RANT:Why are the radio stations giving preference to B's instead of C's

[D.o.s.]

Even when the Celtics were battling for titles, most people weren't paying attention until the finals!

Celtics are #4 in Boston, and are much more likely to slip to #5 than they are to overtake the Sox.  Baseball's losing fan interest in aggregate, but I'll be [dang]ed if I see any evidence of that around here.  The Pats will be relevant for as long as the Krafts own the team, and football's not losing any popularity.  Boston's a hockey town - dormant for a while, but it's a hockey town. 

And, there's a whole lot more kids playing soccer these days; it's not inconceivable that, in 10-15 years, you finally start seeing soccer grabbing more attention.  The sports you watch as an adult are often the sports you were exposed to closely as a kid.  The World Cup last year was huge.
And you've got the two most important ownership groups in New England who have made significant investments in soccer.  Robert Kraft owns the Revolution and would clearly love for that to become a lot bigger.  Gotta think he's behind the Boston-Olympics push, if it'll help get him a proper soccer stadium.  The Sox' owners obviously have their stake in Liverpool.

It's not going to happen immediately, but even when the C's were actually relevant there wasn't much *buzz* about them.  And the ratings trends for the NBA aren't going in the right direction.

People have been predicting a rise in soccer for a while now but it just hasn't caught on.  The World Cup is always huge but the momentum is never sustained in the US.  I think Americans just know a boring sport when they see one.  (*half kidding*)

...  Soccer's trending up; not quickly, but it's certainly a lot more popular today than it was ten or  fifteen years ago.  Not sure I'd say the same about the NBA.

That's because you're making blanket statements without looking into them. If you don't think the NBA is more popular now than it was in 2000 or 2005, I suggest you do some rudimentary research.
