Baseball is only exciting for the winners....aka the big market teams...
*cough* Yankees, Sox, Phillies, Mets *cough*
If every team had a reasonable chance.....more fans would be interested....and there would be more fan fare....and thus increasing the prestige of the sport....
But you're right...MLB is going down...
Sure...it just had a sudden spurt of money in form of revenue...
But we all know...that the bubble is gonna pop...
And btw....NFL takes 4 hrs too.....plus more (annoying) ads after ever almost ever play
I mean...there is ad after a touchdown, FG, kickoff, and injury which happens every other play...
yeah....I say NFL games can get pretty long too...so your theory doesn't really work...
