I hear and am involved in NFL and MLB conversations regularly and see fear from both leagues daily.

My other theory is that you're going to get more social media regarding basketball because you can see their faces. The biggest marketing flaw of football is that they all wear face-covering helmets, which makes it harder to turn players into societal sensations.
