Monte1076 Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 For me, it's football and baseball. Apparently, there are fewer and fewer people playing football every year. And baseball is at the point where they're instituting a "pitch clock" and trying out other gimmicky things to get fans more interested in the game (and to apparently draw new interest). I mean, maybe I'm just "old" at almost 47, but there are those in the "younger" generation who think a 1-0 baseball game is "boring". Now, don't get me wrong, a 1-0 baseball game can indeed be boring. But ask yourself how many 1-0 baseball games you've watched were compelling. It's all about offense and "pace of play" now. And I think that's causing the slow death of baseball. MLB doesn't know what fans want, and apparently a lot of fans don't either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. There's too many so called sports. While everything doesn't have to be about football, bball, and baseball schools now often have tennis, vball, c.country, track, 7on7, weights, (the netted kickball game with ball spelled f-u-t-b-o-l )and even heard about the pickleball talks.
