Action sport average view is 47- so much for appealing to the kids. Even in my 30s I know fewer people watching sports with any regularity. On the other hand, I don't think I could name more than 2 or 3 primetime shows, so maybe I'm not the target view any way

Most people I know view sports as a social event rather than an appointment viewing.

Normally, I'd be sympathetic, but the jackass over bid on assets and then turned around and gutted his staff to make up for the mistake, including announcing the latest round just in time for the holidays- freak him and his liver
