Meanwhile for the superbowl
>127M Americans
>60M foreigners
baseball could barely scrape together 26M even with half of japan and canada watching?
They failed to beat WOMEN's college basketball last year

they're fighting like a cornered animal for THIRD PLACE.

OKC vs Indiana was terrible for ratings. Two super smallm market teams with one of the most unlikeable superstars in a long time in basketball due to his foul bait style of play

I am just suprised the world series did as well as it did with a team from canada in it

NBA doesn't have a Nip who refuses to speak English

NBA teams should scout and find their own Nip

OKC & Indy were never gonna draw

Basketball media cooked themselves. A whole generation of players is unknown because they can't stop sucking off washed 40 year old scrubs like LeBron and Durant. Literally cucked themselves.

>>151795035
it doesnt help that objective top 5 players in basketball right now are all non american

>>151794988
26m is just US numbers
+japan and canada is probably 44m
still mogged by superbowl though

>>151794988
those ratings dont include japan and canada. It is just for the usa

if you factor in canada in japan it might be one of the most overall watched basbeall games in a long time

Father and I have been Utah Jazz fans my whole life. He's confused why my fandom has dropped off to basically zero since 2020.
Any advice how to explain black fatigue to a boomer?
His parents were racists but moderate about it, and he is typical boomer-pilled because he's only ever lived in a white society.
I don't know how to explain my fatigue to him without showing him my true power level.

boreball chicanos have a serious little hombrecito syndrome in america because their sport is nothing but a sidequest to 90% of americans

>>151795074
>>151795077
it's still inflated because a lot of americans were watching "to beat canada" and it was game 7
and as mentioned the NBA matchup was boring as fuck
next year baseball will regress hard. they're pretty much eternally stuck fighting for third place with basketball and if they're not careful they'll have soccer and F1 on their heels.

>>151795163
>it's still inflated because a lot of americans were watching "to beat canada" and it was game 7

this is only true if you count 4chan. More americans were in support of the blue jays than the dodgers because they are seen as the team that ruined baseball. On par with gsw after they got durant

If you got the Lakers and/or Knicks in that Finals it would have had another 10 million views or so

if you see an american flag shilling baseball you can know for CERTAIN you're talking to a dirty chicano mongrel
they got bullied out of their racial sport of povertyball by southern americans and have infested baseball to try and score white people points

That seems like a fake stat considering neither Messi nor Ronaldo are still around. Or do hut-dwelling thirdies really have nothing else better do do?

>>151795287
That's fake numbers ("potential reach"). Average live audience of El Clasico was somewhere between 85M and 100M. Even UCL Final doesn't even come close to 650M.
>Comparing global events reveals clear differences in how audiences are measured. El Clásico combines both average viewership (85–100 million) and potential reach (650–700 million), while the Super Bowl reports average U.S. viewership (127.7 million) and total reach (191 million people who watched at least one minute). The Champions League Final is estimated at around 145 million average viewers and a global reach of 450 million.

Don't believe everything you see on the internet just because there's a graphic.

>>151795367
El Clasico does indeed have ridiculously large viewership but it is not 650M and anyone who believes that is dumb. 8% of the world's population did not watch El Clasico, that's just ridiculous.

>>151795287
>650 million jeets who think it's still 2015

Sure they were a fun to watch team with a lot of great characters, but Indiana's population is about 4 million shy of LA County and that's not including the people in Orange and Ventura Counties and the Inland Empire, not to mention the Southern part of Central California and San Diego.

>>151795197
What's even the point of having these small market flyover teams in the league if people are only going to care about big name brands no matter how good or bad they actually are. All the pro leagues should just be 12 big market teams.

>>151794992
It was the anti-doyer sentiment

>>151795427
Are the pacers named for a pace car in motorsports? That's pretty weird if so, naming your team after something in another sport, but since it's Indianapolis i get it

Lakers raptors finals game 7 would probably draw similar numbers (in North America) as dodgers vs blue jays

It's just hitting what Rock hit 20 years ago.
There's too much competition at the bottom and at the top too many legacy acts that are sucking up the space while creating shit.
All genres go through it.
The good aspects of rap, (fast talking rhyming rhythmic lyrics, sampling, quick repetitive drum) were incorporated into general pop, the destructive aspects of rap (bragging lyrics, generic rhythms, robot voice autotune) have generally waned out of pop.
We're in the middle of something where something is gonna come up and change everything, we just don't know the what or where.

>>151794620
what would be the viewership if the world series was between... the brewers v orioles ? the numbers for baseball for the last few seasons are inflated due to dodgers/yankees and a team supported by a whole country versus the dodgers again. I like baseball, but let's be realistic here. I do like the new rules and would concede that it's helping the game, but still

>>151795147
This year was definitely an anamoly for baseball

>>151794620
i mean this isn't surprising honestly
baseball is the better sport but being realistic nobody gives a fuck about oklahoma city and indianapolis

People might not understand just how popular the NFL and football in general has become.
MLB is 2nd, NBA is 3rd, and NHL is 4th.

>>151794620
>NBA
>dramatic
kek. By design of the sport it's literally impossible to be dramatic. The time it's SUPPOSED to be (close game in final minutes) is when it decidedly becomes undramatic, just turning into a free throw-off

>>151795051
It doesn’t help the media tries to build up goobers like ja or SGA who are mega frauds

third. CFB is #2. And baseball is struggling against basketball most years.

>>151795451
Baseball has been "dying" according to doomsayers since the 19th century

>>151796141
We don't really count college sports as being a major sports league, but CFB would be #2. I meant the big 4 leagues (MLS is not one)

>>151796199
yes we do, NFL and CFB are two different leagues and occupy the #1 and #2 spots in America because Football is America's sport. Baseball is fighting for third place. There's a reason /nfl/ and /cfb/ are two very different generals

KD to the Warriors or Ohtani to the Dodgers which moved ruined their league more?

>>151796216
kek I meant the US media, not /sp/
The "big 4 leagues" are MLB, NBA, NHL, and NFL. CFB isn't counted like that.

>>151796276
CFB is bigger than everyone except the NFL though. Saying they dont' count is a cope for non-football cucks

Basketball is a terrible spectator sport

>>151796376
It's gotten so much worse over the past decade or so. It's unwatchable. People who complain about the ads in the NFL clearly don't watch the NBA because it's 10x worse.

>>151795147
Twice as many games and the ball parks usually have a capacity 2x a basketball arena so they mog in overall attendance

How does the MLB successfully markets a Japanese dude that doesn’t want to speak english while the NBA sucks at marketing their foreign players that do speak english?

>>151796353
this is how baseballfags cope with 3rd place at best?

Quality analysis anon.

>>151796531
the point is it's a 1:100 ratings matchup and a fake artifical boost for one year, the NBA had a shit matchup and still did well. next year baseball will lose to basketball again just like the year before

>>151796476
Canada peaked at 18 million, the average was 10 million

>>151796551
the difference is the MLB is increasing it's viewing while the NBA is decreasing

when i was a kid everyone liked baseball, then the steroid scandal happened and it fell off, they seem to have made a come back.

I also say that baseball has actual diversity, white guys, black guys, latinos, and even asians now

basketball is like 90 percent black, a libtards idea of diversity

That's not true. Baseball's ties with East asia will cause it to grow faster than NBA because people want to see Japanese players, anything from East Asia is trendy these days. NBA will continue to lose viewership because the product gets worse year after year and also fatigue.

>>151799925

People always refer to stats of the NBA rising in popularity and becoming the league of the future because they have the young crowd locked in. What they don't understand is that NBA is always a league you stop liking once you get to your thirties. Which is why the promised grow never happens. It'll always be a sport for ADHD youngsters and nothing more, more so with the spastic rules of today.
