Give the content away. Make it more available. What purpose does NBC have going through youtube clipping 5 year old races? The sport is shrinking and they're limiting access to the sport now more than ever.
To whoever just made that point about Ralph, holy 💩 you're right and it took this for me to see that. Ralph is annoying but man you're right about him drawing attention to where Tomac is on the track.
It's just the absolute disrespect Rutledge had on Pulp that made me drop and benefit of the doubt I had for him.
Rutledge you are talking to an ex ELITE level rider who is still relevant in the sport, and arguably the most recognizable media personality we have, and all you could do was argue and talk down to them like they know nothing about this insignificant sport? Bad look.
I'm a core moto guy, but I'm going to go out on a limb here....Hopefully I articulate this correctly....
I watched some Arenacross broadcast a couple weeks ago, and while I appreciate the racers and the announcers, man it looked and sounded totally amateur. It was difficult to watch because it just seemed so much lower teir than Supercross. Well, I'm pretty sure anyone who "stumbles" onto Supercross on NBC Sports thinks the same thing, if not worse, about our broadcast. It's sad but I think it's true. How do we change that? I don't know, but I do know it's definitely not Rutledge or whatever nonsense they will have him doing this weekend. In my opinion the crap he's been doing on the broadcast makes it WORSE.
Nobody is going to become a fan because of flaggers being showcased. If they show some factory bike stuff, the technology and R&D it takes to make Supercross suspension work for example, and someone keeps watching...THAT'S the fan who will stick around.
But you know what? Maybe I AM wrong. I'm not so arrogant to not listen to a riding legend and an incredibly knowledgeable media guy just because I've been "friends" with MC for ten years.

Every time he says "bro" I wanna knock his teeth out. He will never be a "We" when it comes to our sport.
He must be taking it in the bung from someone high up.
Yes, i had to look up how to spell croissant
Those with a vested interest (like the manufacturers) should be dropping Honda “i wanna ride” type commercials into every other sports broadcast slot on TV. Make it look fun and safe. Don't lure them into TV to watch Marv laid out on the floor for 5 minutes. Let them understand the difference in those guys level first. Get kids interested, get families on bikes, and you’re almost guaranteeing an increase in fan base as it is now relatable to those people. They missed a golden opportunity when everyone was stuck inside over the past year. Sales were up, but how many were truly “new” sales?
From a TV perspective, catering to a casual fan that doesn’t exist is painful for everyone.
With how Feld and the AMA do things, I really don't have much to worry about.
You know how Crusty Demons of Dirt attracted the tatted, flatbiller, 909 crowd (which I'm fine with because they're gritty)? Imagine what the Ruttledge Wood crowd would look like. Before you know it, guys will be getting penalties for roosting too much and the mains will automatically have to include 3.5 women, no matter their qualifying times.
Only we can do that!
He was a condescending ass and good on DV for standing up and not giving a shit who he was or where he worked.

My ears hurt too!
This guy wouldn't shut up or let DV talk at all.
I'm not one to complain a lot but this guy don´t like him.
If he is really into grow the sport he would put something about SX in his IG feed but there is nothing ! he is just doing his job and pretending that he cares about it but I bet he doesn't.
We would never be so lucky to have DV be the tv personality. They should cater to the awesome fan base that SX has. We all freaking race and ride and know the sport.
Ralph is in the cool guy club as well at this point.
A couple of years ago i believe that the supercross broadcast won an Emmy if i'm not mistaken. They had that shit down.
If a new fan isn't interested in the stuff Blair is showcasing, they aren't going to stick around anyway.
I liked Miller on MNF....I always found the need to have a dictionary nearby. His vocabulary was out of this world.
It's one thing to LS swap a '96 4x4 Ford van with 35" tires (because the 351 sucks), and entirely different thing to ruin the handling characteristics of a Porsche. 🤣🤣🤣
