Professional soccer in the U.S. has a few years to go still. MLS is a joke. U.S. fans don't cheer for joke sports. They'll wait until that sport earns it's keep before they fully get on board.

The young ones like soccer. The majority of them played it, they understand it, and they follow it, not so much for baseball.

Men's soccer is the future compared to baseball and wrestling.
I think down the road the "big 4" will end up being
NBA
MLS or whatever replaces it
NHL
MLB

Sports like hockey require an extensive infrastructure. Wyoming could add NCAA bowling, rifle, fencing, and water polo (already have a pool) for very little expense. Of course nobody would know or give a poop if they did. But it might meet some Title IX requirements.

Nope...My opinion it'll be....

NBA
NFL (everyone loves the Super Bowl)
NHL
pro soccer (I hate soccer)

No one will give a rat's ASS about baseball and the World Series in a few years. Baseball destroyed itself by having a cancelled 1994 season plus having ramped steroid use by pretty much everyone in the 1990s. Remember Mark MaGwire ands Sammy Sosa?
I want CHAMPIONSHIPS not chicken poop! And we're getting chicken poop!!!!!!!!!!!

It was never more popular than when they were on steroids.

Baseball isn't popular because it takes too much focus and people don't.

NFL is getting poop IMO. With all the pussification and all, I don't see it remaining top dog

I honestly think as long as the UFC exists then wrestling will also continue to exist because wrestling is direct move to UFC and a number of top contenders are known for their wrestling pedigree.
