Baseball is a lame sport where athletes are way over paid and owners with incredible wealth keep silly tradition updated. Ratings for this sport are at all time lows and nobody now days under forty really follow it or show much interest in the world series. The incredible ponzi scheme owners have unlimited access to credit based on projected growth. Throw in fact that many of these bastards have their buildings financed by the tax payers is another insult to the public which most don't even follow this sport.
There is no doubt in my mind though that this scam is going though. Baby boomers are really only ones interested in the game and willing to fork over the eight dollar beers and six dollar hot dogs and have no problem with these insulting prices. Their grandchildren though, will have nothing to do with this fucking game. So may play it in school has it provides some athletic achievement and notoriety in school, but from dwindling number of people who attend high school or college games I wonder if they still get any. I had the sport instilled into me as a kid. I follow it a little and a reason why generations after the boomers care less is the number of alternative things on television to keep a child occupied and more interested. While I am a sports fan there is nothing more dull and unintresting than in a game at night on a friday night in June. There are more things younger generations care to do than hang with middle age and elderly baby boomers watching millionaires make millions from a boring game.
