10/15/25, 20:32No.151395640BASEBALL IS DYIN-8 fucking MILLION viewers for just the semifinal series. Highest rating in MLB HISTORY.
Why is /sp/ always wrong? Soccer is still not growing in the states, basketballs ratings are in the toilet, and baseball just outdid every football game this week.
And its not even the World Series.

10/15/25, 20:34No.151395662baseball is unironically the fastest growing sport in the world. soccer peaked about 2 decades ago during some of the most KINO world cup series ever, but now thats all gone.

10/15/25, 20:58No.151395964i remember when NFL games would be interrupted to update the LCS games and the NFL pre game shows would be a third previewing the baseball games during October. Popping a dead cat bounce rating doesn't change anything the thought of NFL being interrupted for MLB updates is insane now

10/15/25, 21:05No.151396045Good for you, nice. I'm not a baseball guy, I don't really get the sport and it seems very long to me. But I kind of appreciate the autism behind it. There needs to be a good bat-and-ball game, and I'll take baseball over cricket any day
But wasn't baseball struggling (relatively speaking) recently? Did it get turned around? How come?
Also, from my personal experience, soccer does seem to grow in the US, just not enough to eclipse the other sports anytime soon

10/15/25, 21:15No.151396159Do Americans tend to watch multiple sports equally? I am under the impression that the average football fan here is relatively clearly separated from the average handball, ice hockey, or basketball fan. It feels like most people have one main sport and don't really care about the rest, but I can't really back this up with any surveys
Since our clubs can span multiple sports (like Bayern also having one of our best basketball teams, or the former Hamburg handball team), some people may support their club in multiple sports, but the base for that tends to be football

10/17/25, 07:58No.151418723The problem is your product is just worse right now. You had two post season games and they draw something like 5-6M Americans, football had one game on Amazon prime and it draws 12-17.7M and it was far better in terms of quality than both games today (which had maybe two moments where the game scored actually changed, otherwise it was just a boring Slurper).You need more parity. Right now your sport looks like it can be bought. Like the hooker of American sports.
