I know it's a popular take to think the NBA is about to overtake MLB, but people have been trying to bury MLB for years - first with Soccer (ha!) and now with the NBA. MLB has not been top dog for quite a while...but it's firmly #2. With as many games as they play each year, it's really astonishing how many people attend per night for any given team.
MLB's meta-problem has always been the same in terms of common sense solutions for improving the game - individual teams are far more important to the owners than the MLB brand. In other sports, there's significantly more loyalty to their sport/league.
I'm not an NBA fan, cuz I don't have a team, but NBA is way more popular than MLB. If KC had an NBA team, the NBA team would have more people per game then the Royals. It's NFL NBA MLB [Reply]

Is that why game 6 of the NBA finals drew 12M viewers and game 6 of the MLB WS drew 14M? The NBA finals as a whole averaged 9.91M viewers vs 11.75M viewers for the WS. A way more popular sport couldn't beat the viewership of little ol' baseball when 50% of the WS included probably the most hated team in the sport right now. [Reply]

Baseball dominates primetime viewership night after night for six months in every major American city, and has the #2 championship event in pro sports which outdraws everything on television but the NFL. Seems pretty healthy to me.
Once again, as it has for years, the World Series easily outdrew every non-NFL program in television, beating the top-rated weekly primetime show by >20% in total viewership. https://t.co/WV5jd3oukC
