The Irrelevant Individual Fan II
This blog is written mostly tongue in cheek. Some points may be informative. Please provide your feedback.
If you suffer from self-irrelevancy, please seek professional advice.
Hello. As mentioned yesterday, the sports owners consider individual fans irrelevant. They are focused on the corporations. Will this hurt them?
The answer is, maybe. From a gate receipt perspective, no. They can charge whatever they want for 80% of the seats and not have to worry.
From a TV perspective, definitely. Leagues like the NHL which have always been gate receipt based are now suffering with a lack of TV exposure. Kids are not able to watch the games easily in some areas, so they don't know the sport. When they become adults, they don't purchase NHL stuff, but rather another league's souvenirs.
There is a chance most leagues (except the NFL) will no longer be able to command the money they want to. So, does that make the irrelevant fan relevant? More tomorrow.
Regards,
Irrelevant
