Believe It- NHL Drawing More Than The NBA

from PN of SuperSonic Soul,
I am not a hockey fan, despite the fact that I am an American living in Canada. In fact, were you to tell some of my friends up here that people now believe me to be an NHL fan, they would spit out their Tim Horton Timbits quicker than Ben Johnson at Seoul. I hate the NHL, I hate hockey, I hate people who say that hockey players are the greatest athletes alive, and I hate it when sportswriters couch their racism inside melodious descriptions of “gritty” and “tough” hockey players….
Do you know anyone who plays hockey? Did your high school have a hockey team? Do you and your friends get together for pick-up hockey on Saturdays?
I’m guessing the answer to those questions is no all around. And yet, despite basketball’s inherent advantages over hockey in terms of popularity in the U.S., here we stand, with hockey drawing more people this year. How is this possible?
more and I am pointing to the homepage and suggest you read the last 4 or so posts. The author is a basketball fan, but shows a graph of the NHL out-drawing the NBA and is looking for answers on how to improve the NBA.
added 2:08pm, I see Puck Daddy had this topic earlier today, so make sure to check it out…
