Without a doubt, football is the undisputedly number one sport in the United States, with commercial value and market share far ahead of the competition, virtually without any rivals.
Not to mention the Super Bowl, which easily garners viewership in the hundreds of millions, let's just talk about the annual draft—
On the first day of the draft broadcast alone, viewership easily surpasses that of the NBA Finals and MLB World Series.
According to statistics, in 2016, out of the top fifty programs in the United States' annual TV ratings, football claimed a whopping forty-seven spots.
A dominant position that no one can challenge!
However, compared to football's popularity and influence, the income of its players is indeed a bit embarrassing and causes one to blush.
The top star players in the NFL only have an annual income of thirty million US dollars; in the NBA, these figures are commonplace and only considered average.
