I can clearly see football being eventually replaced by soccer.
The sport is dying. Fans no longer care nor do they have the patience or attention spans to sit through a 4 hour commercial-laden spectacle where the action is only seconds at a time.
Throw in the SJW mentality to the mix and I can see this sport gone in less than 10 years.
Who wants to pay $100 per ticket to see this anymore?
Some might even make an argument that Fantasy Football started the death spiral. Perhaps. It hasn’t been enjoyable to me since the Rozelle days.
The issue all these sports are now facing is very similar to what you saw with television over the last 35 years. As cable and satellite TV made it easier to get more and more options on the screen, it diluted the viewership to the point where nobody gets substantial ratings anymore except for occasional spectacles like a Super Bowl or a presidential debate.
Perfect case in point: Los Angeles. It's one of the largest metro areas in the country, and yet sports teams often struggle there because -- well, because there are so many sports teams and entertainment options for people there.
Given the ongoing feminization and vilification of masculinity in this country, I can see that too.
It's happening.
Mark my words, in the next few years, the most popular US athlete may very well be Christian Pulisic, who plays for Dortmund in the German Bundesliga. He is only 18, and some are already thinking he can be as good as Messi or Ronaldo eventually.
If you talk to kids, and ask them who their favorite athletes are, most likely Messi or Ronaldo will be near the top. They just aren't into the NFL nearly as much.
