Which part is sad?
The ratings drop is sad.
Needed a sarc tag, apparently, lol.
I played sports growing up and was an avid fan of the big 3...baseball...football..basketball...I couldnt wait for final 4 time and new years day
Then too many players started thinking they was above the law...universities and fans encouraged it...slowly but surely the emotional attachment began to go down and now I only watch the final 4 finals...and no college football...and the superbowl is all i watch of the NFL...
Once you lose the emotional thrill..its over. And if they think fans can turn away but be lured back....it dont work like that. Online I can watch highlights and keep up with stats.
Killing the goose that laid the golden egg is an ageless saying.
