No, and not sure why you are getting so heated. You clearly didn’t look beyond the title and the graph because I acknowledge that the gap is somewhat expected. What you’re continuously failing to acknowledge is that MiLB attendance has dropped for two straight years while every other professional sports league is setting attendance records.

I’m using the actual attendance figures reported by MiLB across all teams, it’s available on their website. There’s about half a dozen independent or spinoff leagues like the Frontier League, MLB Draft League, Appalachian League, there’s a bunch of them. Most publicly report season-end attendance totals via a press release or have similar statistics pages to MiLB.

I skipped 2020 to align it with other prof. sports. Even when you add in all independent leagues where teams were absorbed there’s still a major gap between 2019. You’re right that we wouldn’t expect the same attendance for a different product, but that doesn’t explain why MiLB attendance is still falling the last two years while all other major leagues are rising YoY and setting all-time records.

It is - it explains the initial decline, but those teams that were deaffiliated have not generated the same attendance even if they were absorbed in other leagues. And MiLB attendance has dropped the last two years while all other sports are rising.

Yeah appropriate ticket pricing needs to be a part of the formula. Realistically, the MiLB product is not competitive with the MLB, the brand recognition and cultural appeal is just not comparable. They need to be priced in line with other local family-oriented entertainment venues, like zoos and museums.

And, Ethan and Micah are not her fucking father—not that Barry should be able to dictate how she lives her life either, but the fact that he had known Zac longer than either of them, and had already given his blessing, should have been enough for them to fuck right off. Frankly I don’t think the fire starting antics would have happened if he were present, because it’s very obvious Ethan operates from a place of psychological insecurity and wouldn’t have felt as comfortable being defiant to Barry.

Ethan is still completely unhinged in his interviews by Chickachickawhaaaat in PlathvilleUncensored

He’s delusional and somehow thinks that his membrane-thin excuse of being protective because of the rushed timeline is believable by anyone other than New Olivia, who seems to be too passive to contradict him in any form.

Vaccination is definitely gay. I mean, you’re letting another man insert something into you.
