RE: ADSactly Sports - The sports money machine: Are fans getting left out in the cold?

in #sports6 years ago

Great points @adsactly, the cost is that eventually it as a form of mass entertainment will take a sudden drop in interest, tv ratings, and people will start to do other things and newer pastimes will be born. The Baltimore Orioles employed a bonus program giving a ticket package to a box seat holder of two free 9 and under entrants to upper deck seating on a later date to draw more family participation in their games. That is a start. In my opinion I think the sports craze is beginning to peak actually, as NFL ratings are starting to fall and attendance is slowly dropping in these major sports, as it has been blamed on many things like politics and other things. I think the cold hard truth is after a while the fans are finally speaking up and telling their beloved franchises, "Ok, you have crossed the line for me to support you financially in even the more indirect ways," like watching the team on cable or even free tv. Maybe this has some correlation with the massive amounts of people that post their outdoor photos on steemit? Just kidding, nice post @adsactly.

You are so right! There has to be a breaking point where the majority of fans just say enough! There are other ways to watch sports and there are other options for entertainment.
