| The NFL and MLB are the captivating Kings of the sports globe Timberland Boots Custom . The months of February and March are simply the most dreaded months in our calendar year; no football nor baseball. We all even made a decent attempt to watch Arena Football when it was still active. As a child , however, basketball was the apple of every child's eye. I grew up in the golden age of the NBA; 1986-1999 when the household names were Michael Jordan, Hakeem Olajuwan, Patrick Ewing, Magic Johnson, Isaiah Thomas, Clyde Drexler, Karl Malone, Sir Charles Barkley. Since 1998, the NBA has lost nearly 30% of its audience. Fact. What attributes for the drop in the NBA's ratings?
?nternationalization. By definition, internationalization means an attempt to elevate involvement in international markets. The NBA now presents names such as Dirk Nowitzki, Yao Ming, Pao Gasol, Leandro Barbosa, Manu Ginobli, Tony Parker, Luol Deng, Andrea Bargnani as its stars. These are not players that we keep up with while they attended American high schools, these are not players that played for our alma-maters. Sure, these players have a ton of talent, but all of us as Americans show more support for those from French http://www.alibaba.com/trade/search?fsb=y&IndexArea=product_en&CatId=&SearchText=Timberland+Boots Lick (IN), Cabin Creek (WV), Lansing (MI), Wilmington (NC).
?he Hip-Hop Movement. Players now don tattoos, braids, piercings, head bands with rap music playing before and during the games. Times have changed. The clean-cut image of the National basketball association is long departed . Pretty boys like Joe Dumars, David Robinson, Dan Majerle and John Stockton aren't around anymore. Now stars like Allen Iverson, Kenyon Martin, Chris Anderson, Rasheed Wallace and Monta Ellis don an less timberland work boots attractive 'thug' image. Remember only a few years back when David Stern decided to implement a dress code for players before and after the games? The league wide dress code primarily banned all clothing associated with the hip-hop culture such as jerseys, baggy jeans, do-rags, and Timberland style boots.
?ack of development of younger basketball players. Kevin Garnett surprised the world when he proclaimed himself eligible for the NBA draft in 1995. Only three such players had made the soar from high school to the NBA before Garnett. Stars like Kobe Bryant, Jermaine O'Neal and Tracy McGrady followed. But this sudden trend also influenced the decisions of wannabees like Korleone Young, Jonathon Bender, Leon Smith, Kwame Brown, Gerald Green and Ousmane Cisse. And these are only some of the players that never went to high school. There were plenty of college players who should have stayed in college such as Corey Maggette, Omar Cook, Timberland Boots Darius Washington, Jay Williams. The pattern is still ongoing and is damaging both the NBA and NCAA Basketball that could use the services of these young men. Players are no longer as fundamentally sound as before and refuse to unselfishly play as a team. Fact.
?Major League Baseball, alternatively , develops their players to the maximum . Most major leaguers don't even get to the majors until they are 23 or 24 years of age. The only reason college baseball is not as popular as college football and basketball is because all of the talent goes straight to the minors, surpassing the college ranks. Baseball has retained its clean cut image, although the game has grown on an international level, especially in Latin America. While still thought of as America's favorite pastime, baseball allows fans to identify with classic teams like the Yankees, Red Sox, Cubs and Dodgers.
?Is the NHL's lack of popularity in America primarily based on geography? I sure think so. Hockey is associated with cold weather. Outside of hockey crazed Canada, the major market teams are in the North; Detroit Red Wings, Pittsburgh Penguins, Boston Bruins, Philadelphia Flyers, New York Rangers.The NHL has clearly made an attempt to spark an interest in the southern United States with franchises like the men timberland boots Atlanta Thrashers, San Jose Sharks, Tampa Bay Lightning and Florida Panthers.
?The lack of media coverage of Hockey in the United States makes it difficult for potential fans to gain interest in the sport. Nonetheless , the media typically follows where the curiosity is.?
?Lastly, others are now beginning to crown the NFL as America's favorite pastime. What has contributed to its growing popularity? Fantasy football is one factor as it is highly interactive and necessitates a lot of tactic and attention. Another factor is that more people have played football in their past than any other sport, making it the ultimate team sport! High school football teams generally have more than 50 players on a single team, so the fans have a better understanding for what is happening on the field. Football also encourages more of a party setting with all of the beer, food, tailgating and rivalries. There are only sixteen games a season, each Sunday has a purpose, as opposed to the other 3 leagues.? |
