As it has regularly since 1937, Gallup polled Americans with the question: What is your favorite sport to watch? Football remained king, but basketball surpassed baseball as America’s second-favorite spectator sport

College driven, clearly.

MLB > NBA

WRONG

Quote:

It’s easy to figure out why the MLB is struggling to reach younger audiences in the age of shorter attention spans, and those Nielsen numbers don’t even reflect digital media. The NBA has an average following of 29.4 million on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, compared to 17.3 million for the NFL, 6.3 for MLB and 2.3 for MLS. All of which suggests the NBA’s rise to second in popularity will hold steady.

If millennials like the NBA more it just reaffirms my belief that MLB is the better sport.

I feel the same way about you old fuckers and your love for baseball. Old people always have the worst taste and opinions in things.

The last two minutes of a basketball game are all that matters.

120 seconds.

That's it.

Baseball actually matters past 120 seconds.

This is the equivalent of saying the first 8 inning of a baseball game don’t matter.

It's because of ESPN. Simple as that. Honestly, how retarded do you have to he to be passionate about african handball? Pass it to the best guy on your team and get the fuck out of the way.

Retarded sport for retarded people.

The 18 minutes of actual action in a baseball game matter. It’s the 3 hours of non-action that drag it down.

But that's the time you get to bullshit with a beer and a blunt/broad/buddy ... Or if you're a sociopath like me you comb over the fantasy baseball empire looking up stats snd shit. Quintessential bullshitting pace IMO
