Beer is next folks.
I was an avid follower of The Winston Cup. It became increasingly difficult to watch the races when it became The Sprint Cup and the rules changed, and changed and changed...
I didn't care that a tobacco company sponsored the races.
NHRA about died when Winston was forced out. It became almost impossible to find the damned races on the TV.
NASCAR is much the same deal. What channel is it on? What DAY is it on?
Pretty soon I stopped bothering to try finding the race.
That was when I stopped being a fan.
The tracks have been taking seating out for the past few years to make the remaining stands appear full to the cameras. Attendance is down.
For years they've been chasing "fans" who will tune in or go to a race for the novelty, but aren't the sort of folks who become vested in attendance or viewing.
FFS! I used Penzoil in my car for years because Eddie Hill was sponsored by them. I'm willing to support the sponsors of the teams I like.
I don't particularly care for Budweiser, but I'd buy a 12 pack occasionally to toss a bone at Jr.
But now...
I stopped caring a long time ago.
It's the increasing catering to a market that isn't going to support the sport until it's dead.
A death it deserves.

ReplyDeleteYep. They made the fatal mistake of listening to the women folk and the fags in marketing.
ReplyDeleteThey turned it into a politically correct estrogen fest and killed it dead with estrogen poisoning. After literally being a life long fan, I can remember watching the 1965 Daytona 500 for Chrissakes, they lost me over ten years ago.
I refuse to watch a regulation choked, glorified 200 mph parade filled with pussified "Racing Stars" and their ever present handlers just waiting to pounce at the first sign of manliness or whiff of testosterone. They have all thrown their dignity and family names in the gutter chasing money.
Real racing isn't always about the money. Good Lord the guy's who raced back in the day must be spinning in their graves like gyroscopes.
Cars going really fast in a circle, boring. A very large percentage of their base is pro 2nd amendment. May be "Moms Demand Action" will start watching...
