I know, it's Peter King, but he's just quoting somebody.

I'm not so sure about people leaving baseball. I have a friend who works for the Royals...even they still get pretty good crowds.

Still, if the NFL goes that way, maybe there's a small chance for seeing people get so fed up with pro leagues that they become a thing of the past. I'd love to see college being the furthest a person can go with athletics; I've seen too much academic potential believe so whole-heartedly in making it pro that they wasted their college career to train, play, and get dumped into the first cubicle they could find.

I don't think it's a good thing, but really... you look at football and it's the same three teams every year anyway. Patriots, Colts, and Steelers. Baseball isn't a level playing field at all, but the common argument is baseball is broken and football is great. And baseball's actually had 7 or 8 different teams win this decade. Small market teams like Florida and Tampa have had success, at least for a year or two at a time. We don't even get that in football. It's the Patriots and Colts just like every other year. And if they falter here comes the Steelers.

I think that was due to the "New K" and everything associated with it.

Towards the end, it was an abyss.

The crowds will be absolute shit there next year if they play anything like they did season. There's just no justification to go spend the ridiculous money they ask for.
