Younger crowd could careless, the NFL has bit the hand that feeds it. Younger generation digs soccer and axe throwing, most don't even have cable accept for internet to stream.
Seems like an overgeneralized, hyperbolic exaggeration of current circumstances that flies in the face of my own experience with college aged and young professionals. But sure.

Baseball, is actually whiter and wealthier han ever with all the travel ball and expense. The diversity seems to come from latin America these days....
Whiter and wealthier than when? And the wealth involved is all relative to where you happen to live and experience the game being played; to the point of the Latin American influx into the game over the past 30-40 years, you don’t need a lot of money to play it and play it well. Lot of insane talent from otherwise poor countries and backgrounds, nevermind that most public parks in America provide a baseball Diamond and leagues for kids to play. It’s a very accessible game, that some families choose to drop thousands into travel ball doesn’t make the game itself any more or less wealthy overall.

My son plays rec ball where I live and there's no way he'll make the high school team when he's that age. Even if he was talented enough and had a great try out, there are so many kids that are known commodities that they wouldn't take a chance on him.
