Premiership football is a million times bigger than nrl fact
We know this. Even people living in Burundi with no real interest in any sport know this. Although it’s more like 10 to 15 times bigger by revenue, based on some very rudimentary internet research… which is less than I’d have guessed.
The NRL is still some distance behind Korean baseball though, which I also wouldn’t have guessed. I suppose the AFL is dominant outside Eastern Australia and has revenue almost twice that of the NRL.
SL revenues are approx. 10-12% of the NRL’s. Just slightly lower than the third division for Association Football in Japan.
Is your point that we should recognise and accept the disparity, and just enjoy what we have? Not put too much weight on an Ashes series that’ll likely be a dispiriting whitewash? I’m pretty much on board with that. Or is it something else?
