If you think money is made by sports through ticket sales, you're mistaken.
the nba has more attendance than the nfl, and the nfl doesn't care.

The NBA just blatantly fixes all the national tv games to be close and the fans are turning to other sports.
I don't know if the NHL has to do this since they are lucky if a team can even score but I have never watched a game on tv or attended in person so I know nothing about it except it really PISSE5 me off when they have the Bluejackets on tv instead of the Cavaliers. Of course the cavs are so bad they are hardly ever on tv so most of the games get officiated appropriately.
And the blue jackets basically are stealing 10 million dollars a year in casino tax to pay for their bloated salaries of players from a bunch of other countries after the taxpayers REPEATEDLY voted down any pro sports welfare programs.
Here in NYC, which has three NHL teams within about 50 miles, I have never met a single person who does NOT go to the games who cares one bit about the NHL. I have never had a conversation with a single person about the NHL. And we talk about all kinds of stuff.
