Simon Jordan & NFL Expert CLASH Over The NFL Being BIGGER Than The Premier League | talkSPORT 

I dont think many people outside the USA understand NFL rules and how its played, only americans do

shame you didnt actually watch the video

@@StandardsFC I did

@@ravd8082It wouldn’t surprise me if they don’t know the rules either.

@@ravd8082 im not a massive fan of it but its a pretty simple game really, you have 4 goes to make 10 yards. If you make 10 yards you get another 4 goes. If you dont make the 10 yards in the first 3 goes you usually kick it back on the 4th go or risk handing over the ball to the opposition at the same point on the field.

He actually wrote in his article, "who's more popular: Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes or Manchester City striker Erling Haaland?" That line alone should tell you all you need to know.

Ronaldo and Messi is overkill. Adel Tarabt who played for QPR over a decade ago would be more recognised than Travis kelce

@@nigelnyoni8265 Let's gooooooooooooo haha

Ask a girl if they know swifties boyfriend ...

We are arrogant too. As an english guy I can say that american football produces a lot more than EPL and also the fact that most english teams don't even get to SF or QF in Champions League so the best league in the world can't beat portuguese teams, german teams, italian teams, etc

It's a pinnacle of sport because of her xD

smh i had to cut the video short as soon as he said that,

@@wahlabiz😂😂😂

as non-American it's best US entertainment as always. Taylor is bigger than the NFL and might be bigger than the US. She's trying to emulate the 90's Michael Jordan. A woman !!! 😱

That’s the reason the nfl propped her up!

And don't forget about them great superbowl ads 😂

And they were interviewed instead of the players 😂 I don't even know which teams played but have seen Taylor swift was the star of the show 😂 great sport and not at all corrupt

And so the fans don't lose the plot, each play is shown in slow motion, super-slow motion, and reverse angle slow motion so the ex-players and coaches can tell you what just happened and why it's so great. Live games are a little better, you can go early and "tail gate"... eat and drink as much as you can beforehand (It dulls the pain of having to sit through the live experience). Bottom line... for each 60 minutes spent watching it... less that 5 minutes of action & 55 minutes of ______ (insert your own adjective)

And about 600 ads

100%. They need all the add-ons and hype to get people to watch it and stay watching.

@NickChemist-yf6oj 🤣

Who gets paid more though? The highest paid Premier league player is like a mid level pay in the NFL. Your so called biggest sport globally don't pay their players😂

@ghsense2626 it's not the "so called". It IS the biggest sport globally. As for salaries, football has a thing called jeopardy, ie promotion and relegation. If a club puts its entire squad on massive salaries, and they get relegated , the club loses a ton of revenue while still having to honour the players contracts. Leading to the possibility of the club going bust. This doesn't happen in the NFL as it's a closed shop with the same teams year after year, therefore, guaranteed tv and sponsorship revenue. There is also the financial fair play rules which limit the amount a club can spend to make the league more competitive. Meaning super rich owners are not allowed to put unlimited amounts of money into the club, like they can in the NFL

Truth and at least 7 to 10 million in the USA on Sunday just before midday

These numbers are so wrong it's not even funny. Premier league is available in 600-700 million homes. That means that' how many households have access on their TV's or computers to watch the games. It's not how many people watch the games. The most viewed Man U vs Liverpool match had 4.8m viewers and was exclusive to Sky Sports.

Its obviously not that simple ppl would stop watching. Ppl already are stopping bc of VAR and 2 min delays ruining the game. They will never be able to put more ads in a soccer game. Thats why their jerseys are getting more and more ads on them and the sidelines have doubled the size of the ads

Hundreds of millions of people?

Now compare the marketing strategies and stoppage time with adverts. There’s a reason why NFL sells the most entertainment/adverts over EPL during stoppage time. … because the game allows it to. Now compare the salaries and caps. Now compare how many professional football clubs compared to NFL clubs (hint it impacts revenue and profit) Now compare the marketing ethics between each sport.

@@Taecoconut so basically the nfl has a better business model than the premier league. how is a league with less fans making more money

@@marcelohendrix6139 and also, it’s not a “better” business plan. It’s a more mercenary business plan that lacks ethics

Even Volleyball is bigger. Hell....if you want to stick with American sports.... Basketball 🏀 is far and away more popular than the NFL globally. NFL I really a niche sport and specific to America. Basketball is actually an international sport.

Exactly,they have "The world series" and "The world championships" when it's literally just teams from america involved 🤣

because they're American

Hard to pay attention in schools when every time you hear a bang you have to hide under your desk

Arrogance stemmed from american exeptionalism which is the consequence of deeply rooted xenophobia and the notion of constantly repeted myth of”America is best country in the world”

Years ago the whole world wanted to be America and I think they picked up on that

The fact it's called football when its played with the hands is embarrassing as well

True. Different sports, different leagues. Can't compare.

@@watermarginramsgate180 that’s because you don’t know how the word football came about.

​@StylistecS so tell us how the word football was form then since you're sitting dictionary corner😅😅

@@divbrown2752 It is a family or umbrella of game played on foot. There are two different elements of football which are the carrying codes and the kicking codes. The Carrying codes include American Football, Canadian Football, Rugby League, and Rugby Union. Then you have the kicking code which is Association Football (called soccer in some parts of the nation), and Australian Rules Football (where handling is strictly limited). All of the codes have things in common but most are different from each other. Association football is just simply the most popular of the codes. It's not my fault that I have to be your teacher from time to time ole chap.

Very true mate, it won't be long before you have yanks coming to India telling you how much better MLB is than the IPL lol 😂

@NOVA-of3ix your so called sport has VAR which is a farce, might aswell cash in on ADs when you're deliberating simple things that's should take a few seconds 😂

@@ghsense2626 Probably because Football ⚽ isn't as over commercialized as NFL. The NFL is like 30 mins of playing with 2 hours of ads. That's a big reason why they can pay so much. But that is not a model the rest of the world wants to adopt thanks. We actually like watching sports for the game.....not ads and music concerts. And if NFL players are paid more.......who cares? It's still a niche sport that has failed to become mainstream anywhere else. Football by comparison is global and players are global superstars. No one except Americans knows NFL players or cares. And of course Football is about playing against the best the world has and winning the world cup to call oneself the world champion. What other countries can the US play against or test itself against? You have to be next level delusional to compare NFL to Football ⚽. The one is a niche sport the vast majority of the world doesn't care about and the other is the single most popular sport on the planet. And I'm not even a football ⚽ fan. But thems the facts.

Yeah - throw in the fact they relocate teams I.e San Diego Chargers are now the LA Chargers and The LA Raiders are now Las Vegas Raiders. Imagine Manchester Utd moving to Birmingham and being Brummy Utd.

The big EPL clubs also have no fear of relegation ... not exactly a level playing field

@@cxv6367 City might if they are found guilty of just a couple of their FFP issues. Chelsea are no longer one of the big boys - at least there is competition for top 4 now. Take away the Financial Aspect of the NFL and its not even as big worldwide as Golf or Cricket (And I actually like NFL). If the Premier League isnt such a big pull then why do so many US consortiums want a piece of the Pie? How many Clubs are US owned now? Plus England (not UK) isnt even the size of Florida so its not going to match the US Finances, yet on a worldwide sporting scale the NFL isnt even in the same stratosphere as the PL.

No

The league 1 play off final is bigger than the super fish bowl

AFCON probably had greater viewing figures than the Superbowl this year. Many Americans turned off the NFL because of the Kapernick protests.

mate they were calling it the World Series when it was only white American men playing in it. Only years later did they try to justify the name by pointing to how many non-Americans are playing MLB.

Well with baseball you do only have a few leagues with the only real competitive leagues being US and Japan. The reason it is called the World Series is it is the best teams in the world. Your point would be right if in baseball we had massive leagues in almost every nation across the world like we see with European football. They are also two very distinct sports so trying to make them the same to take down his argument is silly.

Oh sho you're saying we should call the UEFA Champions League as the World Champions League because the best teams are playing in Europe? Silly. Just admit that Americans just love to lie in their marketing. Yes, they're the best teams in the World, but it's not a Global Baseball Club competition.

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@jeromeclemente3672No I am not saying the Champions league should be called the World Champions League. I am simple pointing out that unlike Soccer/Football, Baseball does not have many competitive leagues the main one is MLB. When you look at other leagues like Japan or DR there is a massive competition drop off. My entire point is that we are comparing apples to oranges. One sport has dozens of leagues therefore it would be foolish to say any one of them represent the world. Whereas the other sport has very few leagues and only one of them is representative of the best talents in the sport. Every up and coming Baseball player wants to play in the MLB, whereas with football you have the Prem, Laliga, Serie A. Bundesliga, and Ligue 1. All having similar levels of competition. You are right it is not a Global Baseball Club Competition because there is not even Global baseball.The reason you are getting confused is you are assuming that baseball has the same market/reach as European football has and you are criticizing it using the standard set by European Football which is that every country partakes in your sport. Also the MLB had nothing to do with the supposed contents of this video so even bringing it up in the first place was irrelevant to the discussion at hand. And finally about Americans lying in marketing. Every country does that and this is not an example of that. If that’s deceptive marketing then so is the Champions League.

​​@@Ivoryenperor9but it's a perfectly valid point to take down his argument. Calling it the "world series" is a joke. There are no other countries teams playing. Now....yes. there are no competitive leagues outside of the US and Japan......but that's also because very few countries actually play baseball or care about it at all. Baseball is not even a top ten team sport in terms of global popularity. His point is utterly ridiculous. If having some Dominican and Japanese players justifies calling it a "world series" then pretty much most European football ⚽ leagues are weekly World cups given the wide range of players from Europe , South America, Africa, Asia etc...The point of it is that it exhibits the mentality and attitude that the US thinks it is THE world. And that its sports are comparable to the popular global sports most of the world plays. Bare in mind this is a video where an American is trying to argue that the NFL (a sport basically played by one country) is somehow superior to the PL. A globally watched and followed League.

An actual normal game that most true fans would enjoy. Most Americans who live the sport hate the spectacle the Super Bowl has become.

​@@StylistecSnot really

@@anthonyuccello8450 most of us who want to watch the game cares little for commercials and especially a halftime show.

If there is no celebrity or half time show, your sports will go down the drain. That's the only thing people around the world watch. No one cares about the game.

@@gtingaming716 no the premier league IS. But you can’t use the stadium thing as an argument that’s all.

I present to you, basically every American

No, because they won't create real revenue. NFL teams make hundreds of millions of dollars a season. All of them. Most teams in England are in debt. That's the difference.

​@@DannyXXXXX theres 300 million plus living in the states compared to 60 million in England. Of course its going to generate more revenue. Stupid argument. Plus, how the league and pay are structured forces team into debt. There are no "salary caps". Not to mention Premier League teams dont trade players they buy them. These are all factors into why teams are in debt.

​@@DannyXXXXX Money is the only metric the NFL wins, and that's the ENTIRE NFL vs the Premier League. The guys argument was the Super Bowl was a bigger event than anything the Premier League puts up, which is an even worse argument. The Super Bowl alone isn't even bigger than any London derby

The question isn't whether its bigger, its whether its better.

I honestly couldn't sit through listening to that nonsense. Did he actually claim the super bowl was comparable to the FIFA World Cup?? Because if he did.....it really doesn't matter what else he says since that's so beyond deluded that it automatically means nobody can take that man seriously

Who gets paid more though? The highest paid Premier league player is like a mid level pay in the NFL. Your so called biggest sport globally don't pay their players😂

Theres a reason we dont hear this debate all the time on sports radio here and in the UK.. bc its stupid to compare and figure out a fair metric. U cant put anymore ads in a soccer game but football, the way its played, is easier to exploit with ads. Also no other continent plays american football so.. it already is crazy how many intl viewers it gets considering they’ve never even thrown a football in their lives. But everyone plays soccer in their lives even in the US.. its the more global sport. American football will never surpass soccer in any other countries. And they already have rugby

Yes premier league is watched globally and "soccer" like they call it is played in different countries worldwide that have thier own respective leagues compared to the NFL only exists and played in USA

Football.

But to a true American, America is the world

Nah. NFL = Taylor Swift

But you need a final, a big day occasion where you get all your investor billionaire buddies together and scam everyone out of money

Now if the NFL had 10-20 rival leagues, and only the best from the previous season, from each league, could compete in a playoff type tournament, then we'll talk. Just to make it a little more interesting, rather than single game knock out format (home field advantage being the whole purpose of the regular season) maybe a group stage where they play each other home and away... and then a home & away knockout to see who advances towards the "Super Bowl" final. ...Nah, too complicated, that could never work.

Thats what's killing football & the competitiveness of the game

The league structure actually proves who is the best.😊

@@anthonymcken6050 absolutely!

This is what they tried to do with the super league in Europe, such as the big 6 in the UK, they wanted them to join up with European clubs, say you have teams like man and man city, this region will have supporters who support there respected local teams such as bury, oldham,.or salford but then have there area team like man u, this happens in the USA where you have folks who support there college teams and then have there area team,.in that case it might be the nearest teams such as titans, cowboys or Houston.

@@lorenzo4819 Thats such a delusional clutching at straws take to have though. For one thing, in the NFL there is no relegation (where teams are dropped from one league to the league below due to poor performance) therefore there is little-no risk of losing investment if massive companies or billionaires invest in said NFL teams, compared to PL teams where like 1/5 teams who get relegated go financially insolvent over the next few years. In the NFL you're virtually guaranteed to make money, and if your club has a poor performance guess what, you get the best pick of the next draft; so you're actually rewarded for failure in the NFL. Also lets just factor in the commercial breaks seemingly every 5 minutes in an NFL game, the constant blabber from pundits, and the half time show in the Superbowl; how much money do you think would be made then? I should hope the NFL has more revenue when the commercials feel incessant and never ending with an average of 12 minutes of the ball being in play for a match which is hilarious in itself.

If American fans had to accept a world in which 5 clubs make all the money and nobody else has a chance theyd riot and quit watching. So maybe think harder about what makes a person a sheep and what makes someone savvy. NFL fans of a club know that no matter how bad they are, they’re one draft pick away from becoming a champion, and the worse they are the better their odds of getting that guy. European football fans either cheer for one of a handful of clubs or make peace with the fact their club will never win anything unless an oil sheik buys their team. And you think the American is the rube?

@@hrs1414 Yeah but the game doesn’t stop because of it. The continuity and the fluidity of the game is important. You watch 90 minutes play in 90 minutes, whereas you get 11 minutes of play in 3 hours in the NFL.

The winners of the Super Bowl is called Super Bowl champions

No, they are constantly referred to as World Champions by American media... send KC to Winnipeg in late January to play the Grey Cup Champions (using CFL rules and our bigger balls) and you might be able to claim, North American Champions. Until that happens, or a successful NFL expansion occurs ANYWHERE else in the world... you can claim nothing more than NFL playoff champions. Even the "Super" is just marketing.

@@I.B.Rox1962 the media does but not the team and actual fans. And Canadian Football and American football isn’t the same however the quality of America football teams are above the CFL. Btw the Super Bowl got its name after a super ball toy. Has zero to do with marketing.

@@I.B.Rox1962 Which is what I meant.

​@@StylistecSThey are called the 'world champions'.

I've fallen asleep every time I've tried to watch or listen to the Superb Owl.

And nothing to do with corruption, tax washing etc

Correct and it's because it's the whole sport. Look at how many professional football teams there are on the world. Imagine closing every professional league (and ending international football) and just having the top 32 teams in the world playing in the premier league. The revenues would be 10 times the NFL

It’s more down to the commercials. If the EPL stopped every 5 minutes for 1 minute of commercials the revenue generated would put the NFL to shame. Thankfully, unlike Americans, we Brits would never stand for that. The length of actual playing time in between commercials can be directly correlated to the attentions spans of your average citizen.

Plus, the franchises have fewer clubs in the league, so they get a bigger pool of money. No transfers fees to worry about, and also, the average career time is 3 years, so they don't have to worry about players squeezing more money out of the club

The EPL generates more revenue than the NFL... That has been since 2012. And EPL is not the only football tournament in England. They have FA cup, Carabo cup, League cup etc... That's just one country and one league. We have the spanish league, Italian league, German league etc.. To say that NFL is bigger than football by any metric (including finance) is arrogance... USA is about 300mil - 400mil population... England is roughly 50-60million. Yet that England sport is bigger.. Now that's facts!.

@@ravd8082It’s not a hard game to pick up after a few watches. The problem is the commercials, Europeans couldn’t handle it. There’s no way could we ever take a sport seriously that has commercials every couple of minutes. We prefer 95% game play, 5% commercials, not the other way around.

@ravd8082 the rules are not that complicated but as mentioned, it's slow. The whole game has 1 hour of play time, but usually lasts 3 hours +. So at best 33% of watching it is actually playing time, 2 thirds is breaks in the action. That's why i think unless you've grown up around it in USA, its probably not appealing to the majority of the world.

"1 hour of play time"... surely you jest! From snap of ball to end of play, more like 12-15 minutes.of actual play time (google it). Remove special teams, each player gets more like 7 minutes of playing time (assuming they are not being rotated in-and-out for specific situations). Most games take 3+ hours to complete, so now we're down around 10% of the whole game time (< 5% per player, ignoring those that don't get on the field). They spend more time putting on the ridiculous equipment than actually playing.

​@@jimsim8736yep and the commercials are always McDonald's or pizza. Like FFS
