The strike year in the 90s is when I think it happened.

Looked it up, 94-95.

Basketball was king in the 90's for what I remember.

I felt like the Greatest Show on Turf took the NFL to new heights. The 1999 St. Louis Rams changed everything.

Royals have the same number of World Series wins in the last 40 years as the Dodgers, Cardinals, and Braves. Yankees haven't been to the World Series since 2009.
In the NFL having a future HOF QB makes a huge difference. In the NFL, small market teams have generally been able to hang on to them after drafting them.

So you have parity in that sense. Young, Favre, Indy/Manning, Brady, KC/Mahomes but it can take years for the pendulum to swing.

In the NBA, the super stars have typically left for big markets as soon as they could. Although the last few years have bucked the trend of the big market teams dominanting somewhat.

The Yankees still have what, one in four or one in five of every World Series title? Bought with one of the highest payrolls.

I don't think the NFL dependence on having a top 5 QB to have much of a shot for winning the title is actually good for the league overall. Although obviously if that's how it's going to work, I'm thrilled to have Mahomes.

Basketball did seem like king for a while in the 90s.

NBA basketball was incredible in the 80's. Lakeshow, Celtics, 76'ers and a bevy of teams that were folded in from the ABA with superstar talent.

I never played football, but yeah, I always found it interesting to watch.
Solid point. My boss pushes his kids to play soccer because when practice at the indoor facilities or play there in the winter he can get a beer.

I do fear football will eventually go the way of baseball. As it pushes for more games. ect. It's a long way from being that watered down but they really should stop pushing longer seasons and work on a developmental spring type league or something. Put a higher quality product on the field not the same one but more tired and spread out.

Pretty close to me as well. Followed the Royals more until that point.

I have to agree with many posters on here that MLB was way better pre strike.

Made me remember something: another nail in the coffin for me was the widespread use of metrics. Took a lot of the drama/excitement out of the game for me.

Had to be more recent than the strike, I remember some playoff series from the early/mid-20s were top stories.

I'd put a vote toward the TV contracts - baseball has been an outlier in how regional it is and when locals can't watch their team then interest falls pretty quickly.
