Recently, baseball has become a minor sport, and most of the viewers are older people who do not like bat flip. Nowadays, baseball is really boring without star players. Why are you watch a baseball? huffingtonpost.com
Why do you watch baseball??
Hunter Anderson
Mason Gray
Why do you care?
Xavier Roberts

Landon Moore

Aaron Morris
Because they enjoy the sport.

Sorry, but the baseball is dying thing is the biggest sports myth there is.
A lot of these "journalists" uses ESPN ratings to make their case, which is retarded since baseball fans will likely be watching their own teams on a regional sports network over a nationally televised game.
And regionally, baseball outdraws the NHL and NBA playoffs.
Participation is fine:
>Baseball and softball combined to rank as the most participated team sport in 2016, according to the annual report by the Sports & Fitness Industry Association, a leader in sports participation research.
The only people who peddle the myth (left-leaning journalists) are those interested in seeing apehoop supplant it because they think since a lot of black people play basketball, it's "progressive" and "diverse."
Case in point:

Fact is the MLB is the most diverse league out of the Big 4.

Your post may be completely true, but the fact that you posted that horrible website made your opinion irrelevant
John Peterson
They probably enjoy it. I know I do. I believe baseball also does fine locally, much better than the NBA and NHL do.

>2013
All those teams were terrible were in 2013. And the dipshit who made that conveniently left out Los Angeles and Boston, both of which had winning teams.
Let's how baseball does in "Lebron crazed" Cleveland.
>The club’s April 11 home opener against the White Sox drew a SportsTime Ohio single-game record with a 19.58 household rating.
That's higher than any regular season Cavs game ever.
Noah Rogers
Baseball was the first love of my life.
It's a traditionalist sport
America's pastime
Samuel Jackson
Why does the nu-left hate baseball so much?
Chase Harris
basedball is the most comfy sport though
Nolan Morris
>Why are you watch a baseball?

David Bennett
baseball is fine and will never die
maybe one day they may shorten the schedule but that won't happen for decades if it even does happen
Robert Sullivan
MLB has not done a good job of marketing their players since the end of the steroid era but they have a done of money in the coffers to start marketing whenever they feel like that's necessary. A lot of the top players are high profile within their own cities, yet very rarely is this the case with NHL players in American cities.
Whenever MLB feels like it needs to feed its stars to the tabloids it will start doing so.
Kevin Williams
That was the dodgers year and it wasn't even close
The braves had nothing on them that year
Aiden Harris
You misspelled Yankees wrong. That was going to be Mattingly's first and only WS ring
Asher Campbell
>Phillies have been shit since 2011

This is the most accurate and underrated post.
>Huffington Post
tabloid garbage.
Biggest issue with MLB is that there are a lot of broadcasting restrictions that don't apply to football. Cuts viewership by a huge amount.
