I hope not. I watch the Cubs games every night and if they are blacked out on MLB.TV I listen to the audio. Football will never be what Baseball is for me.

Simply put, 🏈 is more an event, once a week for 16 weeks, plus playoffs and the Superbowl. Baseball is something like OVER 9000 games a season, and much slower on the action since the minging over steroids.

I think Americans ran out of pastime in their daily lives and can't enjoy baseball the same way we used to. Now our weeks are full of stress so we let out our suppressed emotion during violent football games once or twice a week.
