Game too long
Attention spans too short
Tradition too engrained

2020s will kill it off


i love how people dont think it can happen. 60 years ago most people travelled by sea and train not air, milk was delivered by a milk man and black people never had civil rights.

Most people who care about baseball passionately are old people who remember listening to a old cac on the radio, going to a game and scoring a baseball game

this generation is totally different, people's attention span is shorter, kids and teens would rather watch youtube or exciting sports or play fortnite than sit and watch a game that you don't know if its goign to end in 2.5 hours or 3 or 4 or 5 or 6

MLB exceeded the $10billion mark in revenue for the first time ever in 2017, that was the 10th year in a row they broke a record for revenue.

That's largely due to local television numbers, people in their specific city watch their local teams more than ever, that's led to lucrative TV deals. People in St Louis or Detroit or Cleveland aren't gonna watch a LA/Bos WS though, that's where the national ratings die.

As I said before you need a heartland team and a coastal team, or two heartland teams. Most of america hates the red Sox, and once it was clear that they were going to win, the ratings fell
