State had 16k fans at the baseball game yesterday, their record for softball is 2,300, yet somehow espn thinks there is more demand to watch softball than baseball on tv

I suspect some Title IX influence is part of that. If they never showed women sports, all hell would break loose.

Because to most of the world college baseball is right above intramural football. I know you guys want it to be different but it isn’t. Nobody hardly watches this sport.

How can they when it ain’t on tv. Many don’t want to pay to watch it when there’s a tv to watch things without paying extra.


Women’s sports are gaining more attention because that’s all that’s on. Would folks pay extra to watch these female sports? I doubt it.

Softball might actually be a better TV product than College Baseball.

Quicker and more action.

With the changes in baseball this year with the pitch clock it is making games more watchable.

No more throwing to first base a half dozen times or better with the batters backing out to adjust their gear and me yelling at the tv to “just play the damn game!”

Plus it’s easier to steal second base which adds more action to the game.

Maybe these changes will help draw more interest to the game.

To the woke, like ESPN, Southern white males are public enemy number one. Who, for the most part, dominate college baseball? Southern white males. I will probably get flamed, but facts are facts whether you like them or not.

Can we put this dumbass word to rest? Stolen from the black folks and reinterpreted to who knows what.

Any one who uses it appears to be a moron. But that’s just my opinion.


I’m tired of the political crap people can’t let go of.
