In the NFL, small market teams, like Baltimore, Buffalo, or Cincinnati, get talked about as a team, whether good or bad. No media members ask QB/stars to ask for a trade usually. There seems to be a respect for the competition. In the NBA, every small market team seems to be ignored. It seems like everything revolves around the Lakers or the bigger market teams. Like how can disgruntled stars end up there. Obviously, Lakers are huge, but you would think the nuggets didn’t play yesterday with the lack of discussion around them.

The NFL is structured in a way that props up small market teams
