Baseball had a first mover advantage which helped them a lot. Playing just about every day also helped create a routine for people. But as new generations come people are realizing that baseball has the least to offer among the big 4 sports in the US.
- Kon-Peki 5y agoBaseball is one of the worst sports for television because the game is done when the game is done. That just doesn't work so well for the half-hour time slots that TV uses. All these dumb rule changes lately to try to get the games to always take no more than 3 hours is MLB trying to fit the TV model. In-person and streaming don't have this constraint. That's what MLB should be emphasizing. So this is a great move. We need baseball to be an in-person/streaming-first, tv-last game. Then just say "we're not like the others, how about enjoying baseball and your other favorite sport?"
