@coleman_owenby You’d think so, but last year’s NFL viewership numbers were very strong. I think watching the NFL has become part of the muscle memory of American culture.

@RonDeSantis Football will be hard to top, but if the league keeps pushing its woke agenda eventually even the most hardcore fans will start to shy away from it. Baseball and its other pro sports counterparts are in great position to gain ground over the next decade.

MLB never recovered from the 94 strike. The McGwire/Sosa home run chase in 1998 helped mitigate short-term damage but the league suffered the permanent loss of some fans.

Baseball was the national pastime for most of modern American history; now, football is far and away more

@RonDeSantis The ‘94 strike nearly ruined the MLB. It was a fun Summer of baseball until that strike
