    Baseball is the regional pastime now. It is popular in pockets of the US, Central America, and parts of Asia. Soccer is a truly global sport. Baseball is dying on the vine.

    TV ratings are down, but average attendance is up 20 percent over 20 years ago. The rumors of baseball's death are grossly exaggerated.

    Baseball is still a very enjoyable game to watch in person, but it's absolutely awful to watch on TV. Soccer, in my opinion, is the opposite. It's a better TV sport than live sport (though I do enjoy watching it live). As well all know, TV reaches a much broader audience, as millions can watch there as opposed to merely thousands in person.

    There is a reason soccer is the sport of choice in countries where most folks can only afford to play "kick the can"....

    In the 12-24 age bracket, pro soccer has already surpassed the NBA in popularity. For the young American demographic, pro soccer is #2 in popularity behind the NFL.
