TV sportsball can’t survive on 13% ratings.

Thank gawd. It's about time.

Now, let's get down to business with some REAL racing.

Zackly. I'm old enough to remember baseball games on the radio. I'm not a sports fan but honestly, is there anything more boring than having to watch baseball on TV? OK, golf, but other than that? Yet at it's peak 100 million households had access to ESPN. Not only has ESPN become a propaganda outlet for leftists (which that kind of reach how could then not?) - but if you look at obesity and diabetes trends you'll find they were flat from 1960-1980 and then started climbing like someone hit a switch.

Which they did of course - you couldn't get ESPN without subscribing to cable or satellite TV, which meant you also got CNN and the rest of the crap. Now the number of subscribers is dropping because people are cutting the cord and finding other ways to get the same content, but the behavior patterns of being sedentary and unhealthy foods are impacting our healthcare systems.

Want to improve public health? Get away from the screens, get a portable radio and listen to the ballgame while walking or exercising.
