Why is tanking not an issue for the NFL, even as it sends a lower % of teams to the playoffs than the NHL and NBA? Because it has the most parity of all leagues. When the NHL (and the NBA too, which is worse right now with 3 teams fielding 8-33 or worse records) has the kind of parity we see in the NFL, tanking will no longer by an issue. But the NFL has it made in terms of competitive balance, the other leagues do not. That's the key to ending tanking.
