>baseball will die in your lifetime
football will probably die first
uh? what makes you say that?
>>69086984
Have you seen how empty baseball stadiums are? Even for top teams.
It's too slow and boring. It's not 1948 anymore where popop would put the game on the radio while he fixed the truck and mom made a pie. People have smart phones and cable TV and shit to do now. No one wants to sit around for 4 hours and watch 2 guys throw a ball back and forth unless you're 90 and in a nursing home.
>>69086920
I really hope it does so your american kids entirely switch to the one and true sport: soccer. And so you to become good at this

>>69086981
They both need to go desu
Oh look it's the guys with a fatherless childhood up to their old tricks again. :( I feel bad for you guys that grew up without a dad to play catch with. :/

that's why more people saw USA vs Belgium than the superbowl :-')

both of those are dying

>>69091213

Maybe internationally, but I would be willing to bet my life on the fact that more Americans watched Super Bowl XLVIII than any game in the 2014 world cup
Boomers have just begun to die off. Over he next 30 years, baseball will decline steadily as they go before leveling off. I don't see this as a good or bad thing, just reality.
>>69087967
only because they play a fuckton more games. If the NBA had that many games they would make way more.
>>69086920

>cable tv
baseball is dying precisely because cable tv is dying too. no more tv deals in the billions when people keep cutting the cord. the only people that watch cable tv are old people too so baseball is gonna live on the immidiate future but young people dont have cable tv and baseball is too slow for the digital age.
>>69092739
>germany in 1948
Your country barely existed.
>>69092365
baseball dies when baby boomers all die.
Honestly it's never gonna die.
Biggest contracts than any US sport
Expensive tv deals across regions
Attendance is steady
Parity parity parity
Kids still play t-ball, baseball, softball
Sure it's not as marketed as heavily as NFL or even NBA but that doesn't meant people don't follow their teams throughout the summer.
Why do you hate baseball in the first place?
>>69092894
People still watch live sports which baseball indeed is.
And fuck this shit that the youth doesn't watch. Go to any game and there are thousands of people under 25.
Basketball also is only on cable and you aren't saying it's dying either
>>69092894

>>69093289
I have season tickets to the MLS in a high latino market every time the opposition goal kicks they yell PUTO. The hipsters despise it but refused to label it as a latino thing.
What's with all the redundant soccer threads on /sp/ all the time? This place fucking sucks now.
Soccer is way worse and boring than baseball. I dont wanna watch 22 nigger faggots flop and pretend to die everytime there pussies get fingered. Baseball has 450 foot homers and crazy diving catches. The best thing about soccer is when the fans go crazy and half of Europe dies
>>69093498
>steroids

>growing
topkek, the WS tv ratings go down every year. its the lowest it has ever been.
>havent had a down year
you mean strikes? can't or elese it will kill the sport quicker.
>mexicans are watching it
Northern Mexicans only care and sadly in your case Southern Mexicans are the ones migrating here not Nortenos. Also to think baseball is more popular than soccer or boxing for a mexican is hilarious.
>more international than basketball
no, basketball is popular in all of continents especially the relevant ones of Europe and North America. Baseball is popular only in communist nations like Cuba or Venezuela.
>consistent billion dollar inustry
....that relied on the cable tv industry which is dying thanks to young people not buying cable tv but opting for netflix.
in 30 years it'll probably be
>nba at the top tier
>mlb, nhl, and mls floating around some vague ether beneath the nba
>nfl literally won't exist because of the awful long-term injuries and terrible economic decisions of the league. there will probably be a new handegg league that will take a decade or two to get to the level nfl was at after the nfl goes under
>>69087597
It's not 1948 anymore
FUCK YOU
It's a great feel
>>69087597
The worst attended baseball team would be middle of the road in NBA or NHL, and thats on a per game basis even though MLB has twice as many games.
You have no fucking clue what youre talking about.
>>69093204
Except there's way more people telling you you're a baiting moron every time you make this thread.
>>69093547
DESU if you are a right wing non-PC type you gotta love beaners because their culture is very anti PC and masculine in the treatment of women. its a banter culture. Shit like 12 Corazones or the chicks in skimpy dresses on Republica Deportiva wouldnt fly on an english channel because of the SJWs.
>>69093752
this is the most level-headed post I've seen in this thread
people saying baseball is gonna die are false flagging football babbies that are afraid of the day when the entire player base goes on strike for an entire generation the and league goes bankrupt
Went to a few Baseball games myself and i can't understand why you guys made this sport popular. Had more fun trying to understand the rules than watching it. The nachos were great though, also had a free cap.
>b-baseball is dying
t. basketball americans
>>69092185
No, MLB teams draw more per game, regardless of how many they play.
Average attendance per game:
MLB: 30,366
NBA: 17,319
Eat a dick faggot
>>69087597
Yet even the worst teams still get more attendance per game than any other sport here but football.
>>69093920
Which teams did you watch
You really have to grow up with it in order to see the appeal. Growing up anywhere but New York, Boston and maybe Chicago thanks to two baseball teams (and delusional Cubs fans) is shit tier for baseball. Asking someone from, say Denver or Seattle, is going to say they hate baseball.
The meme that American youth aren't into baseball is just that, a meme.
The MLB's has more frequent attenders (i.e. real fans) than the all sports aside from the NBA.
And what's the horseshit about cable TV dying?
Cord cutting is another silly myth.
>While 1.2 million Americans have “cut the cord” (consumers ditching their cable bill for online streaming services) in the past four years, that number only accounts for about 1 percent of cable subscribers — hardly the mass exodus that marks the end of paid television.
And if this mass exodus does happen, how do you think these streaming services are going to pay for their costs, which will exponentially rise to unknown levels if they have a user base of 100 or more million?
Yeah, Hulu, currently at 9 million subs, is really going to keep charging 9.99 per month indefinitely.
The cable model will simply transfer over to these streaming services.
>>69093966
NBA arenas dont go into the 30,000 seating range doofus.
>>69093752
>mls
>even on the radar of those other 4
kek
>>69094028
its not cord cutting its cord never'ers. people that wont ever buy cable ever, not just people who cut it. young people aren't cord cutters and never will be because they aint gonna buy into cable tv ever.
>>69093886
>NBA being the top sport is "level headed"
Even current NBA fans are starting to hate their flopping rigged refball nigger sport; they arent attracting any new fans.
MLB has double the revenue of the NBA. If you think basketball will close that gap in 30 years you are a literal retard.
>>69094020
>You really have to grow up with it in order to see the appeal.
No you don't, at least not more than any other sport.
Baseball: White
Hockey : White

Tennis : Nu-Male
Soccer : Newer-male

>still talking out your ass like you've gone to school for this shit
read a book , research a bit you're desperate at this point to think baseball is dying because of TV ratings from the giants WS which has always had poor number with the only exception being the angels WS
>>69094042
So what?
>>69093998
Saw the padres against the mets in San Diego and the Giants against a team i don't remember in San Francisco.
>>69094028
Why the fuck do Americans shorten everything?
>MLS, NBA, NFL, MLB
What the fuck man, just mention the sport.
problem with baseball is kind of the opposite of cricket
game is too much in the pitcher/fielding side's favour and it makes for shitty viewing, why not increase the diameter of the bats by an inch or something?
>>69094280
kind of hard to get 30,000 people average per game when areans can't fit 30,000 people.
>>69094042
And if the NBA has 162 games, with many game on during the day and during weekdays, they wouldn't be able to even fill their arenas to capacity every game.
The NBA isn't really that relevant. Lebron is relevant.
>>69094042
look up the stats from 2015
Even if you were to halve the season for baseball it would still outperform NBA's entire season and that is not even including the concession
we all know NBA is third league tier and has been a step above NHL but you're crazy if you think NBA will overtake baseball any time soon
>>69094211
baseball is the whitest, most patrician sport
>>69094418
this
assblasted shitskins can't handle it
>>69094042
Yet half the teams still can't sellout games.
The truth is that NBA isn't popular in local markets. It gets ratings because it's constantly pushed by ESPN and nignogs around the country are huge bandwagoners. NFL, MLB, and even the NHL gets better local ratings for their teams. None of them are in danger and if you think otherwise, you're a complete asshat.
>>69094418

>>69094541

that's why you're stuck in the containment league of amateur football
>>69094042
The NHL has higher attendance than the NBA dude.
I bet not even 10 NBA teams average 100% attendance so don't say the places are packed
>>69094356
You think team owners are foregoing all that revenue they could be making by building their stadiums too small? That's rich.
How retarded are you exactly?
By your logic MLB is just as popular as NFL, they just built their stadiums too small.
>>69087597
hard for a sport to die when it makes the most money than all the other major sports.
>>69094123
And the cable TV business model will just shift over to these streaming services if streaming gains a monopoly.
Lol at you thinking Netlfix are either going to keep their current price structure and/or not introduce advertisements if they ever become the industry leader.
Streaming is relatively cheap because they are trying to eat into cable's market share.

with streaming you can't force people to pay for your channel like you did in the cable bundle. sports channels got paid a fixed fee regardless if anyone watched the channel or not because of the bundle.
>>69094561

The streaming service is the "channel."
Now instead of a cable package, your new streaming world that you think is going to liberate you from ebil cable, will just be:
NBC on demand: 9.99 per month
ABC on demand: 9.99 per month
ESPN on demand: 9.99 per month
FOX Sports on demand: 9.99 per month
etc, etc, etc.
And if a company like Netflix somehow overtakes the entire industry, it will be:
Netflix basic: 69.99 per month
Netlfix basic + movie: 89.99 per month
Netflix total (basic, movie, sports): 109.99 per month.
>>69094637
>>69094940
I see
That's fucking retarded though. Of course you would like the best league the most. Who the fuck says he likes watching handegg with shoulder pads when and then means the local college instead of the pros.
With charts and talks of the favourite sports in America it should be about the entire sport, not just the big leagues wouldn't it?
Nice going of the jews to have you name their brand as the sport instead of the actual name of the sport though.

College football, baseball, and basketball have different rules than their pro equivalents.
Yes, the games are still similar, but these few rule variations make the sport different enough from their counterpart that some people do prefer the college game over the pro game.
For instance, college football is a lot more high scoring and fast paced than NFL football.
>>69095654
You are mad
basketball is literally a pleb sport, its soccer for orangutans
american football and baseball are far more nuanced and interesting
>>69095335
you're thinking about this too much
how would you feel if I spouted that soccer is unpopular because I decided to generalize it by looking at the polish league or portugal league because no one watches that
now it would be stupid right? especially when spain and britian's league are immensely popular
you have a soccer league I assume ,so do many other countries in europe, the importance of a minor league/amateur league is not the same as the importance of a professional league right? thats it

to fail to realize with cable tv non sport fans pay for sports even though they dont watch it with the bundle. with streaming the amoun of money made by sports channels will go down beccause you arent forced to buy a sports channel when you buy netflix.
