Should Sports Leagues be longer or shorter than they are?

[lurkeraspect84]

I can see both sides. A lot of meaningless games, and wearing on players where they're not peaking at the right time.

It doesn't have to be across the board, some sports can be longer some can be shorter.

We should be able to have multiple polls in one poll thread.
I wanted to add NFL, NHL and the other one. MLB.

College sports is talking about expanding with longer tournaments.

Would rather have girth and cut out the meaningless games but it's revenue so i know they won't happen, but I think we can all agree girth(quality) over length (length).

College basketball should start after the college football regular season ends...3-4 weeks later than it starts now. This is not related, but kind of related.

MLB/NBA...way too many games. Football isn't the most popular sport just because it is Geezus Kriest; every game matters. Football fans will talk about a regular season game their team lost but "should have won" for years. Have you ever hear a baseball fan say, "man, it still chaps my ass that we lost that game in 2020, and we would have been 65-56 instead of 64-57"?

White Castle fries only come in one size.

Thanks for the earworm.

Shorter so I don’t have to watch the Pistons play for 5 months out of the year

 

[KisteK]

Cut 20 NBA games
Cut 50 MLB games

 

[FaithPlusOne]

Cut 20 NBA games
Cut 50 MLB games

I think I’d cut even further. 30 NBA Games and 60 MLB. That’s still plenty of regular season action.

I like the long seasons. Gives me something to watch.

Great point, what about having more pro leagues with shorter seasons?
