I foresee the end of the NBA; remember when Baseball was THE American game and then they went out on strike and the entire season was lost.

I don't, because it never happened. MLB has never lost an entire season due to a stoppage, but the NHL has.

According to the research site ballparksofbaseball.con, during the 1990s, which encompassed the 1994 stoppage that cancelled the World Series, 601 million people attended major league games. From 2010-13, just under 295 million people have attended games -- on pace to exceed the 1990s.

Memory’s a funny thing, I “remember” the whole baseball season going to hell because of the strike. The MLB the next season was bad as I recall and frankly, I was done with them at that point. I’ve never watched another game since.
