Dont get me wrong,the NFL has its problems with viewership,that cant be debated. But they dont come anywhere close to the problems baseball is having of being a sport fans will continue to watch and show up to games. No surprise in the least.This generations fans have access to all home games all year long though cable and are able to tune into them with smart phones
Not to mention back in my heyday in the 70's,it was a major thing all year long to get excited about your baseball team and to listen to them on the radio since back then,you had the game of the week on every saturday afternoon and that was IT.
Except for people who had cable and could see the cubs and braves of course.the game of the week meant something back then.I got excited on saturday mornings to tune in to THIS WEEK IN BASEBALL. This generations fans cant sit though a baseball game as we did,they have gotten longer but more importantly,with the way baseball is now how players jump form one team to another so quickly and the major market teams have such an advantage over the small market teams because of this,does this REALLY surprise anyone that baseball is dying?
The owners ruined the game by paying them so much money like they do.
NFL certainly has its issues, but Major League Baseball is the one that’s truly suffering
