LOL the reason soccer is so popular is that it's a cheap sport.

MLB is finished. It's decline mirrors that of Budweiser, Marlboro or Ford.

Unions, bad pricing & woke.

Good bye.

Baseball is toast as long as it's all HR, BB, K and nothing else.

That's just the game within the game. Don't forget bigger bases, a pitch clock, assholes on 2nd and no more rocking the catcher on a close play.

Nobody overseas has any money to invest in mlb.

Yes- it should ho global, however, you need $2bill to get the team. You gonna invest 2 bill in Puerto Rico? In Mexico? You gonna find 4 billionaires to invest in Japan?

I understand your point. But you should be comparing EPL to the other leagues.

EPL tix aren’t pennys on the dollar compared to NFL. Avg EPL tix are on par with Avg NBA tix and NFL tix are 2x the price of EPL tix. A decent spread but not outrageous.

No you should be comparing US prices to abroad

The US sporting ownership & event pricing is so far out of line with international/ soccer that it's becoming hardly comparable anymore
