Baseball kids get to play 2-3 games a week. Football kids practice 3-4 times and play 8-12 games a year.
My son loves playing baseball he’s a 10 year old playing up in 12u. He wants to play fall ball and quit football then try out for a traveling team. But he runs home from practice and games and turns on YouTube to watch NFL programming. For the same reason he hates playing football barely any games played, he loves the NFL because every game matters. You can’t get him to watch anything about baseball let alone a game on tv (like there’s any of those available without a subscription).
Baseballs getting overtaken by soccer at least where I’m at. And it’s baseballs fault.

Soccer is easier.
Run after ball, try to kick it that way.
I played soccer and first base softball as a little kid. Little kids can't throw accurately to first base.
I played soccer as a kid, but that never created a desire on my part to watch soccer. Soccer just isn't that interesting as a spectator sport.
I never played football, but yeah, I always found it interesting to watch.
