eyes
