"1. it's not a very crisp passing sport. 2. dump and chase strategy is extremely boring. 3. you can't see individual skill very well on TV 4. 2 long breaks in game play 5. very expensive to play"
1. its not supposed to be 2. most teams only practice this strategy usually on line changes 3. look up patrick kane, jonathan toews, sidney crosby, evgeni malkin etc highlights 4. hockey is the most physically draining sport in the world 5. this i can agree to but that doesn't mean its a bad sport

1. that's the main reason why i prefer basketball over it. 2. tell that to the pacific division 3. TV angle restricts it very much. would need extra angles 4. physical =/= better 5. i can't truly can't love a sport i can't play |

...Which is exactly why he used it as a reason. It doesn't matter if they're needed or not, they're annoying |

| Because MLB and NFL franchises cost more and attract more fans. And it's not even close. |

| NHL had to partner with MLB with the MLB's digital media. Because they can't do it themselves. |

"Nearly half of the $103.735B valuation comes from the NFL where the league is worth a combined $45.69B with the average franchise value being over a billion dollars at $1.428B. The lowest franchise value in the NFL, the St. Louis Rams at $930M, would be the 2nd highest in the NHL, 4th in the NBA and 7th and in the MLB. Apparently, it has paid to be an NFL franchise owner as the league has grown.
Interestingly, Jerry Jones the owner of the Dallas Cowboys (valued at $3.2B) could sell the team and buy the 13 lowest valued NHL teams and still have a $100M left over.
After the NFL, the MLB is next with a value of $24.3B followed by the NBA at $19.0B with the NHL coming in last at $12.4B."
My bad, NBA is in front of NHL. |

what do leagues have to do with the sport itself
also popularity is irrelevant

Wonder if you'd still be saying that if hockey had more popularity.
