I do nothing but provide you with real data and reality and your responses:
"Just wait,you'll see!!"
"Go woke,go broke!!"
You brought nothing to back your opinion but emotional tripe.
And now you're really trying to tell me the NBA will be gone in 5 years.There's not one professional individual who studies the business of sports that would agree with you.

Depends on how long it takes each league to expand the fan base in China.

lulz. Not updated you didnt
NBA revenue down $1.5B
NFL loses $4B in revenue
MLB revenue is down, debt is up
NHL to lose $1B in 2021
MLS revenue down $1B
NCAA lost $600M in revenue
A LOT of folks have moved on. A full year+ is a long time in a persons life. Theyve saved money, realized how petty athletes are, how political shifts are dangerous, and they have forever opted out of the fake drama

My opinion on CFB. It has become a regional sport. So called Division 1 teams on East Coast and West Coast are just not competitive
for the National Championship.
The fans know it and don’t attend, top players don’t have a desire to go to these schools. A great majority are lowering academic standards to try and compete for athletes that don’t meet standards,
Attendance is down (a few acceptions) across country. Kids aren’t playing the game at youth level.
The BCS killed the game.Going into a season their are only the SEC champion and maybe next best, the Big 12 champ, Clemson, the Big 10 Champ, and Notre Dame that realistically stand a chance. Kids know this and these schools lower standards (even Notre Dame) to get them by any means.
Is Vanderbilt football, Rice, Boston College, even UCLA going to compete for BCS spot?
Middle school kids who are on pace to attend college and get an engineering degree. Aren’t going to get their brains beaten in for 4-5 years for love of game.
The SEC is the minor league for NFL.Along with 10 other schools nationwide. Students, parents, fans, know this.
I love the game especially SEC football, but to think it’s a representation of colleges nationwide is ridiculous.
I think to expand fan and student interest we have to go back to the Writers and Coaches Polls. Even the Lambert Trophy. Make the Bowls mean something. Let fans speculate and this will broaden interest.
But we live in an era where TV contracts rule
CFB. This regionalization of the game is what
we have and the majority of universities just don’t or can’t be bothered.
It’s embarrassing to to some universities when a player is interviewed and can’t put a complete sentence together or Student Athlete of the Week is a marketing major with a 2.8 GPA.
In closing I attend 5 CFB games a year. But I long for the old way when we debated after New Year’s Day Bowls whether
Penn State, Pitt, Nebraska or USC was better than Texas or Georgia.

I follow more than watch these days.
If someone gave me free tickets to a sporting event I’d go if it was convenient.
But I can’t imagine ever paying for tickets again. Other than LSU football. But only once a year for the experience of the whole day. Not the game as much.
As you say, too much BS.

Really? So a once in a 100 year pandemic is the norm? Ive qualified multiple post with non covid years but are you really trying to tell me it's the norm when revenues for the NFL went up every year from '01 to '20? MLB had record revenues In '19? How bout NBA revenues for '18-19 season?
Are you REALLY arguing Covid years are the norm when almost all major sports (NFL,MLB,NBA,P5 CFB) had record revenues the year before?

All i know is this, i haven't watched but maybe 5 NBA games in 2+ years. It's just too much politics and ego. When LeBron James finally decides to retire, the NBA is going to be in REAL trouble!

As long as people continue to gamble and bet it will never plateau

I’m not understanding of a major decline in these sports is tied to a salary cap. How does fan interest move with salaries?
Posted on 2/24/21 at 8:14 am to Moustache
Way back when, MLB & Boxing had more eyeballs & fan fervor than the NFL or NBA. No one could have predicted 75 years ago that one day they'd be at best a 3rd option or simply an afterthought.
I don't when the NFL or NBA will be supplanted by another (currently existing or new) sport, but it's not hard to see that both have already started their descent.

They would be getting paid for it though.

It’s quite simple.
Less fan interest= lower ratings+ lower attendance = less revenue = lower salaries
