Fucking Selig ruined the game. Cancelling the world series, destroying the Expos, a CBA that makes half the league into farm clubs for the Yankees and Red Sox, looking the other way while the two most hallowed records in all of professional sports are forever ruined by roided out faggots, and the top players of his tenure can't get into the Hall of Fame. Great legacy there, Bud.

I think the competitive imbalance between big and small markets is a far bigger issue than PEDS, tbh.

[Clipper Nation]

Fans sleeping during games >>>>>>> fans acting like racist bloodthirsty morons, rioting, and singing like a bunch of faggots :lol

[The Gemini Method]

Throwing bananas and causing stands to collapse...and a propensity to promote Neanderthal-like behavior aside, you'd think Lefty would support a sport (baseball) that gives underprivileged brown people a chance. I mean, futbol/soccer helps similar types of people for also-ran countries like Algeria and Albania have something worthwhile to cheer for. But then again, I follow soccer/futbol on a miniscule level...I would say the disparity between big market and small market is apparent more so in baseball...but perhaps the draw is that the attention span of the next few generations will be how fast a Twitter is read and an InstaGram picture is captivated in their mind. The slower pace in baseball is a nostalgic one and could be lost to them...

FUUUUUCK this shit. I hate hearing that piece of shit in the 7th inning stretch now instead of Take Me Out to the Ballgame.

Let us know the last baseball game that ended 0-0 where the fans rioted, chased the umpires
down and tried to kill them, threw shit and urine bombs at the players, threw fire bombs and firecrackers
at the players, set the stands on fire, started a war with the country that beat you, the drunk fans
outnumber the sober fans 10-1 and have your fans banned from the country your team is playing in. This
is not the game you see in the U.S. What you see here is a 0-0 game with more flopping than a NBA game
with the fans sucking their Capri Sun and eating orange slices with the snack bar selling tofu burgers. http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb270/systime/SMILEYS%20%20222/aloofandbored12.gif

What are the ratings in other sports? The NBA ratings are also down from the 1980s and 1990s. Just too many other options of things to do now with the internet and personal phones.

They have been saying this since the 1970s.

[rascal]

Soccer will not over take baseball. Soccer is boring unless it is world cup and that is only because it is country vs country. Team x from a city vs team Y from another city no one cares about, the game itself is boring if it is not World Cup.

[rascal]

Baseball didn't take off in other countries because they couldn't buy the equipment to play, too poor to play as kids. Much cheaper just getting one soccer ball and kick that around.

[rascal]

Because it's not a sport
Baseball is the greatest sport. Rare team sport that is not dictated by a time clock, also play begins with the defense holding the ball.

lol at this retarded take. In some of the poorest countries in the World like those in Central America baseball if very popular.

If it hasn't happened by now it probably never will.

Hell Soccer is even less popular than NASCAR here and somehow it will take over Baseball anytime soon? I wouldn't bet the house on that happening.

[lefty]

Who gives a fuck, baseball is more popular than soccer only in the U.S :lol
The fattest country in the World; coincidence ? :lol

What does fat have to do with a sport being popular or not son?

For every fat baseball player there are about 50 floppers in Soccer. Kinds of evens out imo.

[lefty]

Well soccer players flop because they actually run
It's easier to sell a foul a full speed

It will happen son. Is inevitable. Baseball is a sport for old farts.

Looks like he is hitting his team mate. This looks like play acting(fooling around) and not really in a game.

Soccer is stupid.

Can you imagine if LeBron were on the break, caught the pass and a whistle blew? I'm sorry, the ref said, you were too far ahead of everyone else. You might have scored easily.

Can you imagine if it were SO difficult to score in the NBA that games could be decided by each team shooting a set number of FTs afterwards?
