mredskins 07-09-2010, 09:50 AM Gilbert's response was very unprofessional. He didn't have to wish LeBron well, but he could have said we are very disappointed he didn't return to Cleavland and displayed his decision the way he did(national tv, etc.). Cavs will always be competitive, etc etc etc.
No need to come off as childish and emotional. I understand where he is coming from and the frustration is something I would have too if I were a fan(especially the way Lebron has gone about this). I am only 23, but I have learned not to go on the record and say something in the professional world, when I am upset, emotional, etc. Got to take a step back, think about the implications of what you are saying, and wait before you say something.
Gilbert should think of LeBron as a coupon he just saved millions of dollars by having him sign somewhere else.
I know net wise he lost a ton but I am trying to cheer the guy up.

Schneed10 07-09-2010, 10:18 AM My gut says the NBA is more popular than the MLB, how to prove it I don't know.
Revenue, that's how you measure it. Ticket sales, merchandise sales, concession sales, and TV revenue.
It is not, MLB crushes it.

Fair enough, thanks!
Poor S10, right now he is scrambling putting together massive pivot charts and tables trying to show proof, when this is all I needed. =)

Nah, CRedskins did me the solid. I was just going to say something to the effect of "how come you didn't know that??"
I thought it was common knowledge that baseball dominates the NBA in popularity.
MLB crushes the NBA? Are we sure about that, especially when taking into account worldwide popularity? Shouldn't we also consider other factors such as merch sales, TV ratings, etc.
Of course baseball trumps them in revenue, bigger stadiums, more games. That factor has to be taken into account.
Pretty sure NBA TV ratings are higher than MLB.

So that's revenue that includes everything then-tickets sales, tv, merchandise? And does that factor in the fact that (looking only at MLB vs. NBA, NFL is clearly at the head of the class) that the NBA season is half as long as MLB's?
Most people do say MLB is more popular though when polled, though I think NBA is growing at a faster rate internationally (not sure on that though)
Either way, been a season ticket holder of the Wizards for over 15 years. Love the NBA, in spite of some its flaws. And yeah I like to watch the superstars play, what's wrong with that? Realize that a handful of teams have won it all the past several years (Lakers, Celtics, Spurs, Pistons) but is that so different from Patriots, Steelers, Cowboys, Broncos? And I think there are plenty of teams with a legit chance to win it all each year.
