Well so is the NBA, lol especially his team. The only sport on the rise right now is baseball.

Soccer.  Real Salt Lake paid a $10 million expansion fee a decade ago, it’s $150 now and growing for MLS.  More 5-19 year olds play soccer than any other activity now, including Boy/Girl Scouts.

A declining NFL is still more popular than the NBA and I doubt that ever changes.

NBA has the same issue that baseball has they play so many games in the regular season, that no one except for diehard fans pay attention to it. Most people tune in to the MLB and NBA once their post season starts, as opposed to the NFL where each regular season game is far more significant.

Also when you factor in the parity that each NFL season brings you don't get that level of hope across fan bases league wide in the NBA like you do in the NFL where it's any given Sunday or  any given season whereas in the NBA the top 10 players seem to be clustered on 3 or 4 teams and everybody else is just also-ran.

NBA's popularity in the US is about the same as it was, although the tv ratings are suffering the same decline as virtually everything else.  But internationally, basketball is far more popular, and the NBA profits from that popularity.  I went to the Philippines several years ago, and Kobe Bryant was probably the most popular athlete in the country, next to Manny Pacquiao.  And Europe is similar, Lebron and Kobe are very popular, while Tom Brady could probably walk the streets of Paris without getting a second look.  

 

But I am glad Cuban doesn't want to buy us.

Football has always been America's sport. Rodger Goodell was dragging it down by expanding it to other nights and making international games. That man and most of the owners are so out of touch with there base they thought they could manipulate and force liberal agendas on a blue collar class that just voted in a wildcard president. The biggest astonishment is they have doubled down and have adopted a even more far left agenda. We are definitely in crazy times.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      Number 9  Carolina Panthers  Bryce Young, the first overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, produced career highs in completion percentage (63.6%), passing yards per game (188.2) and passing touchdowns (23) in 2025. However, those numbers aren't exactly stellar by NFL quarterbacking standards. Even though the Panthers backdoored their way into the postseason in 2025 as NFC South champions with an 8-9 record, Young's performance was up-and-down. He threw for the third-fewest passing yards by a quarterback to make the playoffs in the last 20 seasons, per CBS Sports Research.  FEWEST PASSING YARDS BY QB TO REACH PLAYOFFS, LAST 20 SEASONS (MIN. 16 STARTS) PASSING YARDS PLAYOFF WINS 2012 Christian Ponder (MIN) 2,935 0 2008 Joe Flacco (BAL) 2,971 2 2025 Bryce Young (CAR) 3,011 0 2006 Steve McNair (BAL) 3,050 0 2019 Josh Allen (BUF) 3,089 0 Young did deliver some high highs, like when he threw for a franchise-record 448 yards passing in a Week 11 overtime win at the Atlanta Falcons and when he went toe-to-toe with Stafford in the playoffs in a 34-31 defeat.  Kenny Pickett couldn't win the Cleveland Browns' quarterback competition a year ago, and Will Grier is a career backup. This is Young's team.
