I saw a report today that said ticket sales were extremely low. I think one of the problems is that there are too many sports. Once again, the economic principle of marginal utility seems to hold true; that is, the more you have of something, the less meaning it has. With sports like synchronized diving and swimming, the rest of the sports seem to suffer.

This, I believe, is one of the reasons that football, for instance, is so popular in this country. With only 16 games, each game becomes that much more fun because it seems that much more important instead of, say, 162 baseball games (blah).

I have to tell you, I am quite excited for baseball games (73-105).
Anyway, I digress.
I have had mild interest in soccer. And I will have interest in track and field when that comes on, being a former runner myself.
