Just imagine if this was MLB and we were always trying to watch someone....
With 81 home games MLB has an attendance problem so they have to penalize fans with the TV blackouts. I’m sure they’ve analyzed it and the numbers support their strategy but long-term you wonder if it hurts the sport. Probably already has.

It’s killed the sport. Young kids just aren’t into baseball anymore because they can’t watch it.

I think youth baseball is also killing the sport. Little leagues have mostly folded or are on the brink, especially in cities, and have been cannibalized by USSSA tournament ball which favors the well-to-do suburban kids and requires a huge commitment. Participation is way down. Same thing in softball for the girls. Kids don’t play sandlot ball anymore and there are very few options for rec baseball/softball. I’ve lived it having coached my kids in both for 14 years in Des Moines until they aged out.

Because every team is now a “select” team, in every youth sport. Which means, of course, that none of them are actually select anymore but there sure are a lot of adults making a lot of money off parents convinced their little guy or girl will be the next Hall of Famer. So many kids on “select” teams are playing the same kids they would’ve played in the Y-League or town league but nobody made money from that so they just slapped a fancy-sounding word in there and now parents pay for the “prestige” of having a kid on one of these teams.

Baseball isn't the talk of the town anymore. Slow, difficult to watch on TV, fairly expensive to go to especially 80 times a year. We have so many more options of entertainment that don't require such a commitment.

MLB would get so many more viewers if they adopted banana league rules!

Great we’re going to miss the beginning of the game because of OT.
Ya. Not sure why bonus coverage turns into forced coverage. Also not sure why Washington didn’t go for 2. 2 pt success rate is above 50% for the league, and have to think their chances in an extended game in Philly are much less than that.

They should have gone for two points, and in OT they should’ve gone for it on fourth and five, instead they shank the punt, and the Eagles win.

Purdy has perfect 1st quarter: 5/5 for 60 yards.
