Basketball is the only American sport insulated from that problem since it's so incredibly cheap to take up and 'only' takes one competitor and one backboard/rim to play. |

Soccer is also cheap and available. Hell you don't even need the hoop just the ball

There is truth to this, but even my kids who play baseball have no interest in the professional game.

For years kids would give me shit when any of my teams would lose any game. Because it mattered to them. After we lost to the Patriots in the AFCCG at home, I braced myself for the typical "CHIEFS SUCK DURRRR" unimaginative nonsense and...nothing. It's like I was invisible. No one said a word. It was great, but also sad because the time had come when sports didn't matter to kids. Used to be a lot of kids wearing Phillies, Yankees, Penn State, Eagles, and Steelers gear with a few Giants fans mixed in and the typical Patriots and Broncos front runners. Now I still see Steelers and Penn State but not nearly at the same high frequency. They really only care about instagram, snapchat, youtube, and gaming. |

One of the other factors could be that more parents shy away from encouraging their kids from participating in things that have the "win/lose" outcome. No one wants to hurt their kids psyche by having someone tell them they lost and need to get better.

Probs BS, my Oregon buddy claims the PAC is looking to add KU, Tech, Houston, and a “mystery school” who’s name hasn’t leaked.
