It has been said that baseball is America’s pass time.
Not so fast my friend.
There is one reason that it is not that way, it is baseball’s own fault.
Over the past thirty to fifty years, there have been may scandals and strikes that has killed the sport. Also that there may be way too many games.
The NFL, on the other hand, is in good standing with general sports public. When they have had a strike, they have solved it amicably and fast. Also, when they have had problems other than strikes, they have been proactive. They have gotten on the issue as quickly as possible and generally has nipped it in the bud.
I am not going to say that baseball will go the way of boxing, but it could get close.
