As you can guess it's dominated by soccer. That's why ESPN forces soccer down our throats. Because advertisers know it's billions and billions of dollars.

Where are the clippers?
And if they just sold for 2B, the Lakers, and Knicks are more valuable. Would have to think the Cowboys and Yankees are more valuable than 2.3 and 2.5.

No, the top 50 was definitely dominated by the NFL.
30 out of the top 50 were NFL teams. All of them but I think Jacksonville and Oakland.
I guess you could say the top 3 were dominated by soccer.

Uhhh, things are worth what people will pay for them. So, yes they are.

The new TV deal the NBA is about to sign and the local deal they will sign will strongly disagree with you.

Saints owner Tom Benson will bring in an estimated $392 million in additional revenue through 2025
Doubt that Tom makes it to 2025.

Social media is not an exact science for popularity, but the contrast between elite soccer clubs and top American teams is vast. Barcelona (69 million), Real (67 million) and United (53 million) have the three biggest Facebook followings among sports teams. The top eight are all soccer clubs before the Los Angeles Lakers break the string with 21 million fans. The New York Yankees are the top non-soccer/NBA team with 8 million fans.
Damn, that's a lot of fans combined for 2 Spanish clubs.

According to the article, the Clippers if sold for $2 billion would be 15x revenue. The previous high for an NBA franchise was 5x. The last big market team, Philly 76ers sold for 2.5x revenue. The other two bids for the Clippers combined to be 1.2 billion less than what he bid.

If you're going to argue this point, I would go with it wasn't a true market and there were odd circumstances that led to the sale.

quote:I wonder about this. Yes, the teams may be worth billions, but I have to think that American advertisers hate soccer simply because there are so few commercial breaks. I have to imagine that the scrolling logos in the background have far less value than a 30 second ad that gets played no less than 4 dozen times per game.
Because advertisers know it's billions and billions of dollars.
That's one of the great things about soccer. Advertisements can never suck the live out of a game.

Ugggh, slideshows. List that stuff, Forbes. It's 2014.

"Price" someone paid and "value" are two different things. This valuation by Forbes is a mixed up deal. Some numbers are a sum of assets and some are just a recent sales price.
For example, stocks of companies often trade well above or below their value. The share price is definitely the price people are currently paying to own the stock, but that doesn't necessarily reflect the value of the company. Same is true here.
