Isn't the Pro Bowlers Tour (and any other sport) also ahead of the NBA this year?

The article was talking about the 2011 season that is just ending, not the 2012 season.

I think MLS will probably win the attendance award over the NBA again this year too, just a guess mind you

First, let's get the headline right. It's not the "best attended sport." It's the "THIRD best attended sports LEAGUE," behind the NFL and MLB, and the use of the word "league" may exclude other sports which may have higher attendance than MLS, but not in a single league.

Second, attendance by itself means little. The revenue stream generated by the NBA far outweighs that generated by MLS. The NBA's ticket prices are higher, its TV ratings are better, its merchandising revenues are larger, and its ad revenues are larger. It's a much bigger deal.

For now, but just like those on Wall Street Americans are getting sick and tied of these no good basketball prima donas.
