I like his honesty. He's saying that no matter how outraged people are, in general, sport fans are suckers. They spend more and more and more and, no matter what kind of BS the players do, they just keep paying and then pay more. So he's just being honest: "people will watch this guy even if he's OJ and my job is to win so why not?" Now, saying that sports fans are suckers is certainly provokative, but I can't of a any other activity that people spend more on to *view*. For example, there are lots of movie fans out there, but only the most crazed will spend money to "get the jersey" of a movie star. Music? Same. The stage? Even fewer there. Don't get me wrong, I like sports. I used to love watching prof football, but I stopped years ago. My brother, who was a true fanatic, quit 2 years ago with the Randy Moss debacle; he burned all of his football stuff in his driveway and a few of his neighbors brought their stuff over too. As professional sports like basketball and football move to the prison yard, many people will continue to watch. They'll pay more. In fact, I bet the PFL (prison football league) will get more $$$ than the NFL in years to come. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Enterprise web applications, build robust, secure scalable apps today - Try it now ColdFusion Today ColdFusion 8 beta - Build next generation apps Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:241172 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
