Well, you did call me a liar the other day. I think you're an entertaining poster, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is untrue. You're saying that only fans of teams in baseball playoffs watch the games -- as well as fans of baseball who don't live in a city with a ream? What makes pro playoffs different from NCAA tournament or Football championship/bowl games? Only alumna watch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only alumna watch? baseball playoffs are hopelessly dismal for ratings unless the Yankees are playing, thought I saw the median age of fans watching is into the 60s now for the regular season and high-50s for the playoffs The NCAA and NFL get it over quick, most fans have some kind of pool or $$$ riding on the games to help them out. it's not an inconvenience for fans who watch football constantly to watch 4 NFL playoffs games on a weekend, it's actually one of the best freaking things of the sports calendar for back2back 4 game weekends. Rogers in Canada spent a bloodbath fortune on the NHL package and ESPN did the same for MLB, there is no way they aren't regretting every second of this...

The Islanders are a good and tough team. They play a suffocating brand of hockey that I find unpalatable. They are a team I have no interest in watching.

shrader Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Are we seriously playing this game again where we tell people whether or not they're real fans? It's incredibly arrogant so think that everyone should think exactly the same way you do. Seriously folks, drop this petty line of BS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The distinction this time is clarifying a fan of the sport vs a fan of a team. You can't claim to like a sport, but then say you will not watch the playoff games, which are the best games of the year. It's not the same as questioning someone's fandom for criticizing a team.

I love hockey and I will tell you with a straight face the ratings for the NHL playoffs are horrible and have always been. The last time the NHL ratings were good in the US was the 1994 ECF Devils-Rangers. I wish I could lie to you and tell the ratings for hockey are good here in the US, but they are not.

I just read an article earlier in the week talking about Monday Night Raw had it's lowest ratings in years and reading about the numbers and dropoff but then later in the article it mentioned how they still beat out the NHL playoffs that night and it made me shed a tear inside.

YoloinOhio Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 Just now, Helpmenow said: Carolina looks real good, 8-0 wins in the playoffs I feel like they are being completely ignored by Cbus sports media. They keep saying the Jackets have played the two best teams so far in Tampa and Boston. Not sure about that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
