But their days of being #1 by a mile and being super mainstream and being relevant to virtually every male (and about half of females) from the ages of 5 - 80 are over. The market is going to fracture and fragment in a major way. And instead of trying to prevent that, they're actively trying to court it. Society is becoming increasingly politically divided and instead of saying to themselves "we achieved a dominant position by not taking sides, so let's try and do that" they're basically saying "TAKE SIDES TAKE SIDES" then being just shocked that their ratings are down and that every time they make a political statement (or choose not to make one, because the precedent has been set that making political statements is on the table for them), half the country hates them. I especially love how individual owners are making anti-Trump statements while still refusing to sign Kapernick. The ultimate "everyone else should look out for the social good, but eh, this would hurt my pocketbook so I'll pass." They all know that their fans would hate them and it would hit them in the wallet. And yet, Trump is the evil guy for saying so. Put your money where your mouth is (down the toilet) or shut up. And no, baseball isn't big. Not nationally at least. It's a super regional thing. It's big in Boston and Chicago and St. Louis and occasionally in other cities where a team happens to be pretty good for a few years (San Francisco, DC, etc.) but nationwide it's irrelevant. Maybe the future landscape looks something like this. Blue-collar, blue-tribe: Flag football (seriously, I know you guys don't think CTE is political, but it is, and it's the left who cares) White-collar, blue-tribe: Soccer (what better way to reject America than by embracing Eurosport!) Blue-collar, red-tribe: UFC (the ultimate redpill championship) White-collar, red-tribe: Golf (top tax bracket required for membership) --- SmartMuffin - Because anything less would be uncivilized - http://i.imgur.com/W66HUUy.jpg http://dudewheresmyfreedom.com/ <cite>SmartMuffin posted [p:887189421] in Freedom, L...
