    Which Pro sport goes bankrupt first?

    Baseball
    Basketball
    Football

    Something will happen sooner or later
    The rubber band will snap.
    Can’t continue these salaries and subsidies while no real revenue coming in

    No way these leagues keep milking the mouse

    None

    If any major sport ever had problems investors would swoop in to save it for cheap

    There gotta be a breaking point

    A place where the salaries and overhead can’t keep up with the income

    A place where the owners and their distribution of capital can no longer fend off the lack of interest by the public

    There is an X in this curve

    Only things that would cause a big 3 league to suffer enough to go bankrupt would be WW3 or a major economic collapse.

    In either case, we’re all fvk’d. Not just pro sports.

    Salaries would be scaled way back before it even approached that point. And you would see small market teams fold and contraction happen before any league went close to bankrupt.

    It's going to be baseball. In 100 years from now whites will be a small minority and as you know blacks and latinos do not watch baseball or let their kids to play baseball.

    I think a MMA type thing could hit the major 3
    It’s already digging its heels in
    Society has lost interest in baseball already
    Get more skaters and golf and tennis and swimmers
    Baseball has had its hay day
    Sad I’m my opinion

    Baseball still makes tons of money. And as long as the Red Sox, Yankees, Cubs, and Dodgers exist, so will Major League Baseball.

    TV revenue keeps on keepin' on.
    Most reasonable alternative to lobotomies.
    Even the homeless use car batteries to watch the TV sports...
    Gay bars may show soccer.
    The Big 4 Sports...NFL, NBA, MLB and NHL aren't going away anytime soon.

    Sadly, this seems to be the direction we are going.

    These fukkers just got too big, strong, and fast although equipment has tried to keep up.

    Unfortunately, it will be someone's cause to take down the pop warner leagues and then it will be the beginning of the end from there.

    Live music never went away shute, it's how the rest of it was marketed.

    Until the internet.

    None of the Major sports IMO.. Too much money and America loves their football especially.. NFL will never fold.. College football is massive too. Can't fold that!!!!

    If I had to guess Soccer leagues especially if the wall if finally built, immigration laws are changed and illegals begin to really get deported by the masses. Soccer may die off then.. Never a big American sport..

    Nothing will ever happen as long as folks continue to think it is even slightly real. Until people realize it is all fake all the big games have pre determined outcomes sports and sports gambling will always be king. Drug dealers cant touch bookies $.
