    The most surprising thing to me is the teams from the Indian Premier League (Cricket) that made it pretty high. And lol @ how low the NFL teams are.

        Whats there to be surprised about?

        They get more for their TV rights then the English Premier League for Soccer (but with 8 teams instead of 20... and much smaller teams/coaching staffs), every team is owned by billionaires and there is no salary cap restrictions.

          It's just not the sport that comes to mind if a bunch of guys bring this topic up and try to make a list. I was more surprised out of my ignorance to the league than anything.
