The NFL’s divas are mostly confined to WRs and DBs. I don’t think there’s anyone out there legitimately comparing NFL players to NBA players in terms of diva-ness; it’s just so obviously common in the nba that’s it’s ingrained into the culture of the sport (flopping to draw fouls being common, etc).

Don’t get me wrong, WR’s and DB’s can diva with the best of them. Guys like cam Newton too. But it’s more of an exception in the NFL whereas in the NBA it’s almost expected unfortunately.

The NHL has essentially no personality ever and never has, so, frankly, it could use some more divas. You know you’ve got a problem if the player with the biggest personality in your league is Brad Marchand. Or for fuck’s sakes, the league could learn how to properly market their biggest stars but they haven’t done that properly since the days of Mario I think.

I guess what I’m saying is, it’s about balance
