like our beloved Republic, Baseball will never die

Baseball is the quintessential American sport, it has always been the America's pastime.
There is no clock in this game. To win the contest, you must record runs than your opponent over 9 innings. (minus rain)
Yogi said rightfully "It ain't over until it is over"
And in baseball unlike the French or the NFL, you can't take a knee to start or end the game.

Football will never "die" but it may morph over time into being something fundamentally totally different.
It will still be called "football" but will have so many rule changes and modifications it may as well be a different sport.

This is what happens when you have the NFL constantly in your face with things like NFL Live, all the draft talk, NFL Network, you have Mon, Thurs, Sun, and some Sat games, the rules are killing the sport, Gooddell is a fricking clown, players are thugs, production is bland, and the downright politicization of the sport.
Add all that together and people are tired of the NFL.

Tell me, what happens in a baseball game when the home team is winning after the top of the ninth?

People watch sports to get away from the crap that's going on in the real world. Tell me what happened in 2008 that caused more people to turn to sports in '09 and '10.

The game is over. No one takes a knee.

the bigger problem is 2016 and 2017 had nearly the same skew.
meaning that whatever the trend actually is, it has become stable, and NEGATIVE, for the NFL.
not good.

Or maybe people are just tired of seeing the Patriots in the Super Bowl?
You may have in all of your facetiousness stumbled onto something just as in CFB. If every year it's the Patriots and some other team, people will tend to stop caring especially if the Patriots keep winning.....that being said, the Patriots are only .500 in 10 trips to the game, but they have been in close to 20% of all Super Bowls
Same thing with CFB. If it's always Bama, Clemson, Oklahoma and one other team it becomes overall a yawner.
Actually, for the good of the game, someone has to beat Alabama and give them a good arse kicking and have a non traditional team from a P5 conference actually play for the championship.....like a TCU or Okie State or Wisconsin or a California team

They certainly handled Auburn quite handily and Auburn was no slouch.
