>this garbage
no 1 sport in Australia as a whole is cricket, an ancestor to baseball, which some would argue is even more portracted and boring

I love that baseball is doing fantastic financially and yet the normie faggots never talk about it. I don't have to listen to uneducated niggers on ESPN constantly debate about it or retarded coworkers talk about how "sick" that Lebron dunk was last night bro

Because you think today's spastic kids could tand whole baseball games? You're just delusional
Core fans of baseball are the oldest, reaching now 65 years ON AVERAGE (that means there are a lot of 70 and 80+ years olds). And theses fans won't magically renew themselves the day they die, because children aren't interested in baseball (less than 5% below 18 years old)

>>76793135
As people get older, the group as a whole turns into more baseball fans, never less. Soccer is a little kids game here, it's always supposedly going to become the big sport because it always polls well with 12 year olds. The problem nobody understands is those 12 year olds grow up and move past soccer.

It's like asking a little kids what their favorite meal is and when the say cut-up hot dogs you assume there will be Michelin star restaurant devoted to making them in 30 years.

>>76793230
Accept now in the digital age, and with all these north american kids getting into fifa, I don't think this retraction will happen. All the US needs to make soccer popular there is some good homegrown players, like Pulisic for example.

>Of the 30 teams in Major League Baseball, eleven—more than one-third of the league—had the highest-rated, most-watched local programming in prime time on both broadcast and cable.
>Overall, 17 MLB teams—over half the league—rank in the top 3 in local prime time (7p-11p) TV ratings on their respective RSNs.

The MLB is doing just fine, 50% of viewers are over 55, which means on average you'll get another 20+ years out of them, seems like a good situation to me, even if your ridiculous numbers are true.

>The MLB is doing just fine, I s-swear

Baseball is only "popular" because there is multiple month long stretch where it has no other major sport to compete with.

Cricket is basically a dumb and boring version of baseball. The amount of subtlety and tactical and athletic ability on display in baseball makes cricket looks like the shitty joke that it is.

Cricket will NEVER be able to match the tradition and history and folklore of baseball either.

And don't even get me started on attendance and revenue. Baseball attracts 75 million people annually just in the MLB. Further 25 million people attend Japanese baseball and add other millions in caribbean and other nations. On the other hand, if you add up all the cricket attendances worldwide, they would struggle to cross even 10 million ROFLOL.

And oh, MLB is a $9.5 BILLION annual industry! Cricket is not even 1/10th of that LMAO.

All in all, cricket can fuck right off.

>>76793533
NO soccer league in the world will EVER come close to MLB in terms of total attendance and revenue. This must be absolutely devastating for any soccer fan.

>baseball is becoming bigger than football in South Korea
I don't believe you
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sport_in_South_Korea
Also football is used as a dick measuring contest between countries. South Korea would never give it up to let China (and Japan) and certainly not North Korea win more than them,

>>76793916
I said that STILL is popular there not that was growing

What is growing is football, since 2002 WC 'Miracle'

Besides those ratings, the Average of Attendance are still giving advantage for baseball (8000 vs 10500 aprox. in last year) besides nowdays Koreans are giving more attention for premier league than K-League

Us British islers prefer rounders mate

>>76792443
A clock is what separates baseball from other sports. No clock is what makes it unique. I like the dramatic stare downs desu sometimes

>>76794683
no clock, like in tennis, volley-ball, table tennis, cricket (they beat you on this), golf?
Also sports with clock are superior, because they introduce an additionnal dimension of time management.
No clock is like saying "there, there, you'll get your equal chances at the game too my little crybaby"

>>76793854
the national team is more popular, but baseball is far more popular domestically, it's not even close
