re: Is football dying?

It is interesting that the packers have playoff tickets still for sale and with the exception of the Rose Bowl yesterday there were a lot of empty seats at bowl games.

But football and baseball are different games and hold different places in our society and history. I would honestly say that 50 years from now I could see baseball maintaining its popularity while football may be a question mark. Baseball seems to have greater survivability versus football. It's physically less dangerous than football and unlike Football it is the national pastime in places like Cuba, Venezuela, the Dominican Republic, and Japan and very very popular in Canada, South Korea, and Taiwan. Football can't claim that.

Boxing and horse racing aren't as popular as they used to be and there's nothing about football that says it has to always be the most popular sport in the country.
