Cam Newton on WNBA > MLB
““Baseball is like a — I hate to say — a dying sport… I think baseball will be surpassed by WNBA in 20 years. Baseball isn’t being played by Americans anymore… It’s like, who’s really paying attention to baseball? Especially paying attention to baseball in the regular season.”
The future of the WNBA compared to MLB remains uncertain, but Newton has made his perspective clear. With the WNBA’s increasing popularity, Newton’s prediction may hold true.
