    You would think that said millionaire would have at least a state-of-the-art security system. Inside job? Or some real heavy duty criminal types. Or, like the Dodgers' offense failed, did he fail to set the code?

    Huge number for a 5-0 game not backed by any kind of story line (don't really think the Hurricane storyline crosses over) or featuring Lebron/Curry level megastars. About the same number as Game 7 of the 2016 NBA Finals.

    The rain "burn" is probably the stupidest thing the povertyball crew has come up with. A pitcher would have little control of a wet ball and could potentially bean someone in the face, while the field would get waterlogged and every groundball hit would just die in the mud.

    Quit fronting, Lefty. You've been watching baseball long enough to know it's impossible to play in rain at a high level. Try tracking a 120mph ball in a misty environment.

    A few drops of rain also too much for basketball. It's why they play it indoors.

    Wait, basketball games have higher ratings than baseball? I thought baseball was more popular in the US.

    Last year's Game 7 was higher rated than any basketball game in history. This game higher rated than every basketball game in history aside from the Cleveland Curse game 7 and Jordan Finals. And no megastars or storylines needed. The NBA Finals would struggle to break 15 million sans Curry/Lebron.

    Thing is you're trying to equate two games/sports (like billiards and gaming, moreso gaming) where athleticism doesn't really play a significant role in the outcome (e.g. you can't jump higher, run faster, throw harder, etc to gain an advantage in a Starcraft match) to sports that pretty much everyone who isn't biased agree prominently feature all around athleticism (like baseball).

    I would also argue modern golf is an athletic sport. This isn't the golf of Craig Stadler and John Daly. A golf swing is a pretty intense athletic event that uses the entire body in unison. If you're not in great physical condition, expect major back and hip problems throughout your career. Definitely not an athlete:



    Like I said, your view of athleticism is narrow. I consider it the ability to control several parts of your body well enough to get them working together in unison in order to perform some physical feat (swinging, throwing, kicking, etc). If anything, "running around" is the least athletic of the various core traits because it's simple to do right out of the proverbial box. I would consider peak Tiger Woods a better athlete than Usain Bolt, because the athletic skill Tiger had to learn is a lot more multidimensional than just running fast in a straight line.
    Oh right, post a pic of a golfer that also happens to work out. That must mean it's because of the physical demands of golf.

    Actually, this game was higher rated than Game 7, 2016. 18.2 vs. 15.8, means 18.2 million households vs. 15.8.

    Still no argument, I see.

    Golf is more physically demanding. Requires the learning of very precise total body movement in order to play proficiently. Running around a track doesn't require much of anything to perform except pure effort (and yes, I know sprinters learn how to stride properly, but that really isn't ). Don't know why you continue the simple mindset of "tiring=physically demanding."

    Not an argument. Does posting videos on youtube require the precise function of legs, hips, arms, back, head all "athletically" functioning together to hit a ball to a precise spot some 300 yards away?

    Running around is the least impressive and demanding there is. It's why kids love to do it

    I'm breathing heavy, so it must be demanding

    Oh, and didn't I get done just telling you that, yes, he needs that body because of the physical demands of golf. It wreaks on your hips and back. Usain Bolt runs in a straight line for about 10 seconds, gets to take 2 hour breaks between heats, and two days between semi-final/final, is under little-to-no pressure to perform any type of fine motor skill, but he's the worlds greatest athlete or something because...

    Yeah, makes sense. That's probably why it's the favourite sport of retirees across USA
