100% agree. It wasn't until last decade that the NFL really started to go after the international market with the London and Mexico games. I wonder how that is working for them.

It's kinda crazy that the Cavs have two of the top 5 assist leaders of the season so far. Rubio and Garland

Lol no one plays american football beside USA and canada.
too many players, too many rules, too much equipment.
NBA will surpass the NFL soon in the USA if it hasn’t already…
more kids growing up now want to hoop
such a simple, beautiful game.

People actually go. The London NFL games were filing up a soccer capacity stadium to the brim. Tottenham Hotspur stadium has a 62k capacity and the Dolphins-Jags came had a record 61k for the football game.

They keep developing their young players and they'll make some noise in a couple years. They need a star level player to help take them to the next level.

From conversations I have had over the years, I know one thing for sure, most Americans overestimate how popular American football is outside of America
And have no idea which sports and sporting events internationally outside of the World Cup
Dude legit told me a few years ago that Lance Armstrong made the Tour de France popular and no one knew about it before then.
I thought he meant in America, but mans said around the world.

I think it’s just helpful to not put Mobley, okoro etc with all young players. Good to have some kind of veteran presence especially at point guard since Sexton is def score first

This simply isn't true and it doesn't matter if more kids want to hoop. Look at the crowds, man. All the rednecks with beer bellies that love the NFL aren't playing sports
Plus the team/familial aspect that
P C H
went into. Additionally, there have been several examples posted today of random Thursday Night Football games of subpar teams doing bigger numbers than NBA Finals Game 7s. The NBA is definitely getting more popular and is clearly more popular internationally but in America football is king.

Explaining football to someone who didn’t grow up watching it is when you realize the rules make no sense.
“So the guy throwing the ball, they’re trying to tackle him before he throws it, but if they hit him a second too late, it’s a penalty. Also, the guy catching the ball, they can totally kill him mid-air once it touches his hands. But if they touch his jersey before he catches it, it’s a penalty. Unless the defender is looking at the ball, sometimes.”

NAACP to athletes: Don't sign with Texas teams
The NAACP has sent a letter to the players' associations in five professional sports asking players to reconsider signing with teams in Texas because of recent laws passed in the state.

Yea NBA bread and butter as far as popularity and fan interest/engagement is social media (which is gift and a curse) and overseas but due to media money they still gotta act like they can make waves on TV
The NFL just started posting YouTube videos like 2 months ago
, that league lost on anything other than when the game comes on

I never judged folk for liking a sport with a silly concept like American footballExplaining football to someone who didn’t grow up watching it is when you realize the rules make no sense.
“So the guy throwing the ball, they’re trying to tackle him before he throws it, but if they hit him a second too late, it’s a penalty. Also, the guy catching the ball, they can totally kill him mid-air once it touches his hands. But if they touch his jersey before he catches it, it’s a penalty. Unless the defender is looking at the ball, sometimes.”
Cricket is huge in St. Lucia, and that is a ridiculous sport. Imagine telling someone you watch a sport where one game can last days, and have multiple tea breaks in between. Then trying to compare it to baseball and they kinda get it, then tell them "oh yeah, you can't bend your elbow them you throw the ball to the batter". And then when they try to make sense of that, then tell them but you can bend your elbow other times you are throwing it.
I'm in no position to judge

Suns will look foolish if they don’t take care of Ayton & he walks or has to get traded for a more cost effective return.
They could take Mitch Rob on his extra value 2nd rounder contract scale.
