re: Why does football get so much more attention nationally than basketball?

Yeeeeah, no. Hell, most basketball players aren't very good at the basics of basketball. How many big men can actually dribble more than 10 paces without dribbling it off their feet or getting their pocket picked? How many players are liabilities late in games because they can't shoot free throws?

Have you ever watched an NBA players attempt to do anything related to another sport like throw a baseball, swing a bat or golf club? Embarrassing, usually.

Most people can’t do those things even close to respectably. Then imagine if those people were now 6’6”+ with even longer wingspans. A 6’10” guy dribbling even semi-effectively with defensive pressure is a feat.

The answer to OP is violence, imo.
