US brahs what's the second most popular sport, basketball or baseball?

I heard some stuff a while back about baseball declining in popularity especially among younger generations, but also that NBA ratings are at an all time low due to PC bull**** that a lot of the players buy into.

Which is more popular? Or does it depend on what state you live in and whether you're inner city or suburban?

I think basketball has overtaken baseball.

Nobody under the age of 35 watches baseball anymore but baseball fans actually care about the games. Most basketball fans don't even watch the games, this is evident from their chit tier analysis, and just watch highlights, trade deadline and twitter beefs. I say all this as someone who quit watching baseball 10 years ago and still loves basketball

I agree, or even nice afternoon games BRB get some sun in your skin while getting hammered watching a game.

That said, baseball is still being overtaken in popularity.

Baseball is a regional thing and is the goat in person experience.

Nothing beats a warm summer evening game at Wrigley, fenway or Yankee stadium

Young sloots everywhere in the beer gardens(its insane)


Zero percent chance a bulls game is more popular to attend and socialize than a cubs game in Chicago


Baseball tv regional ratings are actually strong too


The older I get the more baseball I'm watching. As millennial age they will match more baseball since most of us remember the glory 90s era when we played little league and watched Griffey bonds and McGuire hit bombs.

I’m 27 and feel like that’s why a lot of people my age don’t watch baseball now. Our memories are of the best era of baseball. The game now doesn’t even compare to the 90s and early 2000s.

It was such a fun era back then

Do basketball fans not also feel that way about the physicality and rivalries of the 90's? I see a lot of fans say that players are all buddies now so rivalries don't mean anything and that the defensive side of the game is dead

Last time I checked baseball was still more popular than basketball.

Over the past decade, basketball had been rising sharply and baseball had been declining but I don't believe basketball has taken over.

I think more recently basketball has stalled but baseball is still declining.

Some do. But nba does such a better job at marketing players and appealing to young fans.

I don't know. Probably basketball is more popular. In my family baseball is much more popular than basketball. The nephews attend baseball games often. When they were younger they played the sport on various teams.

When it comes to money it seems baseball players are paid more than basketball players. If I was talented enough to play pro sports I'd want to be a baseball player with its higher pay and potentially long playing career.

Here of late though I have read that more Americans have stopped watching sports due to all the politics. My guess is that fewer American viewers, will not change sports being involved in politics though.

Basketball seems to be gaining a good following in China here of late too.

Basketball is more popular because it attracts the black mainstream audience. the basketball merchandise, shoes, jerseys etc seem to sell a lot more than Baseball merch

or its just a more entertaining sport to watch lol. baseball is boring as fuk... super fun to play, super boring to watch.


hockey (even tho im not really huge into hockey) is more action packed and entertaining than both of them combined.

Basketball. More hype.

What would you rather see? A nice clean homerun, or Vince Carter putting his nuts in someone's face as he dunks over them?
