You can't guarantee NFL contracts because brehs won't go as hard if they know that are getting paid regardless. ..

MLB Struggling To Attract One Key Demographic

Fresh off a thrilling World Series in which TV ratings were up from last year, not everything is look good for Major League Baseball.

One key demographic -- children ages 6 to 17 -- is conspicuously losing interest in the sport. According to the Wall Street Journal, kids accounted for 4.3 percent of the average audience for the ALCS and NLCS this year, down from 7.4 percent one decade ago. Kids made up about 4.6 percent of the World Series audience. That figure is lower than the number of kids in the 6-17 range who watch the NFL, NBA, NHL and the English Premier League.

Making the situation more troublesome for MLB is that fewer kids are playing Little League. Matthew Futterman of the Wall Street Journal notes that 2.1 million children played Little League baseball last year, down from 2.6 million in 1997.

The problem with the national pastime isn't just that it's past bedtime. More likely it is that baseball is slower and less action-packed than most other sports.

There is at least one positive sign for baseball. Bob Bowman, chief executive of MLB Advanced Media, told the Wall Street Journal that fans downloaded 10 million copies of MLB.com's mobile app this season. That's an increase of 3.3 million from last season. Many of those downloads are likely coming from kids.

"We know that with kids today, that is the best way to reach them," Bowman said. "And in some cases that's the only way to reach them."

Still, this downward trend feels ominous for many baseball enthusiasts. If fewer kids are following the sport now, what will viewership be like in 10, 20, 30 and 40 years?

"The NFL is far and away the most popular league in the United States. In almost every state, the NBA was the second-most popular league, but the MLB and NHL did make a few appearances in the number two spot. New York is the only state in which the NBA is the most popular league. In Florida, Oklahoma and Oregon, the NBA and NFL tie for first. With the knowledge that NFL is the most popular sport in America, you might guess that the most popular sports position would be one from the NFL. You’d be right"

The Relationship of Fantasy Football Participation with NFL Television Ratings

The Relationship of Fantasy Football Participation with NFL Television Ratings


My Two Words for the NFL

I’m talking about the National Football League and the nefarious things this immensely powerful institution does to insult and injure the millions of respectable sports gamblers and casual bettors who have made professional football into what it’s become — the most popular sport in America and the biggest money-making sports enterprise in the history of the world.

Are NFL executives really naive enough to believe tens of millions of “sports fans” are tuning into its games each and every week just to see which team wins?

Seriously?

Sure, the most attractive games with two popular teams with winning records playing in primetime usually attract the biggest viewing audiences. But what about the countless other games on the NFL schedule spread out over the course of the regular season — including dozens of meaningless contests between losing teams, bad franchises, and lopsided blowouts when relatively few fans really care who wins or what happens?

Who’s watching those games?

I’ll give you a hint.

Take the Monday Night Football game between the Tennessee Titans and New York Jets played back on December 17, 2012. That night, two dismal teams played a completely meaningless late season game with absolutely no playoff implications whatsoever.

How did the national television ratings do?

Well, they were just about as high that week as any other. So was the Philadelphia-Carolina game three weeks earlier — another ghastly contest between two last-place teams with no playoff prospects.

Fact is, all NFL games are watchable for two reasons. First, millions of people are betting money on the games. Second, Fantasy Football has become immensely popular. A convincing case can also be made that these two activities are one and the same, since most Fantasy Football leagues reward winners with cash prizes. So, it’s all essentially related to gambling.

Fact: Gambling is the jet fuel that makes the NFL fly.

Football games aren’t just watchable to those that gamble; they’re also interesting from start to finish — no matter what the score. Don’t think for a minute that a 38-0 blowout isn’t riveting theater in the closing minutes, especially when the game total is 40 points, and one more “meaningless ” field goal might swing billions of gambling dollars. Sure, everyone already knows which team’s going to win. But for the hundreds of thousands of gamblers throughout the United States (and scattered over the world) who now wager on pro football, and particularly those who bet totals (the over/under on the game), second-half lines, or a multitude of other player and team propositions, the game remains every bit as interesting as a Super Bowl going into overtime. And that means no matter who’s playing, or what the score is, gamblers are tuning into these lousy games, watching the bombardment of mindless television commercials, and indirectly forking over billions in profit to team owners, players, and the league through revenue sharing.

To prove this point, consider the following scenario. Let’s say two NFL games are being shown on television. The first is a much-anticipated big game between two first-place teams. The second is a terrible match between two last-place teams. Which game gets the higher ratings? Easy answer.

But let’s add the caveat that you’ve got $200 riding on the outcome of the bad game between the two last-place teams. Now, which game do you prefer to watch?

Multiply that obvious answer by millions of sports bettors and it’s apparent what drives a lot of interest and viewership.

In short, we gamblers are responsible for what the NFL has become — America’s real pastime.

Numbers wise it's more difficult to make the NBA so that money is concentrated

Ain't like the players gonna lockout anyway, they always bend over and take it from the owners

 

[David_TheMan]

NFL players are the dumbest motherfukkers on the planet, just plain stupid people.
Now they want to cry, but after a strike they'll be the first ones calling the owner asking for a loan or some shyt because they are dumb fukks.

Is that really true?? If it is, that's ridiculous. On every level (High School, College, & Pros), Basketball is more popular & gets more media attention/exposure than Baseball.
