Ouch

Nobody cares though.

And since they had more viewers it obviously means nobody cares about college baseball despite them outdrawing the 2 premier MLB teams

Just because they outdrew college baseball doesnt mean nobody watches college baseball


And, I don’t remember that women’s title game up against anything in prime time and it was aired on ESPN.
The game last night was aired on ESPN2, up against the NBA draft that was broadcast on 2 networks. And, between those 2 networks, drew a little over 4 million.

“I don’t care about college baseball I promise” proceeds to spend Friday Night arguing on an online forum about it.

College baseball is kind of a niche sport, that's one of the things I like about it.

It's always odd to me how those who hate college baseball have to constantly bash it though.

Another good point.

So you mean that college baseball (which nobody cares about) essentially split viewership with the NBA Draft?

Well surely that means no one cares about the NBA.

I don’t. And it doesn’t change the fact no one cares* about college baseball.

*For the dumbasses here: obviously some niche people care about it. People usually say this when they are referring to a vast majority of people

At this point, I'm almost certain YOU have no idea what your argument is.

Youre right, the "vast majority" of people on Earth dont care about college baseball. Congrats, you proved your point

Thanks. So why is everyone melting down when I say no one cares about it?

Yes. Sadly you do not.

You know they sell a LOT of things at Walmart? Not just the top 10 selling products? Even though most shoppers are not looking to buy Monostat vaginal cream like you, they still sell it because there is a market for it.

College baseball is not, has never been, and will never be as popular as college football. Your argument is that until a sport is as popular as college football no one cares about it. That seems silly.

You never said it but you implied it with the revenue comment.

What is your demarcation line for “cares”? How many people need to watch before you say people care? Let’s get a number. Obviously 12 million people isn’t it. How many people need to watch before people care?

You really don’t know what your argument is do you? You just don’t like baseball.

The guy asked for numbers when I said people don’t care about it. What’s more proving that people don’t care about it than revenue? I never implied anything.

I want to say it's no big deal, just an early season MLB game, but ESPN hyped the hell out of that game. There was a commercial for it probably every commercial break.

You REALLY hate numbers don’t you?

Have there ever been 650 million people to watch a football game? People just don’t care about football.
