Is baseball dying?

In 2004, baseball had 25 million viewers and 15.8 rating
In 2012, 12.7 million viewers and 7.6 rating.

You tell me

obv its gone down but those ratings also have alot to do with the teams playing..

phillies and rays playing lol, yankees in the next year and a 6 mil spike

[dweeegs]

Your body is a gigantic % of your life and well being. It's ridiculous that you think you can just stop working out because you're writing a paper.


How pathetic lol

LMAO

Yea, stopping my lifting for two months is ten times better than getting a paper published and getting into a top 10 grad school for chemical engineering

Obviously those two months are WAY more important than the rest of my life and future jobs (lmfao)

It's not just writing the paper, the experimentation is the biggest time sink.

You are very short-sighted

There has never been anything that required a human being to completely and entirely stop doing something as easy to do as lift weights to get into grad school.


How fukking retarded are you. Dead serious. Lol, keep making sad ass excuses under the guise of working too hard on your undergrad college career.

I'll still be here, and I'll still be wayyyyyyy better than you at everything you've ever done.



"Nah man I can't lift this month, I have to write this 24 hours a day for the next 30 days okay man? Lifting would just.... it's just too hard to do at the same time"

I get it, you think lifting is everything LOL. I guess I wouldn't expect you to know anything about education really.

You've taken fluid dynamics too??

"Nah man I can't lift this month, I have to write this 24 hours a day for the next 30 days okay man? Lifting would just.... it's just too hard to do at the same time"

"Nah man, I have a time restraint on this article since grad school applications are soon" you fuking idiot

[EvilChicken]

Only a few of the people I know that go to baseball games actually care about the game.

Want to name drop our majors courses to make up for not being jacked? I'm not that insecure man, sorry.

I'll leave the pathetic projecting up to you, you're doing a great job.

So far you're a chem major who has taken fluid dynamics and can't lift a single weight because it's apparently THAT hard.

Keep going!

[mattvdh]

I don't care if it dies or not, but hockey is clearly a better sport than any of them listed. Non stop action, it's brutal as fawk, sick intensity. Football is #2 but it's too much start/stop not enough action. Rugby should be in its place really, now that's a hardcore sport.

Chem Engineer. You have no knowledge of what hard school work is, how much I study. I'll enjoy making more money than you though

BAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA

Oh **** I'm done here, I have a presentation to finish.

Keep lifting sd, it's all you got going for you. Ignored, I won't miss your NBA troll threads

You are hypothesizing that one day you will make more money than me, and counting that as a victory. Wow. Amazing.

Hey you ignored! That is a hilarious way to admit defeat.

Feelsgoodman, my IQ was getting lower talking to you.

Seriously though I do have work to do. You provided the laughs for long enough

Just sayin'

[sdballer5588]

lol @ dweeegs still here. I thought he was done? Guess I violated him too much.

[travellingbrah]

Baseball isn't dying it's just falling out of prominence. It's definitely on a downswing and I don't see the sport ever regaining the popularity it had at it's peak or even during the steroid era...

I think in another generation or 2 it will be:

1. football
2. basketball
3. soccer
4. baseball
5. hockey

[dweeegs]

I unblocked you, need some more shiggles.

Multitasking bro

[reLaxx1]

lol
how can you choose the slowest stop and go sport over watching constant action?

you'd love bravo, you've heard of bravo? no? you'd love bravo

Constant action doesn't mean it's always exciting, and I like soccer.

You tell me

are you phucking retarded? you're really going to base the entire phucking popularity of the sport off of world series viewers/rating. I would bet the NBA would have had worse ratings if two small market teams were playing

just curious, what major are you in? you seem to have unlimited free time to make basketball threads, and live vicariously through lebron. You've had the same avi (minus the lebron shop) for like a year, and when anyone asks you about lifting im pretty sure you have an excuse ready (basketball injury from playing on JV i think). you are a sad man

[SoutheastBeast1]

Actually lol'd irl at this post and I'm ashamed of it.

It's weird though, the newer generation of athletes continues to be better than the last, yet somehow you think smartphones and computers are hindering athletics.


Odd.

This is true which is a strange occurrence given that its been widely documented that underactivity in adolescents is a major contributor to the rise in adolescent obesity rates.

In general kids are less active these days. That really can't be disputed at this point. Granted it hasn't had any effect on those who still are active.

Rich Luker, a 59-year-old baseball-loving social scientist based in North Carolina, is the brains behind the ESPN Sports Poll, the complex database that recently pronounced soccer as America's second-most popular sport for those age 12-24, outstripping the NBA, MLB and college football.

It only looks that way when you absolutely know nothing about the sport. I'm sure people in the UK think the NFL is just big dudes hitting each other.

[ShweezyBTFO]

Or maybe you stopped lifting because you can't stand the failure. I tend to stop doing things I suck at as well, most people do actually.
