How to improve basketball season.

Cut regular season down to 58 games, each team plays each other twice, one home game and one away.

Add a march madness style single game knockout tournament around the time of the all star game.

Get rid of the conferences and just have a 30 team league where the top 16 teams get into the playoffs. Have a draw to determine the fixtures, top 8 teams are seeded and play one of the lower 8 playoff teams.

need another powergap after football but still based and redpilled

Switch baseball and basketball

baseball is gay as fuck

Would MLB and NBA benefit from adding more Canadian teams?

they already tried that in the NBA. no one outside of toronto gives a fuck about basketball because that's where all the nogs live. vancouver has like 1% black people and montreal wouldn't be able to support a team.

Expand NBA to 32 teams and give Seattle a team then Vancucks can bandwagon them, not sure where they would put the other team though

Yea Forums told me baseball was dying
how does it still make so much money?

Despite Austin developing at breakneck speed, it happened too late. I know Texas is a big state (I live in Houston) but the Cowboys, Oilers/Texans, Astros, Rangers, Rockets, Spurs, Mavs have all been staples for long enough that everyone who is native to Austin has already committed to one of those teams. On top of that, anyone with money to spend in Austin is from somewhere else and is either a homosexual hipster who rides a unicycle and doesn't care about sports, or is loyal to their real hometown team.

San Antonio would be a fucking great spot for an NFL team if it wasn't for the fact that everyone there is already a Cowboys fan.

Who should an outsider support in each one?

The Canada teams + the Bills.
London could get an NFL team in the next 10 years however.

How come Buffalo Bills specifically?

I'm from the future, here's how expansion/relocation breaks down between the four leagues:

MLB:
>The A's to Portland and Rays to Montreal
>Expand to Las Vegas and Charlotte

NHL:
>The Panthers to Quebec City and the Coyotes to Houston
>Doesn't expand ever again

NFL:
>The Chargers back to San Diego
>Doesn't expand ever again, but the Oilers name/jersey rights go back to Houston

NBA:
>The Grizzlies to Seattle
>The Clippers to Mexico City
>The NBA contracts, eliminating the Nets, Suns, Pelicans, and Timberwolves

The chargers are in LA until at least 2040, and could stay as long as 2060.
The oilers are the Titans, they have no connection to the Texans. That’s never gonna happen.

Even if Houston got the Oilers name back they probably still wouldn't use it

A jounalist made a ranking of american cities by titles. He divided titles by seasons played by uts teams. The resulting number: number of years to win a title. He excluded cities who.only play in one major sport. espn.com.br/blogs/ubiratanleal/764115_quais-as-cidades-mais-vitoriosas-dos-esportes-americanos

Mls is more popular than nhl

I would put baseball over basketball

MLB maybe Japan

Yes in Los Standos Unidos.

As you see, toronto.isn't an underdog after all. And boston is titletown.

Name a worse 4 sport city than Filthadelpha, both in championship, ownership, and fanbase. I bet your ass you fucking cant!

Cope with that large sum dead money by the end of this season when he break's his back like an old man and retires early.

Yotes are just as creditable in location as the Cowboys are to Dallas

meant to reply to

Just add all the soccer leagues together for total soccer revenue vs gridiron revenue and see which sport is really bigger

Support your local teams, Boston. But not the Patriots because obvious reasons so pick either NY team or the Dolphins if you're an homosexual.

Open question: How do people end up supporting a team other than their local one? Can't understand it.

Surprised Bundes isn't higher desu. Also kind of wonder where KHL falls.

Except the stars have won a Stanley cup and Dallas has more than one (1) championship across all sports

Not fair, the NFL is in one country and so all of the smaller leagues are counted in their own countries too

never heard of any of these shit teams

I SWEAR TO GOD IF I SEE THAT FUCKING BIRD ONE MORE TIME

they're in a fucking desert

1. Baseball
2. Pro Football
3. College Football
4. College Basketball
5. Hockey
6. Pro Basketball

D-Backs and Suns were cursed with long periods of some of the most incompetent ownership in pro sports. Coyotes are a hockey team in Arizona. Cards really have no excuse and should have won when they had Kurt Warner.

>college basketball above pro basketball
not really. the level of play in college basketball is too poor. although yeah i would argue the NBA is the worst run league in pro sports.

Attached: discerning sharpe.jpg (600x858, 51K)

NBA is not badly run it's just that I can't stand the 16 team playoff format. I don't understand the point of the 5-8 seeds and it waters down the regular season. And memechucking is annoying and NBA has the most soulless playoffs.

The nba has the worst fucking commissioner of the major 4. The league wouldn't be the utter shitshow it is today if Stern was still in charge. But yeah, the talent differential makes NCAAM unwatchable outside the tournament.

what about 12 teams with bye weeks like in the NFL. i agree it's completely retarded to have half the league get into the playoffs.
>memechucking
this is because of NBA's retarded rule changes. it's not the NFL. they can afford to be rougher than they are today. this opens the floodgates for complete memes like Harden and Curry that just make me fucking angry when i watch.

plus silver just does tons of other retarded shit i can't wrap my head around.

I think 12 teams would be good.

/hoc/ master race checking in
why is hockey the best sport?

stanley cup playoffs are GOAT

there's no trophy as desired in /4/ as much as the lee cup

relevancy doesn't correlate with quality very well
hockey is an awesome sport
but most people prefer dumb sports for some reason. maybe cause they are dumb

people watched baseball for 100 years straight lmao

I have a special plan for this world. I am VERY based and redpilled.

Attached: Perfect Sports Organization.png (250x250, 9K)

yeah another thing i noticed, for example basketball game threads are too fast and too retarded. basically a 'write only' garbage. i lurked there a couple of times for the sake of the raptor memes. and when i had some questions about the game nobody cared to answer since the thread was moving so fast and it was total garbage. so it is not just the sport itself. /hoc/ threads are comfier in general

Stanley Cup is the GOAT trophy and hockey has a pretty solid balance of strategy vs. team skill affecting the outcomes of games. The period break system also adds watchability.

I personally like each of the 4 in their own way, but if I had to watch a random game of any of them, I'd go with football. I appreciate that it's a coach's game.

replace children with girls

You dumb chode. Talent is spread too thin across each league barring MAYBE MLB as it is. Unless you plan on abolishing the concept of free agency which has already been established by the fucking supreme court, enjoy having 46 trash teams and 4 contenders in each league. And lastly, the state capitols were chosen for geographic accessibility in old times. They do not correspond well to population density across the state, meaning they leave out most potential fans. Keep the fucking government out of sports.

This is called college sports ya dingus

dumbest shit i ever read, kys

VERY dumb and VERY bluepilled posts, the longest one being the worst. College sports are boring and do not matter-what is needed is a state-by-state professional system. The longest post is the dumbest one since he doesn't understand that considerations like talent and population centers SHOULD NOT MATTER. All sports should be played in the state capital, 0/10 (see me!)

Pre-season is 2 momths away, and training camp is at the end of July

listening to baseball while driving is incredibly based and also redpilled though

>almost every major market doesn't have a team within hours of it
>albany, harrisburg, sacramento, tallahassee, springfield over nyc, philly, la/sf, miami, chicago

Soccer is really growing, it's gonna be fighting in a few years with NHL and NBA in a few years in terms of fans

this man is unironically the worst commissioner of any of the 4 major sports and ill fight anyone who says otherwise

legit fucking moron

This faggot is going to force half the teams to hire fronthole head coaches. Kikery truly knows no depths

Let's be honest the only league that matters is the NFL

based opinion

>the reply
imagine getting mad because you were outed as an idiot

they were really onto something with the whole 'one game a week' '17 weeks of death' 'instant elimination playoffs' thing.

quite a based sport if i do say so myself

aussie who likes the idea of NHL
season just finished right? when does the next start
also who to support, I have no ties to any city in particular
I'm from Perth if that helps

Add together ALL the gridiron leagues in the world m8, then it's a fair comparison.

not only that but then hes gonna force them to coach how he wants them to, fine teams who rest players in a ridiculously long season in favor of TV ratings, and whatever other bullshit money grabs he does

and the worst part is fans will keep praising him because MUH POLITICS

Calgary flames, breh.

do I bother getting into NHL with the time difference? I'm on +8 for reference
I like NHL but not so keen on only ever watching highlights and delayed

If you follow a west coast/mountain team it should line up with around midday over there for most home games.

>put one in Austin
Sounds pretty gay desu.

midday WST or EST? I'm in Perth
Do they play on Saturday's too or is it NFL tier where it's mostly just sunday and monday.

NHL is practically every day, what days one team in particular plays depends on the schedule.
And I meant midday in eastern Australia, so it would be 9/10am in Perth.

>Sounds pretty gay
Just like Austin in general

are the flyers any good? their logo is aesthetic af and philly is goat

ah yeah, well that's fine I can keep a track at work or watch on tv on the weekend

wonder if there's a flow chart for picking an nhl team
