My son plays college baseball. He and others of his generation watch very little professional baseball on television compared to my generation. YouTube or MLB.com clips of a great play or nasty pitch, yes. Free tickets to a game? Sure! But they are not fans of the game the same way I and others of my generation (and my father’s generation) were. Most of them don’t give a f&$k about Babe Ruth or even know who the great players of my generation are. They definitely enjoy going to a game if given the opportunity or may be fans of and wear the gear of a particular team, but it’s just not the same.
And that’s one of the reasons they support the left’s social and political causes. They see the bad numbers in the younger age groups and are trying to fix that by appealing to the “woke” younger crowd and they are willing to sacrifice the very country that gave them their existence in the hunt for dollars.
It’s not going to work. All they will manage to do is to drive away conservative millennials such as myself while gaining almost no one new.
