The tournament is a perfect example of how I believe SX ought to be run, an elimination sudden death format where a huge amount of entrants are whittled down to the final. There is arguably no more drama in any other type of sporting competition.

The Final Four is such a ratings powerhouse, I think it is very likely that FX1 made a decision not to match up against it on broadcast times and in sports bars around the world.

And yes, this is in relation to growing the sport.

Even NASCAR takes a break. It’s a legitimate excuse for no race.....not March madness’s fault

They raced on Final Four weekend in 2017. There wasn't a SX event on Easter in 2017. Same deal in 2016.....

God had to take time away from watching out for the supercross riders safety, so he could watch the basketball.

I'd be happy to not grow the sport , rather than alter it for retards with the attention span of a goldfish.

There wasn't a race last night because they didn't schedule a race last night.

Does supercross ever run on Easter weekend? I've never paid attention to that.
