NBA vs. NFL, Americas Sport



NBA vs. NFL




This blog is based off of " The Believing Game" I compared two separate sports and I have given supporting ideas as to why one vs the other is America's sport. Enjoy!





When the average American thinks of sports the first thing that comes to mind is football. The National Football League continues to be the worldwide leader of sports and is extremely popular. Many fans from across the country and even in some other countries tune in on Monday, Thursday, and Sundays just to watch grown men in pads hit each other and try to score points. Pro shops and stores strive to make extreme amounts of revenue from jersey and other fan gear sales. The Superbowl is often the most watched event of the year and companies pay millions of dollars just to have their commercials played. The NFL is clearly America's sport, they basically own a day of the week which is Sundays.


In the NBA the average season is eighty two games long. Fans that watch the NBA are the most dedicated and they continue to be entertained by the fantastic sport for almost eight months out of the year. The NBA sells out arenas each and every night with teams in each of the 50 states. Additionally, the NBA has multiple nights each week that many people tune in on a variety of tv stations to watch teams in the league play. The NBA finals are one of the most exciting events in the country and people tune in for a seven game series contently watching to see who will be crowned the winner. It is clear that the NBA is home of America's sport because they have a longer season and their fanbase watches the league on a nightly basis.

    Both of the paragraphs are well written and demonstrate a good argument. When reading this, I think you believe that football is America's sport. I think this because the information in the first paragraph seems more passionate and meaningful than the information in the second. The facts about the NBA seem too forced and they seem like they were just found online and not what an actual person truly believes about the league. Overall, I thought you did a great job with both paragraphs but you believe football is America's sport.

    When I first read through the paragraphs, I was leaning towards the NBA paragraph being the one you believed was America's team. The more I read them, I started switching sides. The NFL paragraph had more passion. It seemed like something you actually believed in and wasn't something you just found facts about. The line "they basically own a day of the week, which is Sunday" was the line that officially made me think you believe the NFL is America's team.
