Answer 2

American Football is the biggest sport in this country. Go to a kid and ask them if they would rather play in the World Series or the Superbowl and most would say Superbowl. The NFL is just huge. Part of the reason is that it is willing to adapt. Baseball is essentially the same sport it always was, well those who say tradition is great will say that is how it should be, Americans perfer a game willing to fit what we want to see. Also that slow pace of baseball, at least in this country, makes it rather boring to watch. When baseball actually speeds up the game then people might care again. Who wants to watch a pitcher sit on the mound for about a minute without actually pitching? Another problem is the lenth of the season. They play 162 games. So until about 100 or more games into the season they are meaningless to the fans as far as playoffs. You can't tell who will make it and who won't. In the NFL there are only 16 games before the playoffs, and they are almost all weekend games. So the fans can watch all the games alot easier. Baseball has so many games they have to play most of the week.
