“Rush should save his money. In this depression sports gates may take a dive.”
Very true. The NFL spent the last 25 years changing from a gritty, blue-collar, working man league to an over-priced, over-paid, over-hyped celebrity fest. Ticket prices sky rocketed to the point that they were only sold to upper middle income earners and businesses looking for a marketing write-off. Now that those two groups are in trouble, season tickets to the local NFL team are the first things cut. Attendance is tanking.

Of course, you must realize sports teams make the lion’s share of their revenue outside of ticket sales.
