i think american's like the instant gratification and sports like hockey and soccer don't give them that. It could be a whole game and no one scores.

As for Basketball, not sure why that still gets all the attention and how they pay their players so much, that sport has been loosing money like crazy for a while now. What is there like 3 teams in the league that actually made a profit or something and the rest lost money. I think it gets talk cause it was huge and the sports guys grew up loving it or played it at the very least in high school.

Could also be high school related. Hockey is not avaialbe at all schools and to play it costs a fair amount of money. The equipment you have to buy is not cheap, meanwhile all other sports in school cost like $50 or $20 when i was in school and you were on the team, all equipment provided. Thus more kids played the other sports, basketball, football, baseball and thus relate to it more.

That's my two cents anyway.
