Do people really think hockey is a major sport in the US? Why do they call it a "big 4"? Where the fuck in the US is hockey even comparable in popularity to NBA/MLB/NFL? Fucking Minnesota maybe. I see more soccer jerseys and fans than I see hockey fans.

Soccer jerseys are more everyday wearable. I see more people wearing soccer jerseys than NFL ones too, just cause they look more like shirts.
Andrew Cruz
Well, Boston for one.
Levi Mitchell
america is horrible at hockey so its not very popular there
Brandon Russell
> 1st overall draft pick was American
> best player in the nhl is American
Dominic Cook
Half the American first overalls busted
The best player in the NHL is Sidney Crosby
Brandon Wood
Crosby just plays in America. He isn't American.
Juan Young
It is still comfortably number 4 as far as team sports.
Elijah Lewis
Bigger than the NBGay in Jersey and the North East
Nathan Edwards
if you went by total number of fans in the seats, cfb and NASCAR are the biggest

Hockey has been a Big 2 sport in multiple regions of the USA I've lived in.
Samuel Collins
Way to show everyone you're totally new to the sport.

>Why do they call it a "big 4"?
Because there's the big 4 leagues (not sports, leagues) and then there's the rest. Things like revenue, age, stability and number of teams contribute to "big 4" status.

Nobody cares about whatever niggerball region you live in. Go fuck yourself, cuck.
Angel Watson
McDavid's the best
Carter Cox
maybe post the revenue
and you will see that the MLS is a joke
Cooper Reed
Same here.

Hockey is big enough to be considered part of the "big 4", albeit definitely the smallest of the group. If you spend a lot of time in the North (especially the Northeast and Midwest), you'll see that it's a major sport. But imo it's barely ahead of soccer nationwide, the thing is that soccer's fanbase here is split between the Premier League, Liga MX, La Liga, and MLS.

*while hockey's fanbase is unified by the NHL and has a lot of Canadian fans

alright pleb

So the Might Ducks lied to me?

Hockey was bigger in the 70's and 80's. Bad tv deals hurt it though
Hudson Sanchez
I'm fine with hockey not being the most popular as long as the "riff raff" stay out.
Ethan Baker
Nah, Trinidad and Tobago is a hockey powerhouse
Owen Hughes
Hockey is the only actual sport you fucking faggot
Nolan Hill
Well I mean, yeah. Most NHL team average attendances are just as high as NBA attendance averages, some higher, and the ratings are much better than MLS, EPL, and Bundesliga ratings. Just because it's not on ESPN doesn't mean it's not a "big sport"

Hockey is prretty popular in the northeast and the midwest, you're probably some desert rat Spic from California who prefers divegrass or some other type of semen slurpery.
