I’m betting no or limited decrease. If every member on this forum boycotted, we still wouldn’t amount to a pimple on Felds ass. Americans are too spoiled, undisciplined, and lazy to stand up for anything…….

That was not great racing IMO. 450 moto 2 had some good racing and a bunch of drama, but outside of that the track sucked, it was follow the leader.

Some short memories out there. Magas were calling the dems hawks talking about how we needed to stay out of the russian invasion becauae they were scared about staring ww3. Reps held off sending weapons support to Ukraine for 6 months while dems were trying to send it. Now here we have magas thinking they were the dems in that scenario. It's friggin bizarro world out there...

“ It all just sounds like a shift towards monster trucks , WWE style BS. And then again, it could also all be BS to keep certain press out and Feld will negotiate rates down to much more reasonable numbers for favored media. And if You don't cover it like they want, BOOM Your now paying out the ass for any footage or access.” This👆🏻. I couldn’t quote your wall of text……..

Why has NASCAR viewership declined so drastically? 1. Stupid Media Rules 2. A “playoff” series created for television, that the fan base despises, ie; SMX.

This control is all about Feld/MX Sports bending over backwards to get a new NBC deal. So they are cutting out the alternative media. It’s not even about money it’s about controlling the narrative and product. But the REAL POINT I wanted to make is… I watched this happen to the UFC in 2015…. The NEXT YEAR they suddenly sold the company for 4.25 BILLION dollars. So NBC might just be the excuse they are using. From what I heard NBC is so happy with views and “video retention” and this is going on the 5th year being on Peacock...

You are all absolute legends. Keep charging. Please fellas… Just keep charging. 💪😌❤️💃

Where did I say it was okay when Obama did it? Criticizing Trump doesn’t mean I give Obama a pass. And saying “legal” doesn’t make it legal. Lawyers who specialize in press freedom are calling these bans unconstitutional. My position is simple, a president shouldn’t use government power to punish news outlets for coverage he doesn’t like. That applies whether his name is Trump or Obama or any other President.

Well, at least that answers the "now what?" portion of your retirement question. 😆

I never watch Award Shows, or the "Talent Show" type shows, or Reality Shows. Most of TV is just fucking lame as hell now.

This is the info I was referring to; but, only had it from a text from someone that was not sure if it could be shared publicly. I think we all understand that SX/MX/SMX is a for profit business; but, it really would be nice if they didn’t seem to completely forget “the little operation”, and I’m referring to someone like Burkeen… & that people like him…they’re in a tiny lil’ segment of their own…and it sure as hell would be nice if they didn’t try to eliminate the fun small operator like Matt. I guess we can chalk this...

Man, I remember in 2022 going to A2 supercross, stands were mildly full, buddy and I bought upper deck tickets and roamed wherever we wanted. Couple years later, sold out completely. I credit the personalities of the sport and the corresponding social media content for the fanbase growth the last few years. While I do agree you need to filter the people filming and not anyone with a 10 follower IG page needs credentials, the stars of the sport and the access to them via their social channels gave the sport a boost it needed, which is not a metric...

It's only a matter of time before Feld figures out what NASCAR has had to do to "fill" the stands. Reduce the size of the venues and then paint the seats so it looks like someone is sitting in them🤣. Sounds like a great use of AI for the broadcast... Moto is just like NASCAR in a couple of ways. They've crapped on their core fans to the point of disinterest in the live events and they've changed the formats to suit broadcast, not the actual racing. One day they'll wake up and their attendance will be half what it...

Yep. It seems like biting the hand that feeds you. And all stemming from some squabble on a group text ? 😄 "What can we do about these guys they make me sooo mad...." "Hey I know, these guys are making money off of OUR event" !! OUR event !!! It's our event". "This is bullshit, they gotta pay from now on"
