The HR race helped the MLB regain popularity to about the same way they were before. Baseball fans don't really stay away from the game, but casual fans have been increasingly hard to capture for baseball and now their once in a 100 years events (Cubs and Sox) are gone, there's even less of a gimmick reason going forward. The strike really fudged things in the short term, but the difference at this point in where they are and where they could be is completely negligible to me.

It's nuts and sucks that it all that is on when I drive to work for sports. The only different would be there wouldn't have that slump post strike pre Home run chase.

I really respect your opinion, but it's no race. NBA is running away with the #2 spot and is going to be competing soon for #1 if you trust projections. Younger demos watch NBA more than the NFL.

See I don't follow the NBA to know the ratings difference between them and a MLB game. Hard to being that the closest team to me is the Bulls or OK. The NFL yeah I lost a ton of interest after the whole Rams deal, now I'm not saying I was one of those full blown boycott of the league but I wasn't as into it as I was before and honestly the NFL as a league is a double end lite fuse at this point. With these teams moves and pissing off fan bases and greed I feel soon as long Goodell is commissioner its going to blow up in his face.

I just think in general the athletic people that played football will go back into Basketball. I am sure some kids are taking note of the young guys retiring early and with the guaranteed money you can make in basketball, I see that ultimately being the choice for kids that we will began to see in maybe 5 to 6 years
