Is the MLB more perfect than the NFL?

 I say the next expansion team should come from Mexico City. It is, after all, the largest city on the North American continent....And they have made bids in the past. No reason not to include that city. (Mexicans LOVE baseball. Perhaps more than Americans....)

What are you talking about!? I think the NFL has sufficiently surpassed the MLB as most popular sport in America years ago. It is much better-balanced.....lol.

As far as youth sports, I read somewhere that more kids play football now, than baseball. It is certainly almost always must easier to get a backyard football game going than a sandlot baseball game.

But at least the "fad" of "reality tv" has largely worn off. That only lasted for all of a few years at it's peak. Whereas, the dramas have been around forever. How many Law and Order spinoffs are there now? lol. But that doesn;t apply to baseball or football anyway. Baseball has been around for 150 years (depeding on when you think it was invented) and football has been around and popular for about 70 years. In terms of merchandise sales, I bet the NFL earns more than baseball. I dunno, I haven;t looked it up, but I would probably make that bet.
