What was the primary reason for the AAGPBL's decline?

Lack of funding
Return of male baseball players
Decreased public interest
Competition from other sports

Answer

The primary reason for the decline of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League was the return of male baseball players after World War II. As men returned from the war and resumed playing professional baseball, interest in the AAGPBL waned, and the league eventually disbanded in 1954.
