But I thought he was a terrible commish? Maybe not.
he is for CDN based teams.
How so? Have you seen the recent valuations for the Habs and Leafs? Through the roof for each.
we had high values regardless, he won't put in tax equalization so some teams have massive advantages, he allows NTC that only include CDN based teams, the game has pussified big time AND he is trying to fuck over Mailloux.

He is for the fans. And probably for the owners and players as well. Distant 4th place still.

Would be double that with a half decent commish
4th? Way lower than that. Soccer is now the clear 4 here. Hockey is a regional sport here, always will be. That’s fine.
Agreed , and lower than NASCAR
I think the fucken Westminster dog show gets higher ratings

I will get banned again soon, worry not.
Soccer hooligans are mostly fascist. Rugby doesn't have hooligans.
And, as an added bonus, Italy absolutely sucks at rugby so it's fun watching them get embarrassed in every match.
There is no way that anywhere near 20 percent, let alone 22 percent, of Americans follow hockey (or boxing, for that matter). That “survey” sounds like it was invented by the blogger in the basement of his parents home, where he still resides at age 37.

The data is from Statista, like many statistics available on the internet. I’m willing to consider better data if you have it, but I doubt you do.

But yes, all those numbers are insanely high. I doubt 75% watch football or 50% watch basketball or baseball. But the overall ranking seems about accurate from my own perception.

I don't think for a second boxing is the fourth most popular sport in North America. I'd be surprised if it's higher than 10th or so. Worldwide, however, I might be willing to listen.
The order for the top-3 makes sense. Football is king, basketball is prince (Remember when Bettman was hired, basketball was going downwards & hockey was going upwards? Good times) and baseball is the jester. Soccer is most likely fourth & hockey fifth.
If you go by viewer ratings, I think that's a fairly accurate list.

How do you know their data is accurate, or even real?
