America supports Football... far more than the NBA. 8 home games vs. 41. Sunday afternoon vs. monday/tuesday/wednesday night games that go on till past 10pm.
Watt is amazing. Get rid of the entire defense, and build one just around him. Call it the 99 defense... will be the new 46 defense.
I guess this is a very tired discussion. But I'm not talking about people selling out a Tuesday NBA game. I'm just talking about consistent loud support during big games. More about noise level at key moments than attendance. I guess I have to give Texans fans props for the crowd noise during one of the most worthless games in franchise history.
America supports football better than any other sport, or any other form of entertainment period... Also, crowds would rather cheer their ass off for potential defensive plays than missed free throws or flops.
