I’d say they are also way less popular than NCAA Football and Basketball.

I’d put the NHL on par with MLS when it comes to popularity.

And it’s a league/sport issue not because KC doesn’t have a hockey team. I can’t name a single player in the entire NHL. I can name at least one player on every NBA team, and KC doesn’t have one of those either.

If you are a major professional sports league, and 99% of the population can’t name a single player in your entire league it’s not major.

Please explain why this message is being reported.
