Every time I see an anti-Sox thread here I ask myself: Why do many NFL fans have such an inferiority complex that they feel the need to dump on MLB?
It's not just here, Florio does the same when he posts his giddy ratings reports about football beating baseball.
This isn't news. Football is more TV-friendly, and more accepted by an increasingly short-attention-span populace. The shift happened a long time ago. Times change. Who cares, if you're a baseball fan?
Yep, the first thing I always ask myself when deciding what sports to watch is: what's the business model?
Some day in the future, when Kraft no longer owns the Pats and someone much less savvy than Belichick runs them, will you change your allegiance to another team? Or to another sport?
No, I would hope not. For most, once a fan always a fan to at least a degree. Which is why many people still love MLB. And want to listen to news and talk about it.
