I Feel Bad for Baseball

[dotherightthing]

i feel bad for your poor mother

 

[the next guy]

I feel bad for other sports because they aren't baseball.

But I don't really give a fukk about ratings. If you won't watch it, it couldn't mean less to me

Thing is selig and the execs dont care about that breh. More ratings = more money for them. This is a problem to the big wigs and soon they move ball games to the afternoon. World series during rush hour getting outdrawn by maury? Thats lame no two ways around it.

no i mean when you look at birthrates you see that most of the country will be elderly by 2050. old people dont buy sports apparel, attend games etc. the sports consumer base will be gone, which is a fact

If what you say ends up being true our cable bill will skyrocket. But the good thing is that you're wrong, people will always wanna see live sporting events. And lol @ sports apparel going down with old people. My Grandma buys 2 new Vikings hat every year , one for her and one for pops and and he refuses to wear it till they win. They aint the only ones that buy gear for the fukk of it

having said that, a lot of people are just nfl fans because everyone else is...if that isn't followers mentality I don't know what is. half these bums can't tell you anything outside fantasy.

Theyres too many channels and things to do nowadays nothing gets great ratings anymore except FOOTBALL it doesnt mean baseball is dying its still the 2nd most popular pro sport

You make it illegal for americans to gamble on pro football and then well see how the ratings are

Only because of revenue. By everything else the NBA is number two, including ratings. And I agree about football. The gambling is a joke.

 

[Duvali]

isn't their a running joke among science fiction writers that baseball dies in the future?


i think they got a point.

i will but i have to look for all my sources again. i had to research for this subject, its part of a larger problem in america and globally in all developed countries: ie our birthrates have dropped below replacement levels which is a giant problem in more ways than just sports. heres a article about it i think it got posted in HL a couple weeks ago. if youre really serious about me posting all of this stuff for you you should read it:

The Gray Tsunami | Aging | DISCOVER Magazine

heres a article about healthcare problems associated to this also

The Dementia Plague - Technology Review

The latest global demographic analysis, from a World Health Organization report issued earlier this year, paints the dimensions of that slow-motion catastrophe in quick strokes. An estimated 36 million people worldwide currently suffer from dementia; experts predict the number will double, to approximately 70 million, by 2030 and triple by 2050. (China, India, and Latin America in particular face daunting medico-economic crises.) Since the prevalence of the disease doubles with every five-year age increment after 65, projections for 2050 put the total global population at risk for dementia (people 65 or older) at two billion. The calculus is as grim as it is simple: as more people live longer, more slide into dementia. Care for those patients currently costs $100 billion a year in the United States, with a projected cost over the next 40 years of $20 trillion; by 2050, the cost to U.S. society is projected to be $1 trillion a year.

so we as a country would need to spend 1 trillion every year for these people, just for the ones with alzhiemers. in 2010 we spent only 793 billion yearly for all healthcare for all people in america. 1 trillion is one billion, one thousand times.

i'll get the data on elderly spending for you later i have to dig through a whole bunch of beureu of labor statistics pages again. but im telling you that they spend the least amount of money in all of society

i didnt really want to get into it with you because t his conversation isnt really for this type of forum, or if you arent willing to really think about the subject. thats why i said what i said i wasnt trying to get into a big thing if you werent really trying to take it to that
