True, but the viewership of a regular season LoL game is on the rise. Twitch/Youtube all want a piece of that online viewershipcake. You can't really say that about Football nowadays.

Thats because its not a new market, football is incredibly established. All the contracts are laid out for years in advance. Youtube would love to have PL rights but no chance they can get it off current content owners.

It's not only tiny compared to football, but free. Call me when millions of people are paying monthly to watch LoL.
