you really believe that shit?


it will NEVER catch up the MLB

the closest it was a number two sport was in the 90s son before you were even born

Young people watch NBA way more than MLB. MLB fans are much closer to death than NBA fans. Also kids idolize Lebron and Steph ,etc . Vast majority of kids couldn't pick mike Trout out of a group

>>75765051
It makes like half as much money as the MLB and half the NBA teams are in the red

lol this is the opposite of true

The nerds in honors were the biggest pussies and betas.

For 30 years niggers have been saying "sheeeeeit next year is the year the NBA becomes the #2 sport". Never happened never will happen because all of it's fans are poor niggers, half the teams lose money lmao.

They need to liven the atmosphere at parks. Get more latinos in, they all showed up for the World Baseball Classic.

The Doyers have made deep inroads with LA's hispanic and asian population and have only failed to be top 3 in attendance the year fans boycotted because McCourt was a cunt.

The Yankees were also at the top before they built their new stadium, also because of the inroads with the brown community.

We gotta accept that baseball is a latino and asian sport now and we need to draw them in, let the white kids come back when they see a more exciting game.

Have cheap tickets, don't excessively pander, but have giveaways that target the community as opposed to pandering to the community. Play a diverse range of music at the stadium, have a bit of tradition but let that tradition change.

Also corporate sponsorship shouldn't be taboo, it's normal in those countries, we should make it normal here. People secretly love ads in places like that.

White people came to the NBA after black people, but now white kids love the NBA. Brown kids like Baseball, make the MLB more latin and asian and the white kids will come back when the quality and "fun" factor is up.

Don't demonize the Puigs, make them into stars.

>%
The MLB stadiums not consistently selling out just indicates that Baseball lost out to football as most popular. The highest attendance baseball team still sells over 2 times the highest attendence Basketball team on average with twice as many games and total over 3 times the amount over a season. Even the baseball team with the worst attendence still has a higher total over an entire season.

The NBA has an extremely outsized influence compared to its actual popularity, Baseball is likely to remain #2 for the very long future. People have been saying Basketball will overtake it for decades, yet similar to soccer it never happens.

>>75765894
If NBA had the demand for seats that MLB does, the NBA owners would build arenas to seat that many people.

Unless you think these billionaire investors are just choosing to forego another 10-20k fans in the seats per game for no particular reason?

>>75766373
Yeah. I'm sure there are 15,000 people in every city clamoring to get into an NBA game but they can't because the stadium is too small.

There's no superstars but I can name my teams entire starting lineup and most casuals in my area could name a few players locally as opposed to the nearest basketball team "OKC" which only one people could really name is Durant who left kek.

Basketball isn't interesting and the post seasons a joke, it's a circlejerk of superstars and the sports a joke when you can call the championship game 3 years in a row before the season started and be right.

Cavs and GSW how shocking

Yeah nah. American Football is basically chess with people if you actually know anything about how it's played.

Also that's another reason baseball is boring as fuck, pitching and batting. The best fucking hitter of all time only hit .366 which is fucking trash. Pitchers routinely get pulled out because they can't finish a game and the season is so long you straight up can't watch every single game your team plays unless you devote a retarded amount of time to baseball.

The thing about baseball is that it really has very little national appeal. No one cares about watching games that aren't their own team, at least until the playoffs happen. There are just so many games that spending 3 hours watching one with teams you don't care about is a waste of time.

My problem with baseball is that I just don't see the point in watching it when my team sucks. I also don't see the point in watching other teams' games when there are 162 of them and each game only counts for about 0.5% of a team's season.

I am a fan of the Oakland A's, When the team is good, I will go to and watch a shit ton of games. But when the team is not good (which is most years), I just don't see why I should spend three hours watching a team suck.

It has nothing to do with my attention span. I watch almost every baseball playoff game when they are on. It's just that following your baseball team closely is such a grind, especially these random weekday April, May, June, July games.

I watch ever 49er game even when they suck because there's only 16 of them so each game feels like it matters somewhat, and this is also why I can watch other teams' games or NFL redzone

No the Mets are pretty shitty, but Citifield is pretty cool. tickets will be dirt cheap if they're doing poorly. (Like 15$ for good seats at the last minute).

NBA is half of MLB

People gotta understand basketball is a swag fag era sport and we are in the swag fag era. I used to watch basketball alot and only stopped watching when some of my favorite players retired. I turned to baseball and immediately loved it. All i can say is anyone who shits on baseball reall does have a short attention span is probably a swag fag little bitch.
There is plenty of athleticism in baseball, alot of young and up and coming talent. Seems like every team has a future superstar now.

Dont bother arguing with these faggots, baseball bros.
