Compare and Contrast
Growing up, there are countless young boys, who have the dream of someday being a professional football or baseball player. Going outside and letting the imagination of being on the big stage and making the final pitch to win the World Series or the final Hail Mary throw to win the Super bowl. As a young kid, the dream of one day being the best and be paid to play a sport they grew up loving and playing. Although the sports of football and baseball are both very popular, there are a substantial amount of differences between them.
Compared to baseball, football is the more popular sport in the country. In 2012, Super bowl XLVI had an estimated average of 111.3 million people watching as the Giants beat the Patriots. However, the World Series that year only managed to average 12.7 million viewers to watch the series between the Giants/Tigers. So looking at the two championship events in both individual sports the super bowl was clearly the more popular championship game of the two sports. Due to such a high amount of viewers, Super Bowl commercials can cost advertisers millions of dollars for a commercial spot in the Super Bowl. In last year’s super bowl XLVII, the cost for a thirty second commercial slot during the super bowl cost around 3.5 million to 4 million dollars. The reason why these commercial spots are so expensive is because the super bowl is always watched by millions of viewers every year, so the chance to have your product viewed by millions is going to cost you. If an advertiser decided to buy a commercial slot for shortly after the game went off it would cost them $800,000.
Both football and baseball are dangerous sports that have repercussions that can occur at a moment notice but football is definitely more dangerous.
