    It makes me a little sad whenever I see stories like that. Canada’s 2010 gold medal game had half the country watching (and I think like 70% tuned in for OT?), Finland had 60% tuning in to see an IIHF final. Japan is pulling numbers for morning baseball from an entirely different league because there are two Japanese players on a team. There’s no great unifying broadcast like that in the US anymore. Even the Super Bowl only pulls a third of the country and a good percentage of them don’t even care about the game.

      Smaller populations and smaller geographical areas helps. Easier to market an event for a single time zone than six. In Canada’s case it was a perfect storm of national sport, international event, host country, and playing the Americans.

      • For all the complaining, this World Series is the first Yankees-Dodgers matchup in my lifetime.

        And I’m almost 40.

                My wife was complaining about the same thing. But I told her if the LCS went seven games, I believe it would have ended today. So, that's a three day rest for the WS, which would make sense.

                Plus, MLB wants to have the WS cover two weekends if it goes long.

                • They were going to move it up if both series went 4 games (maybe even 5), but with the TV schedule set up to avoid the NFL there wasn't really another option once LA went 6.

                              • Two great games so far. Yankees nearly came back last night.

                                2-0 Dodgers, but Ohtani dislocated his shoulder sliding and is day-to-day.
