OutKick’s Clay Travis appeared on Fox & Friends this morning with host Will Cain to continue their discussion on MLB’s decision to move its All-Star Game out of Atlanta.
Will asked if Clay expects MLB’s ratings to decline akin to how the NBA’s plummeted this summer when the league embraced Joy Reid-level insanity.
“I don’t think there’s any doubt, Will,” Clay responded. “Baseball took a major body blow with this decision. Rob Manfred’s decision was the most disastrous decision any league commissioner has made in the 21st century.”
Clay goes on, “Baylor-Gonzaga drew 17 million viewers last Monday, that’s two schools without massive national followings. That’s 10 million more than any NBA Finals game. People love basketball, they don’t love woke basketball. Similarly, people love baseball, not woke baseball.
I’ve walked away from all sports , I never realized how much time was spent on sports . It’s actually liberating, I get so much more done and save money and drink less .
I think all sports should stay out of politics. When they left the players kneel and protest while on the field, they lost all respect. It used to be an all american pastime, now it is not. I certainly will not be watching any baseball.
There must have been at least 30 people in the stands for last night’s Orioles game.
