Just like how television destroyed Broadway and concerts have ceased to exist since you can see the same thing on the internet.

Baseball should die, even if it’s not exactly dead or dying but it certainly isn’t more interesting on tv than it is in person.

All games should just be on tv with no fans involved.

Just have all the players from every sport go to something like the NFL combine.  Measure the measurables and play everything on TV via XBox or whatever people use to play games.  No injuries and just pay the players based on the number of viewers.  Then Jerry Jones can eat what used to be the Dallas Cowboys and they can use his field as a dump site.  The Meadowlands is already on a dump site so it just would revert back to its original usage.

Hockey is the only sport where it is better to be at than watch on tv.

I'll give you that but I still prefer going to any sport in person.

If you're wanting to watch the whole game, no FFing, baseball is my preferred in person sport ....

Sounds like a poll question.  But I'm not about to learn how to do that today. 

Hockey for me in person.  Used to be baseball but way too long nowadays.

Yankees and Red Sox do not have this issue. Baseball is a tradition for those teams. We have little tradition for the rays or Bulls and many people that live here are not from here and have allegiance to other teams. I mean the watch parties here for other colleges are ridiculous.

They also sell a crap ton of corporate tickets and have millions more people living there.

 A little research turned up this for baseball...

NYY are averaging 42,000 attendance out of a population of 8.7 million for .48% rate (avg attendance/population)

TBR are averaging 15,000 attendance out of a population of 2.8 million for .53% rate

So I conclude Rays>Yankees!
