that 15 year old kid, the one that 20 years ago was barrackeded in his room playing on the internet/video games. He was not outside playing sports. So now at 35, he is turning away from most sports..if the sport is video game'ish..he responds, if not, he does not.Take a good look at movies, most are nothing more than glorified video games.
I am into cycling, your average bicycle club..50-80 year olds..most local races, a 1/2 dozen sub 30 year olds, about twenty 30 plus year olds and the rest are above 40. In my own family, my brothers, cousins, and friends were sports nuts. All we did was play sports...so much so that we often formed our own teams. Our kids...nada!!! Unreal. and this with the parents urging and signing them up as youngsters. And this now extends ot being sports fans, we are obsessed, they are Blah.
Tighthead is right. In short order, sports radio will be gone..(As will most radio...changing times). It is subtle, but I am curious to see the impact this will have on sports itself. This year's super-bowl. One with fantastic story lines bombed..worst ratings in years. That 15 year old has come home to roost.
