Football vs. Baseball: USA Popularity in 2035 | Is Baseball Losing Fans?

I saw a program on US television that fewer and fewer Americans are interested in baseball.

And that in 2035, football will push the sport of baseball from fourth place in the USA.

Although not in all states.

New York, Texas, California Baseball will always be more popular than soccer but overall soccer will be #4 and baseball #5.

My husband, who is from Texas himself, is a real baseball fanatic and in Texas itself, soccer isn’t even in the top 10 most popular sports

Sports like rodeo, motorsports, basketball and ice hockey are clearly more popular there.

My husband suspects that baseball is too complicated for most people because the rules of football are much easier to understand and are more or less reminiscent of rugby.

Baseball is a pretty complex sport.

Football used to be viewed more as a women’s sport, but the MLS had already done everything right for marketing purposes by signing Lionel Messi.

Most Americans don’t like anything complex, which is why he thinks that football will replace baseball in the near future.

How do you see this sport really being too complicated for them?
