>You could track American decline pretty cleanly with football taking over baseball as the most popular sport in the country. Thoughts?
>>220271352Track it then.
>>220271352i thought they didn't like football there wtf
>>220271352actually, it was when baseball lost popularity
>>220271352Which football?
>>220271390wait i read that as basketball instead of baseball. i apologize for my arrogance
>>220271352TRVKEbaseball is a thinking man's sport
>>220271413Do people play baseball in France?
to be fair, you need an IQ of over 136 to appreciate the fine nuances of baseball.Meanwhile any sub 30 knuckledragger can watch football
>>220271352Crazy how our second peak was during the brief period that baseball was becoming popular again
>>220271352>image entirely consistent of text>OP just repeats itYou could track American decline pretty cleanly with football taking over baseball as the most popular sport in the country.
>>220271620>Crazy how our second peak was during the brief period that baseball was becoming popular againWhen was this?
>>220271808Late 90s, post-Cold War era. Baseball stars were injecting steroids like there was no tomorrow and slamming home runs every night. It was great for the ratings.
>>220271597>senoooor the only team sport with hispanics in it in america is actually elite and aryan o algo
>goyball #1 vs. goyball #2who gives a shit
retarded cope, baseball got KWAB'b in the 60s
>>220272685Niggerball is the only muttsport that foreigners follow to a degree, surprised it's that low in murka
>>220272745Tracking someone's FAVORITE sport is different from tracking views, attendance, merch sales, etc. It's not as concrete. What kind of conclusion could you even draw from that stat?
>>220272685>>220271352Do these mean 'football' that you olay woth your hands and a pointy thing, or actual football? I though it was talking about latinas flooding the country but it seems maybe you're just talking about a war between different mutt sports.
>>220272745Dude didn't even mention NHL. Nordic status revoked
>>220274519Denmark is a footie nation
>>220274723How about Italy
>>220272685>Update1965-1971 is when America started going to shit slowly
Baseball always seemed cooler to me
>>220276600Do they play baseball in Georgia, the country?
>>220271352You can track American decline by charting obesity rates with the decline in manufacturing.
>>220271352Same with test cricket being overtaken by tacticless unga bunga sports like afl and rugby league
>>220271380He's talking about rugby.
>>220277967I thought Australia was cricket central? One of Australia's most popular cartoons has an entire episode dedicated to it.
>>220277967Cricket and baseball are the tacticless ones. The same exact position between every play. Football, hockey, afl, on the other hand, have literally thousands of different possible scenarios on the field. The players and action can literally go in subtle but almost infinite variations.
>>220277628No
>>220271352Sounds pretty retarded, we were doing pretty good in the 80's and 90's and football apparently overtook baseball in 1972
>>220280541trvkeIt's mostly unathletic manlets and hispanics (but I repeat myself) shilling baseball
>>220271597So true
>>220280769What happened to Cuba and Venezuela then?
>>220271352Um
>>220285025Yeah
>>220280541There are plenty of criticisms you could level at cricket, not having varied positions on the field is not one of them.
>>220289015They just catch the ball, they can't interact with anything or anyone. In football every player on the field changes position every second which affects the entire dynamic of the game.
>>220290379In football they just kick the ball. In cricket there are a large range of both fielding and bowling variations.You're being reductionist about a sport you clearly know nothing about.
>>220290508I like batting sports. The argument is just if there are different tactics- cricket, no. It's a game of pure skill, like running the 100m dash. Team ball games have probably 100 to 1000 times deeper tactical aspects.
>>220272745Alo Women's College Basketball Tournament beats out NBA finals in viewershipForeigners vastly overestimate how popular NBA is. It's well behind NFL, MLB, and College Football.
>>220274323handegg you wanker
>>220271352You could track American decline pretty cleanly with non-White people taking over White people as the most populous demographic in the country.
>>220291922This hasn't happened
>>220278053It has a 2 month window a year where its popular and football codes encroach on the start and end of each year>>220280541There is way more variation in what can happen in 1 ball. Centuries of autism have gone into minmaxing tactics Compared to jocks intuitively running into gaps so they can receive passes
>>220271835>>220271620Post McGuire pre and post hormone therapy
>>220277819America brings back manufacturing when
>>220271352Football never took over there
>>220271352Friend, it seems you've made a mistake. Both you and me are americans.I believe the correct term would be unitedstatian or usonian
>>220295830People from the US call themselves Americans.
