You seem to be focusing on that sole point as to why MLB will suffer longterm when there are numerous other points (that I and most others would argue have more value) that say MLB is doing fine and actually better than most think.

I'd say that the ratings being in the toilet for the World Series for almost a decade is hardly some skewed statistic or false equivalency.

Last years NBA Finals ratings 9.3
Last years World Series ratings 8.9

Maybe I'm missing missing something here, I dunno

Year before ratings were horrible, but prior year a 9.9 rating, year before that a 8.4, and a 11.4 the year before that

Like I and others have stated, there are countless other statistics that point to the sport being on the rise and far from a decline.

I guess it is ironic that NFL fans gloss over the fact that in game attendance is "in the toilet" yet harp on world series ratings for baseball.
