Compare And Contrast The Nfl Vs Canada

Why is it that when I picture Canada I am able to see snow falling, the night setting, with teenagers, children, and adults walking towards a rink with their the laces of their skates tied together and thrown over their shoulders, all getting ready to play the great Canadian game. What is it that makes hockey so profoundly important to Canadian identity, and a representative of our country? To start off, all across the country, on frozen backyard ponds, community rinks and state-of-the-art arenas Canadians are playing hockey which is Canada’s national sport. I believe that hockey is a representation of Canada because, the maple leaf, a familiar Canadian emblem, is found on Canadian hockey jerseys, and major chains selling our favourite food, donuts, were started by hockey greats Tim Horton and Eddie Shack.

Yet another great example of hockey's influence on Canadian culture is the legendary Bobby Orr. Orr was born in Parry Sound, Ontario, and was well known for his excellent defensive skills. Although Bobby played most of his career for Boston, he has not been forgotten as having Canadian birth, and that is something Canadians hold very important in their heart. They love him so much for his homeland, despite the fact he played for our toughest opposition. He is another great player that attracted a lot of attention, specifically

This may not seem like a big difference, but the shorter fields allow teams to score over 100 points a game. It would be very unusual for both of the teams scores in the NFL to combine for 100 points or more so you can tell how much more fast pace AFL games. One of the similarities are the players. One thing the AFL has in common with the NFL is that a lot of AFL players were at one point in the NFL. The only reason they play in the AFL is that they either were too old or they weren't good enough.

The name was not always the NFL it was the (APFA) American professional football association, later changed to the NFL in 1922. The way group started was with a of men had a meeting in Canton, Ohio where they came up with the teams and the rules for the games. The way that you can score in the NFL is by getting a touchdown which the main point of the game. When a team gets a touchdown it is worth 6 point and then they have a choice to kick a field goal or go for a two point conversion. Most of the time the teams will kick the ball but if they need to get more points they will go for two. There is also a different way that you can score by kicking a field goal but it is not after a touchdown and it is worth three points. There is also a way that you can score by kicking a field goal but not after you score a touchdown this field goal came be kicked. The last way that a team can score is by getting a safety. A safety is when the defense gets a tackle in there end

From creating the first ever Montreal Gazette, to influencing the NHL, and making its’ way into the Olympics, Canada had created a game that became one of the most popular universal sports across North America and Europe, ice hockey. Hockey players around the world have all been said to credit their success to “Canadian Way”. These Canadian men who were devoted to the game, had influenced many others to have a love and compassion for something that was much more than just a sport. Prior to the first ever-indoor game of hockey, the sport was originally a casual game played outdoors on grass with its roots in Ancient Greece, Persia and Egypt.

To start, both Canada and the U.S. love their sports. In Canada the designated summer sport is lacrosse, a very sophisticated sport, which in the U.S is only played by snobby rich people at country clubs. The

Lastly, a Canadian team can throw the ball backwards and forwards from wherever they are on the field.

During an interview Lori Lansens said “When I grew up all of our news, weather and sports came from America. The people where I grew up rooted for American teams as opposed to Canadian teams.” Well, have you ever wondered why there are so little Canadian teams In American sports?

The games of American football and rugby are both extremely popular sports with a similar basic aim and structure of play. However, these two sports vary in many aspects of the game. Rugby has a greater international reach, different regulations and rules of play, and smaller risk of injury.

The birth date of football in the United States is November 6, 1869, when teams from Rutgers and Princeton University met for the first intercollegiate football game. The game of football has a history of many rule changes. Rule changes have been brought on to give the excitement of the game of football and to increase the game of safety. Within a decade, concern over the increasing brutality of the game led to its ban by some colleges. Nearly 180 players had suffered serious injuries. At a meeting between the schools, reform was agreed upon, and a second meeting, attended by more than sixty other schools, the group appointed a seven member Rules Committee and set up what would later become known as the National Collegiate Athletic Association. From this committee came the legalization of the forward pass, which resulted in a redesign of the ball and a more open style of play on the field. The length of the teams by the length of the ball before each play begins, was also established. But was that enough? When they made these rules, colleges were the only ones playing. As time goes on, younger generations have become interested in the sport. Football is proven to be too dangerous because of high risk of concussion, false safety gear protection, and long lasting effects.

However, the league continually struggles to compete with other American professional sports leagues when it comes to television ratings. Specifically the National Football League is one of the most successful brands in the sports world and has taken hold as the most popular sport in the United States today. The questions that need to be answered are how can the NHL market their product to the consumer through television in a way that can compete with the NFL? Why has the NFL been so successful where the NHL has not? In what areas of marketing through television can the NHL improve? How does the sport itself affect the television ratings? Finally, is there a saturation in the sports television market that does not allow the NHL to reach comparable television ratings as the NFL? There are three major areas to focus on in this research. First, it must be determined where the NHL struggles in the television ratings market by taking a look at all demographic statistics. Secondly, an in-depth look into previous research conducted on television ratings for both the NHL and the NFL. Finally, a breakdown of how each league presently markets their product with a focus on comparing and contrasting those methods to determine where the NFL is so successful and where the NHL can improve.

All Canadians love Hockey (not really). It is a common misconception rooted in tradition and fueled by a need to market the country as a competitive power that emphasizes team work. Other sports have been gaining traction in the last few years. Female Soccer for example, it is common nowadays to see female teams playing soccer in the park, and it’s even offered as a supplementary activity in elementary school to girls six-year-old and older. This demonstrates there is an interest in trying different things and experimenting. So the next time you think about Canada or any other country for that matter, watch for stereotypes.
