Cactus hit the nail on the head. Comparing the popularity of football to basketball is stupid. The ONLY thing they have in common is that they are both sports. Basketball teams play about 5 times as many games in not that much longer of a season, which obviously means multiple games per week. At different times, on different stations, and sometimes not even televised, ESPECIALLY if your favorite team isn't the team that plays close to you. Football is every sunday (for the most part), with all the games being televised on prime time. If each NBA team played 1 game a week, people would go to see it more, because there would be less of it. Has VERY little to do with marketing.
