The NHL is fun in a vacuum, but compared to the NFL or the NBA, it’s missing something
Coming out of the pandemic, the NHL has been on a nice, little run in the United States. Notably, it signed a new U.S.-based broadcast deal with the Disney family, which includes ESPN.
“Vegas is a really cool city and they’re doing some great things in sports these days,” James said. “You see what the [WNBA] Aces are doing. You got the [NFL] Raiders there. You got the [???] Kings there …” “I think it’s the Kings? It’s not the Kings, is it?” James said to his audience of sports reporters, some of whom had presumably pulled a face when he gaffed.“The Golden Knights,” more people yelled.From the tone, it was a genuine question. James was really asking.
Outside Canada, the NHL is not big league. You put college sports in the mix and it’s flirting with minor league. This small incident showed that in more ways than one. But when a person of James’s stature pulls a Mariah Carey on you – “I don’t know her” – there is no way of massaging that. Nobody tried to turn it back on James. It was just assumed that no high-profile American should know anything about the NHL, even if he shares a parking garage with it.Worst of all, James wasn’t trying to hurt anyone’s feelings. That makes it extra hurtful.
