Why the hell is the NHL so insanly popular compared to the NBA on MMO-champ?

[Dangg]

Like it, but is there a reason ...?

[Mihnt]

Blame Canada.

NHL fights, NBA fakes falling when glanced and gets hurt elbows

This is just a theroy, and mgiht be slightly racist, but, its because more white people play wow, and hockey is more of a white sport than basket ball, even tho white people do watch and play it, more watch and play hockey.

That's not racist, and it's true.

I dont think its racist either, but not everyone thinks like me.

[madethisfor1post]

I'm Canadian and hockey is a niche sport at best. LONG LIVE BASEBALL!

It's the kind of blatantly obvious answer that's likely to get called racist anyway.

[petninja]

Or maybe because the NBA is a joke?

This is also true, though I personally think the same thing of going to see a fight and having a hockey game break out.

even if it were, racism is in the intent, not the words. That's also true.

You people are being silly, there are no black people on the internet...

OT: Because basketball players run around a tiny court with no real "strategy" and just throw balls into an open hoop. I don't understand what is so special about the game. Soccer, hockey, at least you can see passing and speed and, I don't know how to explain it, it's just better.

[Garbles]

Think about it, in the NHL each team is filled with good competative players, in the NBA each good "team" is carried by that one good player. Since the cavs lost lebron, they now have the worst record...

GO HAWKS!!! DO OR DIE!!!

I couldn't name 3 basketball players. not my thing. I'll watch anything else though.

If you don't like basketball because it just ain't your thing, fine. But don't be so ignorant.

Personal preference and coincidence?

[nonamekiller]

There are a lot of Canadians around here!

[koodledrum]

NBA - you get touched it's a foul
NHL - you get touched, you shrug the guy off, if you cant shrug him off, one of your team mates shrugs him off for you, ref goes "ah whatever" no foul

Aint none of us here because we play Hello Kitty Goes Shopping on a regular basis, ergo we prefer our sports to be a bit more physical.

Seems to me that hockey is more of a younger generation thing. It can be supposed that a good majority of posters here are of the younger generation (babies-30ish), therefore the NBA lovers actually watch their games and don't bring the random bullshit and bitching to MMO-C because they know better.
