Baseball is hardly "dying." The only sport doing better than it in America is the NFL.

NBA is doing better.

Several factors for me..

No steriods - I want jacked up monsters crushing the ball 600 ft...

Aluminum bats - see roids... I want the ball hit to I-70 from the K...

There is nothing pure about baseball, its boring, its played out and basically, people just dont care about it anymore...

Most of the NBA is bleeding money. The NBA as a whole is in deep financial trouble and on the verge of a lockout. You essentially have a few teams competing and the rest of the league looking to cut costs to survive.

The NFL maybe on the verge of a lockout too.

It's a completely different situation. The NFL and most of its teams are in much better financial shape.

Just exactly WTF are you talking about?

Hell, you might as well have said the WNBA is doing better than the NFL and you'd be damn near as rooted in fact as the above quoted statement.

The NBA is hemorrhaging money, attendance is down and the product is as poor as it's ever been...and I'm an NBA defender! I'm one of the few genuine fans of the league left.

This is possibly the dumbest thing I've read on this board...well at least in the last hour anyway.

When the NBA went ganster-thug, it died...

Wasn't the NBA talking about giving bailout money to a couple of franchises? Just a few months ago, IIRC.

What is this, 2002? Allen Iverson isn't the league's poster-boy anymore buddy.

They did bailout a few teams, including Orlando, a team that was in the freaking finals.

I'll be damned.

I don't follow the NBA much, haven't for about 15 years. I was a huge fan back in the day.

the mlb is fixed, it's funny how the royals go on their "streaks"

That is one of the cutest, most touching short videos I've ever seen.

Personally, I think the proliferation of the home run ball is what did it for me.

The home was more exciting when you didn't see it so regurlarly, game in and game out.

That and the station to station ball that became the norm as the result.

Baseball was a lot more enjoyable whe you had phenominal base steelers and aggressive base running.

Baseball isn't dead in Los Angeles.

Dodgers Stadium is routinely packed and the Angels stadium is the same.

It may be dead in Denver, but what isn't?

:p
