I think baseball. The pace is too slow for this tiny attention span world.
I would agree but I think the rules changes will help. I don't see baseball going away but I could definitely see it being more regional interest based.
Also, there does seem to still be interest in kids playing ball. Our local baseball league, where my daughter plays Tball is very popular and the diamonds are always booked in summer for games and practices. So I am hopeful.
I have always had a dream to buy a minor league ball team. Maybe one day I will be able to buy an A ball team for 1 bitcoin.

That would be great! I go to a local stadium to watch a minor league unaffiliated team.

They probably all get bought up by investment funds etc driving up the price. The waves of liquidity will grow higher and higher as fiat dies. Folks next to the printer will be flooding money into every asset.

I think the low pay for minor leaguers and the long path to the majors for most will also play a role in declining baseball participation

Yes, but the guy who toiled 8 years in the minors and got called up for his first game is such a compelling story that is unique to baseball. But while it is compelling for fans of the game and adds to the uniqueness of baseball, spending 8 years making nothing, travelling on buses probably isn't that compelling for players these days.
