RE: Funniest thing you'll read all day.
Some sports fans cannot see the forest because of the trees. They are unable to step outside of their little group and see their sport the way others see it. They do not realize just how small of a following their sport has in the US.
Case in point, all this past week all you heard from sports car people is they were PO'ed because Fox didn't show all of Lemans on either FS1 or Fox Instead of splitting it between FS1, FS2 and Fox Sports go. The TV numbers came in and it has a short period at the start which saw close to 300,000 hh watching. but the rest of the way saw less than 200,000 and one portion saw less than 100,000 views. This in a country where around 120 million people say they are motorsports fans.
The top period they had was less than 1/3 the viewers who turned in this past winter to watch an indoor midget race from Tulsa. They just cannot comprehend that the so called greatest race in the world just does not have a large fan base in the US.
