Why is owning an MLB team so low prestige and shitty compared to the NFL, NBA, THE Premier League and even MLS and NHL/NLL?
>>
baseball's core audience is quickly dying
>>
>>157561392
it's full of hispanic sports refugees bullied out of soccer, football and prevented from following basketball and hockey
>>
>>157561304
No one cares about MLS, the NBA is a joke, NHL is niche, MLB is comfy, and the NFL is the only one that really matters.
>>
>>157561304
Combination of entrenched regional TV deals that go team by team instead of a big shiny national package and that they haven’t successfully suppressed players' pay with a salary cap (yet)
>>
>>157561304
Because literally no one cares about Los Angeles Angels and they are not the main baseball team in the market.
It is like asking if the Clippers would sell for as much as the Lakers would
>>
It's not MLB it's the Angels. If he bought the Dodgers or Yankees that would be highly prestigious. The Angels have the longest playoff drought in MLB.
>>
>>157563112
No this is disingenous and retarded. The Angels historically have been a very good team and have won a championship. They have a massive fanbase and still draw in the top 10 of attendance very eyar even when they're bad (unlike the Dodgers). The Clippers are the embodiment of a wart and are the biggest joke in pro sports. Don't ever compare a team that has SOVL like the Angles to a soulless corporate team owned by the slimiest/richest man in pro sports

>((((Anschutz))))
>>
>>157563861
Anschutz is actually one of those overzealous Christian Zionists. He might be worse than (((them)))
>>
if the Rockies had been on the market sooner he would have bought them instead? they're just owned by billionaires with no reason to sell...
>>
>another flyover seething thread about baseball
give a break, paco
>>
>>157561304
It's a bad sport
>>
>>157561576
>it's full
no it's not
