Why do the detractors of baseball seem to be the most vocal? I feel like it's just hard feelings from little league or something

He's Canadian, I doubt it's Little League related at all.

There are three types of people who don't like baseball:
1) Meathead neanderthal who thinks sport means beating the shit out of one another 2) Guy who doesn't like any sports 3) Douchebag who hates on anything popular |

I do like sports, I'm not stupid, and baseball hasn't been popular in years, in fact it's about to be surpassed by the NBA in terms of popularity. The pecentage of fans are decreasing every year. The All-Star game didn't sell out for the first time in forever. And if the Yankees or Red Sox aren't in the world series than it can barely get any ratings.
Baseball is dying, and young people today don't care, doesn't look good for baseball in 20 years. |

I gotta say myself, while I love playing baseball its the most ungodly boring sport for me to watch.
I have watched golf and been more excited. |

For someone who hates the sport, you sure seem to pretend to know a lot about baseball.

LeBrons special did better in the ratings than the All Star Game, which was the lowest rating in years, and while the game may have been sold out, I read that there was quite a few empty seats.
I dont need to love or hate a sport to follow sports in general, and I don't need to follow it to read facts, and know that baseball is on the decline. Attendance is decreasing, and ratings are down. Those are facts, I dont need to be a Yankee or Sox fan to know that. Last edited by IC Champion; 07-17-2010 at 12:20 AM. |

Championship: Stanley Cup hands down
Playoffs: NHL, they play every 2nd day for like 2 months, the first round is incredible, 2-4 games a night for a week Regular Season: NFL, 16 games, every game is a big deal Tradition: Probably baseball, yankees still don't put player names on their jerseys. Hall of Fame: Only been to NHL All Star Game: tie, they all suck All Star Festivities: NBA slam dunk contest Draft: NFL Television Coverage: Probably NFL, in Canada, NHL is pretty insane. Live Atmosphere: Haven't been to mlb or nba game Uniforms: NHL Fans: NFL, everybody has a team and cheers so loud. |

Championship: NFL
Playoffs: NHL Regular Season: NFL Tradition: MLB Hall of Fame: MLB All Star Game: MLB All Star Festivities: NBA Draft: NFL Television Coverage: ALL THE SAME Live Atmosphere: NHL Uniforms: NFL Fans: NFL Ands I agree about baseball. Although playoffs come it is an interesting watch and I don't mind it. But regular season is UNBEARABLE. I feel like im wasting my life watching it for 3 hours..but that's just me. In person is a different story ..it's fun going to the stadium and getting a good buzz. |

Championship: NFL - The Superbowl is like a guaranteed "game 7".
Playoffs: NFL - I would say MLB, but they've been drawing it out too much lately and it screws the strategy. I know the NHL playoff/Stanley Cup are "amazing", but I can't get into it. Regular Season: MLB - I would say NFL because "every game counts", but with the amount of games in the MLB season it really makes it feel legit. Tradition: MLB - Founded in 1869, and many things that happened over 100 years ago still matter. Hall of Fame: MLB All Star Game: NFL - MLB sometimes, but this year's sucked. All Star Festivities: ? Draft: NFL Television Coverage: NFL Live Atmosphere: NHL - I have not been to an NFL game, so it's hard to say. I'm not even a hockey fan, though, and I loved the game I went to. Uniforms: MLB Fans: I hate fans. NCAA is not a sport you foolish man. |

Championship: NHL (its just such a pretty trophy)
Playoffs: NFL (loose one game and your out, thats alot of pressure on the players, and exciting for the fans) Regular Season: MLB (162 games, playing almost every day, takes alot to make it through the season) Tradition: MLB (NUFF SED, i like the way players of today are measured against the players of the past) Hall of Fame: MLB (seems a tad harder to get into the hall) All Star Game: NBA (the guys just go nuts) All Star Festivities: NBA (a few more things to do for the players and the fans) Draft: NFL (they just do it better) Television Coverage: MLB (seeing that im in NZ, we dont get much of anything, so what i see of it all, baseball comes up better) Live Atmosphere: aint been to anything live of these 4 Uniforms: NHL ( i just like them) Fans: NHL (they are loyal to a bloody fault) this is my veiw, but a think far from what many of you will list |

Also the reason baseball sucks is because if you don't have a team to root for the games are absolutely unbearable, whereas I can still enjoy a basketball game even if I don't have a side.
FUCK BASEBALL |

My biggest gripes with baseball are that the 1st half of the season really doesn't matter, and that it seems like 75% of the time the players don't give a shit what happens. |
