Pole cumming.

This. I have tried really hard to like hockey, but at the end of the day it's soccer on ice with sticks.

That being said, while I wouldn't personally give a crap, I certainly wouldn't actively oppose getting either.

Yup. At least if you have an NBA team you're watching some freak athletes do some incredible shit from time to time. Ice soccer is probably fun in person and I'd support a team, but I'm not picking it.

NBA. Hockey is too similar to soccer, which is the gayest thing I've ever seen. I have never watched gay porn, but I would be willing to bet I couldn't tell the difference between it and soccer.

Same here….besides, they really OUGHT to do something other than concerts at the Sprint Center….

Hockey. I like watching it on TV. I LOVE watching it in person. Kansas City would be a great environment for hockey.

But it won't happen.

They're behind about 3 or 4 other cities right now.

And when they do all you people who say "I don't like the NBA" will start to get into it and realize the NBA is 12 months of entertainment. It never stops being hilariously amazing and the trades are crazy and the games are fun and they'll sign local guys. Forget the Kings in 82, this is a different game with social media.

I'd argue you would get into hockey too if you gave it the chance you want the NBA haters to give it.

Also, the NBA is the NFL's rival? The NBA is right next to the MLB, not next to the NFL.

Extra attention paid to the population breakdowns towards the bottom. Even if you view the Gallup poll at face value, the NBA and MLB are basically even with the NFL still in a league of it's own. Saying the NBA is the only rival the NFL has is wrong.

Hands down, Hockey...

**Baby Lee** · 07-27-2018, 08:44 PM

My own personal drawback for hockey is, watching the flow of the game it just makes me wistful that we can't get higher quality soccer [growing up, I still went to about 3 live Royals games a year, compared to about 10 Comets games. No NFL games, didn't pay attention to Chiefs, or any NFL at all, until around time of Dino Hackett in my HS years]. That wistfulness has been tempered a bit since it's been easier to watch high definition feeds of Premier League and UEFA games with the internet.

**Rain Man** · 07-27-2018, 09:00 PM

I'd rather have a sumo league than basketball or hockey.

The NFL is the most popular in this country. Soccerball is the most popular in the world. Basketball is the second most popular sport on the planet

I really like BB but the way NBA games are reffed are so effing lame. I watch a bit during the playoffs for the freak athletic ability but I refuse to get attached to a team.

An NBA team in KC is going to be as successful as the Sacramento Kings aka cannon fodder for the big market teams.

NHL isn't as lopsided.

I agree that like soccer, hockey is too low scoring but the comparison ends there. Hockey with unlimited substitution is played at a sprint and regardless of the situation a score could happen within seconds. Soccer with very limited substitution is played at a slow jog. With far more lulls in the play.

When a hockey player gets knocked down, he gets up. When a soccer player gets breathed on he goes flying and rolls around on the ground for five minutes.

Each their own. Well, except for the soccer idiots.

The comments were referring to the USA.
