Football has fewer games and a more national exposure so a star becomes well known in all markets.
Basketball as well as baseball, hockey and others are limited when their home team is in a smaller market.
Football shares it’s TV revenue equally from a national network, the others have local networks that they receive their primary income. This also applies to the team stars in limiting their national exposure (read feeding their ego, especially when in a smaller market).
As a certified (certifiable?) old fart/curmudgeon, I stopped watching the NBA about the time they stopped calling traveling and started allowing felony assault in the paint.
“Ain’t a-gonna need this house no longer, ain’t a-gonna need this house no more / Ain’t got time to fix the shingles, ain’t got time to fix the floor / Ain’t got time to oil the hinges or to fix the window pain / Ain’t a-gonna need this house no longer, I’m being traded to the Saints.”
The problem with the Pelicans is it was an expansion team that started out as the Charlotte Hornets. The owner threatened to move if they didn’t build him a new arena. They didn’t. The city missed their team, built a new arena, and got the Charlotte Bobcats. But they missed the Hornets name. So New Orleans chose a new one and now it’s like the Hornets never left Charlotte. Meanwhile, the team that has the perfect name for New Orleans is the Utah Jazz. Why is something as sinful as Jazz in a state with so many Mormons?

Football is slowly becoming a dying medium.

Zion could put on a football uniform and nobody would know he wasn’t a linebacker.

Their word, as in a signed contract, means nothing. Absolutely no integrity.
