Reply to comment by twintig5 in [OC] North American cities by number of major sports championships (Updated December 2022) by twintig5

That makes sense. NHL has been declining in popularity for many years and is really only still considered part of the "big four" sports because of its history. I just saw a report that said only 6 teams in the NFL, NBA, and MLB have lower payrolls than the salary cap in the NHL. The highest paid player in the NHL makes $12.5M whereas the top players in the other three leagues make 4 times that. It's crazy how far the NHL has fallen from where it was in the '90s.

I’d have to say that how it’s shown is a big part. I can’t even watch my Red Wings because Bally Sports is the devil. What a crappy company

It's great knowing I pay for ESPN+ only to have 2/3ds of the games blacked out.
