Okay, gentlemen.  I merely tried to put this thread up to signal that football had been moved back up as the top forum.  I did not intend for this to be a debate who watches what sport the most.  Basketball and baseball will get their turns at the top of the forum when their season is in swing.

I have no problem with it being at the top of the forum. Some people took some shots a baseball so I posted a simple statistic. Apparently some people can't handle it.
[/quote]

You posted a simple "misleading" statistic...but that's ok...
[/quote]

No. I posted a fact.
[/quote]
Yes its a fact but the way you look at it isn't. That is how it is misleading.

How is it misleading? I didn't say baseball was more popular, I didn't say baseball had a higher attendance per game. All I said is more people go to professional baseball games every year than go to professional football games. There is nothing misleading about that, it just a simple fact. I don't know why some people can't accept it.

Yes they do IF you count all the games together. Lets compare an even number of games. Take 16 games out of the baseball season and compare it to the 16 nfl games. Then you will get a "non misleading" fact.

Baseball = the most attended professional sport ;)
[/quote]
Most attended but not most viewed.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2012/feb/07/super-bowl-2012-tv-ratings-record

Super bowl last year - 111.3 million viewers

http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2011/10/29/world-series-game-7-averages-25-4-million-viewers-most-watched-world-series-game-since-2004/108958/

Game 7 of the World series last year - 25.4 million viewers.

Nuff said.  8)
[/quote]

Exactly people are willing to pay and go see a baseball game, but not for football. They just sit on the couch  an watch thier team's 1 game per week ;D 8).

[b] Oh and if you add up the number of people that watch the 2,580 different baseball games and compare that to the number of people that watch the 256 football games I bet you baseball has more viewers. [/b]  Also if the World Series  averaged 20 million viewers per game that would make 140 million for the whole event.Which is about 30 million more than the Super Bowl.
[/quote]

You must be a liberal, using numbers to suit your arguement...Do you honestly think that each of the 7 games of the World Series were watched by completely different viewers? That's the only way you would get to your misleading 140 million viewers statistic.  More likely, you probably had 20 to 30 million of the same viewers watching the "Series".  Work the numbers all you want, Football is "King" in Southeast Texas!
[/quote]

Does it matter if it was different people? No matter how you look at it there were more sets of eyes watching the WS than watching the SB.

BTW the way I nevet claimed the Baseball was more popular than football. I just said that baseball had a higher total attendance and a higher total viewership.
[/quote]

[b] Simply because there are more games played [/b]...Turn the Superbowl into a 7 game series and answer the viewership question again.  Once again, very misleading.  FF, you're comparing apples to oranges...

The truth of the matter is that football has both a higher total "per event" attendance AND viewership...and yes, you are right FF, football is more popular too!
[/quote]

[b] Duh!! [/b]

How am I being misleading? Did I post something that wasn't true? Nope, I just responded to someone who attacked baseball by saying " baseball = the most attended professional sport" and some of you freaked out about. Don't get your panties in a wad football is still king and I never said it wasn't. However more people watch and go to baseball games every year than do football games. That is a fact.
[/quote]

The bolded parts are where I both brought up the fact baseball played about 10 times as many games, and then acknowledge it again after that. It still doesn't change the fact that more people go to baseball games.

[/quote]
Yes they do IF you count all the games together. Lets compare an even number of games. Take 16 games out of the baseball season and compare it to the 16 nfl games. Then you will get a "non misleading" fact.
[/quote]

How many times do I have to say [b]baseball has a higher attendance because they play more games[/b]? Every one knows that, but it doesn't change the fact that more people go to baseball games. Its ok lol. It's not a misleading fact. If it is what am I supposedly misleading people to believe?
[/quote]
See now there you go. Now you said the entire fact. And if you look above you didn't even mention anything about it being because yall have more games. Just pointing that out.  8)

Oh really?

Baseball = the most attended professional sport ;)
[/quote]
Most attended but not most viewed.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2012/feb/07/super-bowl-2012-tv-ratings-record

Super bowl last year - 111.3 million viewers

http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2011/10/29/world-series-game-7-averages-25-4-million-viewers-most-watched-world-series-game-since-2004/108958/

Game 7 of the World series last year - 25.4 million viewers.

Nuff said.  8)
[/quote]

Exactly people are willing to pay and go see a baseball game, but not for football. They just sit on the couch  an watch thier team's 1 game per week ;D 8).

[b] Oh and if you add up the number of people that watch the 2,430 different baseball games and compare that to the number of people that watch the 256 football games I bet you baseball has more viewers. [/b]  Also if the World Series  averaged 20 million viewers per game that would make 140 million for the whole event.Which is about 30 million more than the Super Bowl.
[/quote]

You must be a liberal, using numbers to suit your arguement...Do you honestly think that each of the 7 games of the World Series were watched by completely different viewers? That's the only way you would get to your misleading 140 million viewers statistic.  More likely, you probably had 20 to 30 million of the same viewers watching the "Series".  Work the numbers all you want, Football is "King" in Southeast Texas!
[/quote]

Does it matter if it was different people? No matter how you look at it there were more sets of eyes watching the WS than watching the SB.

BTW the way I nevet claimed the Baseball was more popular than football. I just said that baseball had a higher total attendance and a higher total viewership.
[/quote]

[b] Simply because there are more games played [/b]...Turn the Superbowl into a 7 game series and answer the viewership question again.  Once again, very misleading.  FF, you're comparing apples to oranges...

The truth of the matter is that football has both a higher total "per event" attendance AND viewership...and yes, you are right FF, football is more popular too!
[/quote]

[b] Duh!! [/b]

How am I being misleading? Did I post something that wasn't true? Nope, I just responded to someone who attacked baseball by saying " baseball = the most attended professional sport" and some of you freaked out about. Don't get your panties in a wad football is still king and I never said it wasn't. However more people watch and go to baseball games every year than do football games. That is a fact.
[/quote]

The bolded parts are where I both brought up the fact baseball played about 10 times as many games, and the acknowledge it again after that. It still doesn't change the fact that more people go to baseball games because they have 3 times as many games as football. If football had that many games football would destroy the attendance records of baseball games.  8)
[/quote]



there thats better.
[/quote]

Your math is terrible. Baseball plays 10 times as many games as football. It still doesn't change the fact that more people go to baseball games. I love how you football worshipers can't accept it  :P

Oh and no football wouldn't break baseball  attendance records, because if the tried to play as many games as baseball all the players would be injured before they got to 500 games.

Okay, gentlemen.  I merely tried to put this thread up to signal that football had been moved back up as the top forum.  I did not intend for this to be a debate who watches what sport the most.  Basketball and baseball will get their turns at the top of the forum when their season is in swing.
[/quote]

I have no problem with it being at the top of the forum. Some people took some shots a baseball so I posted a simple statistic. Apparently some people can't handle it.
[/quote]

You posted a simple "misleading" statistic...but that's ok...
[/quote]

No. I posted a fact.

Yes its a fact but the way you look at it isn't. That is how it is misleading.

[AggiesAreWe]

The only way you can compare sports attendance that has a large discrepancy of the amount of games played is by looking at average attendance, not total. Anyone with any kind of sense should know that and not make comparisons otherwise.

Yes it is a fact that the total MLB attendance is larger than NFL attendance but any nimrod should know that by the larger amount of games played. It's not a fair comparison which are what some are arguing about.

There is no comparison everyone knows football is more popular. The only I was trying to is show the football worshipers who were taking shots a baseball is that football isn't first in everything. Apparently that worked because some of them can't handle that more people people go to baseball games.

Those numbers clearly say Football is Americas #1 sport w/nearly 1/10th the amount of games played and close to 1/4 the amount of total attendance in the big leagues.Now in college & hs I bet the numbers of attendance of football is 500 times more than any other sport ;) 8) 8)

[RETIREDFAN1]

Baseball is the most attended sport by the math....

162 games times 32 teams = 5148 games

Football has 16 games times 32 teams = 512 games.....

IF the NFL played 162 games, it wouldn't even be close in attendance.....
