My idea of parity is being able to be competitive in the playoffs and making it to the conference finals once in a while. Pure parity would mean a team would win a championship once every 30-32 years, win the CF once every 15 years, etc. which is lol never gonna happen. So when I think about parity I think about what leagues are able to take teams from the bottom to entertaining contenders the quickest. There are always going to be bottom-feeders due to poor ownership, management, etc. but from my perspective it seems like the NFL has the best parity right now with the NBA having the least. Anyway those are my dumb thoughts.

the NFL is absolutely horrible by that metric, there have been 5 teams absolutely stomping the AFC for the last 20 years. Since like '04, the only non-Steelers/Ravens/Pats/Colts/Broncos have made it into the AFC championship 3 times between 2 teams. And both lost.

the NFC is better slighlty, but Ben/Tom/Peyton were kicking everyone's rear end over in the AFC for a very long time.

like I said I'm dumb :(

e: the NFL only playing one game per series vs. the 7-game series of the other leagues does make it different, though
