Re: NFL Draft
Because it's the greatest league and extremely entertaining. Idk why that's considered silly. Most people love it.

Re: NFL Draft
Yes the product that is played is entertaining, the other 95% the nonstop talk about the product, the draft, the business side of it is not entertaining and overbearing on the overall scope of sports. That is the part I'm talking about not the product that is played

Re: NFL Draft
They're genius level marketers and operators. MLB disappears for nearly 5 months, 30 seconds after the last out in the World Series. People care for opening day and the first few weeks, then fall off until the playoffs.brewcrew1000 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 07, 2022 10:27 pmYes the product that is played is entertaining, the other 95% the nonstop talk about the product, the draft, the business side of it is not entertaining and overbearing on the overall scope of sports.

NFL lays out their year so they're never off the radar. They have the perfect calendar and setup.

Re: NFL Draft
It's debatable what is the "greatest". I think there is definitely a feedback cycle created here largely due to great marketing by the NFL (and the gambling industry). They create an environment where the sport is talked about year round which draws more attention to the league, which makes the games bigger events, which leads to more coverage and attention... and the feedback cycle of hype continues.
People in KC should have no doubt of the social bandwagon effect in sports - just look at the Royals in 2014 and 2015. Relatively few people cared about baseball in this town and then all of the sudden, people were decked in Royals gear who hadn't watched a game in the last 30 years. Baseball was suddenly all anyone talked about so people had to take notice. This is the environment the NFL has created and it's not all about the product.

Re: NFL Draft
*In the world
Now if you combine all the various soccer leagues together, soccer is the most watched sport compared to American Football. NFL is by far, the most watch league.

Re: NFL Draft
I was pushing back against the most followed and watched terminology which is just demonstrably not true.
The nfl does a fantastic job though and no one can doubt they’re dominating the us (which is a very important market to dominate).

Re: NFL Draft
"Biggest league" is tricky. By game attendance, it's MLB by miles. If you go by the biggest sport, it's Soccer followed closely by Cricket. If you go on value it's
1. National Football League (NFL) — $13 Billion
2. Major League Baseball (MLB) — $10 Billion
3. National Basketball Association (NBA) — $7.4 Billion
4. Indian Premier League (Cricket) — $6.3 Billion
5. English Premier League — $5.3 Billion

Re: NFL Draft
It’s also complicated because nfl uses the franchise model while the premier league uses promotion and relegation in a league system. As well as champions league, friendlies, etc.
It’s tricky.
But to use a really crappy metric, the chiefs have 2 million followers on Twitter. Arsenal has 20 million.
The reach of soccer is far wider than the nfl.

Soccer is king for sure.

NFL is just a beast from a revenue perspective.

Found this interesting. 18 NFL teams, including the Chiefs, were awarded international marketing rights to certain countries. The Chiefs are listed with Germany. Several of the teams will have one or more of their draft picks announced from cities in those countries this year. Curious why the Chiefs chose Germany, especially since it doesn't appear exclusive and other teams are listed for Germany. No one is listed for France. Perhaps an African country would have made sense with a Nigerian Nightmare tie in.

Re: NFL Draft
Nope, first regular season game in Germany was Sunday. Munich airport had an ad for the Chiefs coming next season, expected to be one of the KC home games there.
The international thing is weird but smart on Chiefs to nail Germany & Mexico.
