Pretty low when you account for the amount of games, tbqh.

Ive said a million times.

Baseball demographic is cable middle aged white watchers.

Most Soccer, Basketball folks etc. A majority of their fans are nbastreams/material.

Baseball is a dying sport and will die together the 35+ white watchers

"We believe that this agreement strikes the appropriate balance between the shared goal of permitting players to express their individuality while maintaining reasonable restrictions on shoe colors and designs," MLB commissioner Rob Manfred said in a statement.

The new rules take effect for next season.

"Players welcome the expanded opportunity to express themselves and engage with fans through innovative design," union head Tony Clark said.

Asians and Latinos are more prominent in MLB than NFL and especially NBA. As the white population decreases so do the white cucks watching NBA/NFL.

Muh young people stream. Streaming accounts for very little of NBA viewership. And illegal streams are meaningless since the league can't monetize those. And there's more baseball fans in the 18-44 demo than there are in 45-65 demo :lol

Latinos are more likely to watch the MLB than whites, with blacks not too far in overall percentage. This is kind of data network brass looks at when offering contracts:

https://morningconsult.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/180321_crosstabs_BRANDS_v1_DK-1.pdf

The 18-29 are 21% very likely to watch an MLB game. The 30-44 demo is at 26%. The 55-64 demo, which is supposedly baseball's "key demo," is at 23%. There's 130 million millennials and Gen Xers in the US. MLB and network brass aren't sounding any alarms because interest in the MLB among the key 18-44 demo is no different than interest among boomers, who according to many morons, are the demographic "keeping baseball alive." Other polls have also showed there is more interest among millennials and Gen Xers in the MLB than the NBA. MLB outdraws the NBA counterpart in 15 of 17 shared markets. NBA has its twitter drama going for it, which people will grow out of. The NBA is very much a gimmick league that appeals to children and immature twitter "hypebeast" culture.

And the political affiliation of baseball fans is split. Fox rednecks watch Nascar.

Baseball polls better with younger people than basketball. Illegal streams are irrelevant because we don't know the number of viewers for each. It really doesn't matter since I seriously doubt illegal streams get more than half a million viewers in either case.
