NFL revenues are around 6 billion, according to forbes.

That is 16 billion right there. Add in NHL, MLB, NBA and DVD sales/rentals, I am sure the number is in the neighbourhood of $20-$30 billion easily.

Still impressive, that is as big as any one of those entities though.
Likely he heard it on a show that used that number but either the poster or the show he heard it on misinterpretted the meaning. Thought it to be an all inclusive thing instead of the "or" that it actually is. Basically it just means for every dollar you spend on hockey you are spending a dollar on some sort of adult entertainment. Bunch of perverts

The number that stuck out to me was the 50 % of hotel rooms rented have porn charges. People really do become someone else when away from people who recognize them. Again, you perverts.

Remember Jesus is watching you download/order porn.
