"Every time I post something about how much hockey sucks, I get people leaving comments about how I just dont get it.
Yeah, okay. Im the one whos out of touch.
I did a little Googling, and here are the results of an ESPN survey of how people (in the US) rank spectator sports by popularity.
* NFL (National Football League) * NBA (National Basketball Association) * MLB (Major League Baseball) * NCAA football (college football) * NCAA basketball (college basketball) * NASCAR (stock car racing) * WWE (professional wrestling) * NHL (National Hockey League) * AFL (Arena Football League) * WNBA (Womens National Basketball Association) * MLS (Major League Soccer) * IRL (Indy Racing League)
Not only does the NHL come in behind NASCAR, where all you do is go left for 500 miles, but it also ranks lower than wrestling. And wrestling is totally FAKE.
A bunch of dudes in tights reading from a script is more popular than the NHL.
Case closed."

if the survey was done globally I don't think hockey would move much if at all. It would most likely be buried under foreign sports. See: Soccer, Rugby, Dingo hurling.
